Backend Team Leader

We are looking for a sharp, experienced, and forward-thinking Backend Team Leader to lead a global development team. In this role, you arent just a manager; you are a technical navigator and process owner. You will lead a high-performing team of Backend / Full Stack Engineers, mainly Node.js(& React) to deliver scalable, high-quality infrastructure and integrations.

You will be responsible for the teams successful execution at the sprint level, ensuring that we don't just "deliver code," but build robust, AI-enhanced systems efficiently and with uncompromising quality.

What Youll Be Doing

 Leadership & Sprint Execution

Ownership: Lead the teams execution across several workstreams, ensuring high-quality delivery within every sprint.
Strategic Planning: Own the Sprint Planning process
Coordination: Act as the primary bridge between your team and other departments to remove blockers and support cross-team dependencies.
Growth & Velocity: Continuously improve team velocity and individual capabilities through coaching, mentoring, and identifying skill gaps.
Technical Excellence & Design

Robust Architecture: Own the technical design of team features, ensuring they are scalable, reliable, and "clean."
Hands-on Contribution: Lead by example by participating in high-scale, cloud-based development (AWS, MongoDB) and conducting rigorous code reviews.
Product Collaboration: Work closely with Product Managers to shape features from initial concept through to production.
AI-First & Performance Mentality

AI-First Mentality: Integrate AI tools and workflows into the daily development lifecycle (e.g., AI-assisted coding, automated testing, and prompt-driven prototyping) to act as a force multiplier for the team.
Efficiency & Quality: Drive a "Get Things Done" culture where speed does not sacrifice stability. You are responsible for ensuring the team uses the best modern tools to work smarter, not harder.
