About The Role

Great architecture is proven in production, not on a whiteboard. We’re hiring a Lead Software Engineer who designs systems, builds them alongside the team, and stays accountable once they’re live.

Techdome is a profitable, product-driven company with 80+ engineers building healthcare, fintech, AI, and SaaS products. Our platforms handle sensitive patient records and real financial transactions for large user bases. You’ll be a technical leader who helps keep them fast, secure, and dependable as we scale.

What You’ll Do

- Own the architecture: Lead system design, API contracts, data modeling, security, scalability, observability, and cloud cost across our products.
- Be accountable for reliability: Own uptime, latency, and throughput as usage grows, including a share of on-call.
- Build security in from day one: Design safe PHI and payment flows with compliance part of the architecture, not a retrofit.
- Drive cloud-native delivery: Run MERN-based platforms on AWS, GCP, or Azure using Kubernetes, CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and sound secrets management.
- Make the hard calls: Monolith vs. microservices, event-driven patterns, third-party integrations, build vs. buy. Make the decision, document the reasoning, and stand behind it.
- Fix what’s broken: Jump into production incidents, find root causes, and resolve performance, scaling, and availability issues.
- Set the standard: Create reference architectures, reusable patterns, and practical guidelines that our engineering teams can follow.
- Stay hands-on:



Write code, run design reviews, and review pull requests every week.
- Grow the next leaders: Mentor engineers and help develop future tech leads.
