Technical Lead
Job Description
About the Role
We’re scaling Playson’s Promotional Features domain and building the Boosters direction further as part of our growth. This is a hands-on leadership role (80% delivery / 20% team leadership) where you’ll personally build and ship production-ready features and own the technical direction of the Boosters team. Performance, scalability, and reliability are non-negotiable.
Key Responsibilities
- •Own technical decisions and technical part of the products and architecture for Boosters services (hands-on, production-grade).
- •Develop and maintain backend applications for promotional features.
- •Drive delivery as a key contributor: tech design → implement → test → release → operate.
- •Optimize existing systems for performance, scalability, and reliability in a distributed environment.
- •Lead the team execution with a “PoC-first” approach: fast validation → measurable outcomes → production hardening.
- •Conduct code and architectural reviews; set engineering standards and best practices.
- •Be the go-to technical owner: any tech problem in the domain is your problem to solve (with the team).
- •Participate in on-call rotation and continuously improve operability (monitoring, alerting, runbooks, incident reviews).
Requirments
- •Strong proficiency in Node.js and TypeScript (our primary backend stack). We’re also open to strong backend engineers from other ecosystems (e.g., Go, Java, C#, C++) who are ready to ramp up quickly.
- •Strong understanding of asynchronous programming and concurrency patterns.
- •Experience building distributed systems and working with messaging and coordination tools (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ, NATS, distributed locks).
- •Experience with gRPC in production environments.
- •Solid knowledge of databases: relational (MySQL, PostgreSQL), columnar (ClickHouse), and NoSQL (DynamoDB, MongoDB).
- •Experience with cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure) and Kubernetes.
- •Skilled in building and maintaining unit and end-to-end tests.
- •Proven track record of delivering production-ready solutions.
- •Experience working with large-scale microservices architectures.
- •Degree in Computer Science or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
Nice to Have
- •Understanding of application security and industry best practices.
