Polyglot Full Stack Developer (Lead) Experience
Pune, India (GCC) — on-site / hybrid as applicable
8–10 years Team Leadership
Must have led a team of 5–6 developers Employment Type
About the Role
We are looking for an experienced, versatile Full Stack Developer to lead a small engineering team and drive delivery across multiple technology stacks. This is a hands-on technical leadership role for someone who is equally comfortable writing production code, architecting systems, and mentoring a team — and who thrives on picking up new tools and technologies as project needs evolve, rather than sticking to a single fixed stack.
Key Responsibilities
•Design, develop, and maintain full stack applications spanning backend services, frontend interfaces, and data layers.
•Lead and mentor a team of 5–6 developers — assigning work, conducting code reviews, unblocking issues, and owning delivery quality and timelines.
•Own system design and architecture decisions for new features and services, balancing scalability, performance, security, and maintainability.
•Build and maintain backend services in Java and Python, and frontend applications using React JS.
•Apply AI/ML concepts and tools where relevant to enhance product features or internal tooling.
•Containerize applications with Docker and support deployment on cloud infrastructure (AWS/Azure/GCP).
•Design efficient, well-structured SQL schemas and queries; optimize database performance.
•Drive engineering best practices: Git workflows, code review standards, CI/CD, testing, and documentation.
•Collaborate with product managers, architects, and other stakeholders to translate requirements into technical solutions.
•Evaluate and rapidly adopt new tools, frameworks, or languages as project requirements demand.
•Participate in technical planning, estimation, and risk identification for projects across the portfolio.
Required Skills & Experience
•8–10 years of overall software development experience, with demonstrated full stack delivery.
•Proven experience leading a team of 5–6 developers, including mentoring, code review, and delivery ownership.
•Strong hands-on expertise in Java for backend development.
•Strong hands-on expertise in React JS for frontend development.
•Working proficiency in Python.
•Working knowledge of AI/ML concepts, tools, or frameworks (e.g., applied ML, LLM integration, or data science fundamentals).
•Practical experience with Docker for containerization.
•Solid working knowledge of at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
•Strong SQL skills — schema design, query optimization, and performance tuning.
•Demonstrated ability to design scalable, maintainable systems (system design fundamentals: caching, load balancing, microservices, API design, etc.).
•Proficiency with Git and standard branching/collaboration workflows.
•Expert, daily use of AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude, Cursor) to accelerate coding, debugging, and code review.
•A polyglot mindset — genuine willingness and ability to pick up new technologies, languages, or frameworks as project requirements dictate.
Preferred / Nice to Have
•Exposure to CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices.
•Experience working in a distributed or GCC (Global Capability Center) setup supporting multiple business units or product lines.
•Familiarity with Agile/Scrum delivery practices.
•Prior experience modernizing or rebuilding legacy platforms.
What We're Looking For
Beyond the technical checklist, we want someone who is curious, adaptable, and comfortable operating across ambiguity — a developer-leader who can go deep on any layer of the stack, guide a small team effectively, and is energized rather than daunted by switching technologies when a project calls for it.
Please note that we do not accept unsolicited resumes, work on a Corp-to-Corp basis, or engage with non-vetted external agencies.
