The Role

As a Lead Engineer, you will play a dual role of execution and leadership. You will drive the technical direction of your team, make strategic decisions, and ensure alignment with business goals.

• Collaborate to build the technical roadmap and support your team in executing it.

• Lead major technical decisions, set standards, and ensure alignment with business objectives.

• Guide, mentor, and support engineers in their technical growth.

• Combine strategic vision with hands-on execution when needed.

Cross-Team Collaboration & Communication

We need you to have:

• 5+ years of experience in back-end development with strong proficiency in software engineering principles.

• Solid experience with Java and Spring.

• Strong knowledge of databases, including SQL, data modeling, and query optimization.

• Familiarity with DevOps practices such as CI/CD, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).

• Hands-on experience with testing (unit, integration).

• Deep understanding of system design and architecture (design patterns, microservices).

• Proven ability to design and implement scalable, reliable, and maintainable systems, with a focus on long-term quality.

• Be ready, after some time, to participate in the on-call rotation.

• Knowledge and practical experience with secure coding practices and protection against common vulnerabilities.

• Previous experience working with financial systems or billing platforms.

Interpersonal skills:

• Problem-solving – ability to identify issues, evaluate options, and implement effective solutions.

• Communication – strong skills in collaborating with teammates and stakeholders; able to translate complex technical concepts into clear language for non-technical audiences.

• Teamwork – works well within a team, actively contributes to a positive and supportive culture.

• Adaptability & learning – open to learning new technologies and adjusting to evolving requirements.

• Proactivity & ownership – takes initiative, raises challenges early, and drives progress toward team goals with accountability.
