About the Role We are seeking a highly skilled and hands-on full-stack development lead to own the design, development and delivery of client implementations on our AI-driven platform. Our software goes live inside banks, NBFCs and financial institutions, and every go-live is a project with a client on the other side of it.

As a technical leader you will drive engineering excellence, mentor junior developers, and champion AI-assisted development practices while remaining hands-on in the code. 02 Key Responsibilities 1 Lead technical design and delivery Architecture and implementation of client-facing implementations, end to end from design through deployment and production handover. 2 Build scalable services Microservices and distributed systems in Python — or Java or Go where it earns its place. 3 Own the full stack Backend services plus the frontend the client actually uses — React / Next.js, Type Script, responsive delivery. 4 Mentor the team Code reviews, pair programming, design discussions and raising engineering practice for three to six engineers. 5 Integrate AI into delivery Work with the AI/ML function to embed LLMs, agents and AI-powered services into client applications. 6 Design the interfaces Scalable REST APIs, event-driven systems and asynchronous messaging against bank and NBFC systems. 7 Own scope and go-live Estimate, commit, raise risk early; cutover planning, hypercare and a real handover to production support. 8 Champion AI-assisted development Use and set the standard for Claude Code, Copilot and Cursor in day-to-day engineering. 9 Feed the product Decide what a client asked for that belongs in the product, and route it there instead of forking. 03 What You Bring 8–10 years building and delivering software, including 2+ years leading a squad through production go-live. Strong proficiency in Python; Java or Go additionally is welcome. Fast API and async service design in production. Microservices, REST APIs and distributed systems you have designed, not just worked in. Hands-on full-stack capability — React / Next.js and Type Script; Node.js and the MERN stack is relevant experience. Strong Postgre SQL — schema design, query tuning, migrations; plus caching (Redis) and messaging. Working knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS preferred), Docker, Kubernetes and CI/CD. Client-facing ownership: scope, estimate, escalation and the difficult conversation about a date. Integration experience against banking or financial systems, including sandbox and approval realities. Familiarity with AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Git Hub Copilot, Cursor) as part of how you work. 04 What Would Be Great to Have Exposure to LLMs, AI agents, RAG or MCP, or prior AI-platform development. Infrastructure as code — Terraform or Ansible — and a working understanding of networking. On-premise deployment at client data centres. Lending, payments, collections or onboarding domain depth. Pre-sales and solution-estimation support. Experience of the forward-deployed engineer model. Sound like you? Send your CV to careers@newstreettech.com .
