We are seeking a highly skilled Full Stack Technical Lead to spearhead the delivery of critical network software solutions. The ideal candidate will have deep technical expertise in both frontend and backend development, strong leadership capabilities, and experience operating within fast-paced telecom environments.

As a Tech Lead, the candidate will not only guide the technical architecture and development but also take ownership of project delivery, team performance, and stakeholder alignment. This role requires a hands-on leader who can balance technical depth with people and process leadership.

Responsibilities

Leadership & Delivery

• Lead the end-to-end delivery of full stack solutions, including backend microservices, APIs, and frontend user interfaces, ensuring they meet telecom-grade quality, scalability, and security standards.

• Design, architect, and develop RESTful APIs and backend components primarily using Python (FastAPI) and Java, ensuring reliability and high performance in network environments.

• Oversee frontend development using modern frameworks (e.g., React, Angular), ensuring a seamless user experience for network management tools and dashboards.

• Drive the implementation of CI/CD pipelines and automated deployment processes to accelerate delivery cycles and minimize downtime.

• Implement and promote automated testing (unit, integration, end-to-end) strategies to ensure robustness of telecom software.

• Integrate and utilize BPMN workflow engines such as Camunda or equivalent tools to design and manage business process workflows within network applications.

• Design and implement event-driven architectures using technologies like Apache Kafka for real-time data streaming and asynchronous communication across network services.

• Ensure comprehensive system observability with logging, monitoring, and alerting tailored for network operations.

• Own code quality, performance optimization, and technical documentation for all delivered solutions.

Team Management

• Lead and mentor a multidisciplinary team of full stack developers, fostering continuous improvement, collaboration, and accountability.

• Conduct regular 1:1 meetings, performance reviews, and provide constructive feedback to support team members' career growth.

• Plan and coordinate sprints, task allocation, and workload balancing to maximize team productivity.

• Encourage a culture of ownership, innovation, and knowledge sharing within the team.

Cross-functional Collaboration

• Collaborate closely with network architects, product managers, QA, DevOps, and operations teams to translate complex telecom business needs into scalable technical solutions.

• Act as the primary technical liaison for backend and full stack deliverables, managing expectations and communicating project status to senior stakeholders.

• Facilitate risk management, issue resolution, and continuous process improvements in software delivery aligned with telecom operational standards.

Requirements

Required Skills & Experience

• Technical Proficiency:

  • Strong experience with Java and Python (FastAPI) for backend development in large-scale, distributed systems.

  • Expertise in designing and implementing RESTful APIs and microservices architectures.

  • Proficient with modern frontend frameworks like React, Angular, or for building network management dashboards and tools.

  • Deep understanding of CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, CircleCI) and automated deployment in production environments.

  • Hands-on experience with automation testing frameworks and practices (unit, integration, e2e tests).

  • Experience with containerization and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes.

  • Familiarity with workflow automation and BPMN tools such as Camunda, Activiti, or similar.

  • Solid knowledge of event streaming platforms like Apache Kafka for building event-driven systems and real-time data pipelines.

  • Experience with network protocols and telecom technologies (e.g., SNMP, NETCONF, RESTCONF, 5G, LTE) is highly desirable.

  • Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and hybrid cloud networking solutions.

• Leadership & Delivery:

  • Proven track record of leading software development teams in delivering complex, high-quality solutions on time.

  • Strong experience in Agile methodologies (Scrum/Kanban), sprint planning, and team facilitation.

  • Excellent problem-solving, decision-making, and risk management skills.

  • Ability to work under pressure in a fast-paced telecom environment while maintaining a focus on quality and reliability.

• Communication:

  • Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, capable of explaining complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
