Job Description: Tech Lead – Full Stack (AI-First Mindset)
Location: [Hybrid/Remote – India]
Experience: 7–12+ years
Role Type: Full-time
About the Role
As a Tech Lead (AI-First), you will lead technical execution across full-stack
applications while actively contributing to architecture, coding, and delivery. You will
guide engineers, drive best practices, and integrate AI-driven capabilities across the
development lifecycle — from automation to smart features inside the product.
This role is 80% hands-on, with strong leadership responsibility.
Key Responsibilities
Technical Leadership
• Lead technical design, architecture decisions, and development workflows
across frontend and backend systems.
• Provide direction on frameworks, patterns, code quality, and performance
optimization.
• Mentor engineers, perform code reviews, and ensure engineering best practices.
• Evaluate new AI tools, frameworks, and libraries for integration into the project.
AI-First Engineering
• Apply AI tools and LLMs to improve developer productivity (code generation,
testing, documentation, automation).
• Design systems that can support future AI/ML capabilities (API orchestration,
extensible data models, scalable services).
• Partner with AI/ML engineers to embed models into full-stack applications.
Full-Stack Development (Hands-On)
• Build scalable applications using:
o Frontend: React.js, Angular
o Backend: Node.js, Express.js, NestJS
• Design and develop RESTful APIs, microservices, and backend logic.
• Build reusable UI components, dashboards, and interactive interfaces.
• Implement secure, optimized, and maintainable code across the stack.
Architecture & System Design
• Contribute to high-level architecture: microservices, API gateways, event-driven
systems, and cloud-native design.
• Ensure scalability, reliability, security, and performance benchmarks are met.
• Work with DevOps to strengthen CI/CD pipelines and automation.
Collaboration & Delivery
• Work closely with Product Managers, Designers, DevOps, QA, and AI teams to
build robust product increments.
• Break down engineering tasks, provide estimates, and ensure predictable
delivery.
• Communicate technical decisions, risks, and timelines clearly to stakeholders.
Qualifications
Must Have
• 7–12+ years of software development experience with strong full-stack
expertise.
• Deep hands-on skills in:
o React.js
o Angular
o Node.js
o Express.js
o NestJS
• Strong understanding of microservices, API design, and distributed systems.
• Proven experience leading technical projects or small teams.
• Experience integrating AI/LLM-based features OR willingness + capability to
adopt AI-first tools.
Good to Have
• Experience with TypeScript, RxJS, and modern frontend architecture.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP).
• Experience with vector DBs, LangChain, or integrating AI APIs.
• Knowledge of DevOps practices and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
