As a Tech Lead / Solution Architect (Stream Lead), you will lead an engineering pod (stream) building features for an enterprise-grade SaaS platform in the data privacy, data governance and AI governance space. You will own the technical design of your stream within the client’s architecture governance, break the backlog into deliverable work, and make sure every sprint ships production-ready, well-tested code. This is a hands-on leadership role that combines solution design, code and design reviews, and day-to-day guidance of a team of backend, data/AI, frontend and quality engineers.

Key Responsibilities:

- Own the technical design and solution architecture for your stream, aligned with the client’s architecture governance, standards and review processes.

- Break down epics and features into well-defined user stories and technical tasks, and provide reliable effort estimates.

- Lead sprint planning and execution for the pod, making sure committed scope is delivered on time and meets the definition of done.

- Conduct code and design reviews across backend (Java/Spring Boot, Python), frontend (Angular) and integration components, enforcing quality, security and performance standards.

- Design scalable microservices, REST APIs and integration patterns, including connectors to SaaS, cloud, data and AI platforms.

- Drive release readiness: test coverage, CI/CD quality gates, documentation and deployment sign-off.

- Identify and manage technical risks, dependencies and blockers, and escalate early to the Engineering Manager.





- Collaborate with product managers, architects, UX designers and QA to translate requirements into technical solutions.

- Mentor engineers, set coding standards, and build a culture of ownership and continuous improvement.

What You’ll Bring:

- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.

- 8+ years of software engineering experience, including at least 2–3 years as a Tech Lead or Solution Architect.

- Proven track record of leading agile teams that deliver enterprise SaaS products or platforms.

- Robust hands-on background in Java/Spring Boot and/or Python, with the ability to review full-stack code.

Mandatory Skills:

- Strong expertise in Java, Spring Boot and microservices architecture, with working knowledge of Python.

- Experience designing RESTful APIs, event-driven integrations and data models for distributed systems.

- Hands-on experience with AWS and/or Azure, Docker and Kubernetes.

- Working knowledge of Angular and TypeScript, enough to review frontend designs and code.

- Experience with SQL and NoSQL databases.

- Solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines, automated testing and release management.

- Experience with Agile/Scrum, backlog refinement and estimation, using tools such as Jira and Confluence.

- Good understanding of secure coding, OAuth2/SSO and role-based access control (RBAC).

- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
