About the role:
We are looking for a Tech Lead for the Gold Tech team to drive technical direction, architecture, and delivery of Paytm Digital Gold — a high-scale bullion platform serving consumer and merchant use cases at lakhs+ rpm.

● Mentor and grow engineers (SSE and below); conduct reviews, pair on complex problems, and build team capability.
● Contribute hands-on to critical modules; unblock the team on complex bugs, performance issues, and production fires.
● Represent Gold Tech in architecture reviews, tech debt prioritization, and platform-wide initiatives.
Skills Required:
● MS or BS/B.Tech in Computer Science or equivalent experience from a top college.
● 6–10 years of backend engineering experience, with 2+ years in a tech lead / senior IC role.
● Deep expertise in Java (J2EE/Spring Boot) and/or Node.js at scale; ability to lead across a polyglot stack.
● Strong proficiency in Spring Boot, Hibernate/JPA, REST API design, and/or Node.js/Express production systems.
● Expert-level knowledge of MySQL and distributed data stores (Redis, Cassandra, Aerospike, Elasticsearch).
● Hands-on experience with Kafka, message-driven architecture, and Apache Storm or similar large-scale data processing.
● Proven track record of building high-traffic, fault-tolerant financial or transactional systems.
● Strong system design skills — capacity planning, failure modes, idempotency, saga/compensation patterns, caching strategy.
● Excellent data structures, algorithms, and problem-solving skills.
● Strong communication and stakeholder management — can align Product, Engineering, and Operations.
● Customer-focused, thrives in ambiguity, leads by example in a fast-paced, high-ownership environment.
Good to Have:
● Experience leading teams in fintech, payments, wealth management, or bullion domains.
● Familiarity with Quartz scheduling, Spring State Machine, Resilience4j, Debezium CDC.
● Experience with multi-tenant / partner-gold architectures and external API integrations.
