ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for a Tech Lead to guide a squad building backend services in Java and Spring Boot, with an Angular frontend.

- Lead the transition from traditional database-centric designs toward a domain-driven structure (DDD), ensuring strong domain bounded contexts.

- Architect RESTful APIs that prioritize proper verbs and clean, scalable patterns over legacy RPC styles.

- Utilize a strong understanding of agile and software development practices to motivate the team, engage junior developers, mentor them, and help them grow.

- Demonstrate the ability to confidently push back and say 'no' to power (be it AI or human) when advocating for best practices and architectural integrity.
