Description
[Products] : Team Lead - PHP Full Stack
Location: Noida
Department: LAMP - Core/Framework
Experience: 12 to 16 Years
About the Role
We are looking for a seasoned Team Lead with 12+ years of experience in building, scaling, and leading technology solutions for product-based organizations. This is a hands-on technical leadership role — you will be responsible for defining architecture, driving scalability, and guiding engineering excellence across the product lifecycle. Unlike an Engineering Manager, this role emphasizes technical depth over people management. You will collaborate with product managers and stakeholders on strategy but stay deeply involved in coding standards, design reviews, and solving complex technical challenges.
Key Responsibilities
Technical Strategy & Ownership
Define and own the technical architecture for scalable, secure, and high-performing products.
Drive long-term technical vision and ensure alignment with product and business goals.
Evaluate and adopt emerging technologies, frameworks, and best practices.
Ensure sustainable engineering practices and manage technical debt proactively.
Product Engineering Leadership
Lead the technical design and end-to-end development of critical product features.
Ensure architecture supports multi-tenancy, high availability, and global adoption.
Drive modernization initiatives: microservices, APIs, cloud-native, and DevOps-first practices.
Collaborate with Product Management to shape backlog priorities and release readiness.
Team Leadership & Mentorship
Mentor senior & junior engineers and act as the go-to technical authority for the team.
Conduct code reviews, design sessions, and technical workshops.
Foster a culture of innovation, continuous learning, and technical excellence.
Operational Excellence
Implement engineering best practices: CI/CD pipelines, automation, observability.
Embed SRE practices to improve system resilience and performance.
Ensure compliance with security, governance, and data privacy standards.
Required Skills & Qualifications
15+ years of experience in software engineering, with at least 5+ years leading technical teams in product companies.
Proven expertise in designing and scaling cloud-native, distributed architectures.
Hands-on proficiency in Laravel, and JS based frameworks such as NodeJS, VueJS/ReactJS/NextJS/Nuxt
Strong knowledge of AWS, Azure, or GCP, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and microservices.
Experience building SaaS platforms/products with global scale and adoption.
Strong grasp of system design principles (event-driven, API-first, DDD).
Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.
Preferred Skills
Experience scaling SaaS products to millions of active users.
Exposure to AI/ML, real-time data platforms, or advanced analytics.
Familiarity with SRE, FinOps, and performance engineering practices.
Knowledge of compliance frameworks (SOC2, ISO, GDPR).
Important Note: Role Differentiation
This is not an Engineering Manager role. While you will mentor and guide engineers, the primary expectation is to:
Stay deeply hands-on with architecture and technology.
Lead by technical expertise and innovation, not by people management alone.
Be accountable for system performance, scalability, and technical vision, while delivery ownership lies with project/engineering managers.
