Tech Lead (Backend)

📋 Description

• • Own the end-to-end architecture of Stable Money’s core backend platform, translating complex fixed-income investment logic into elegant, low-latency micro-services that serve millions of retail investors across India.
• • Design and implement horizontally-scalable, fault-tolerant distributed systems in Go and/or Java that handle high-throughput financial transactions, real-time portfolio rebalancing and regulatory reporting without missing a beat.
• • Champion cloud-native best practices on AWS—leveraging ECS/Fargate, DynamoDB, SQS/SNS, Lambda and Step Functions—to guarantee 99.9 % uptime and sub-second response times even during market volatility spikes.
• • Build and continuously refine a robust observability stack using Prometheus, Loki, Grafana and distributed tracing so that every latency spike, memory leak or failed payment is caught, triaged and resolved before clients notice.
• • Establish bullet-proof CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Argo CD, Terraform) that enable multiple daily releases with zero-downtime blue-green deployments and automated rollback on anomaly detection.
• • Collaborate daily with product managers, data scientists and compliance officers to translate nuanced fixed-income regulations into clean APIs, ensuring every rupee invested is tracked, reconciled and reported to SEBI standards.
• • Act as the technical mentor for a growing team of backend and platform engineers—conducting architecture reviews, pair-programming sessions and brown-bag talks that level-up the entire engineering org.
• • Drive the 0-to-1 journey: from whiteboard sketches to production-grade services, you’ll make foundational technology choices that will power India’s most trusted wealth-tech platform for the next decade.
• • Optimize data pipelines that ingest millions of bond prices, FD rates and RBI policy updates nightly, turning raw market feeds into actionable analytics that power personalized fixed-income portfolios.
• • Lead incident response and post-mortems, fostering a culture of blameless learning and rapid iteration that keeps our promise of risk reduction and predictable returns sacrosanct.
• • Evaluate and integrate third-party fintech APIs (KYC, payment gateways, credit bureaus) while ensuring PCI-DSS compliance and airtight data encryption at rest and in transit.
• • Contribute to open-source projects and internal SDKs that allow other teams to build on top of your services with confidence and speed.
• • Work directly with the founders—ex-IIT, ex-Swiggy, ex-Navi leaders—who value flat hierarchies, candid feedback loops and data-driven decision making.
• • Shape the engineering roadmap for Series C scale, including multi-region disaster recovery, advanced fraud detection and AI-driven portfolio optimization engines.
