Tech Lead (Hybrid)

Your Mission

Be the squad's primary technical reference, connecting product strategy and execution. You ensure solutions are scalable, resilient, and developed with excellence, guiding the team, making essential architectural decisions, and maintaining technical quality at all stages of the development cycle.

Furthermore, you will be a key player in adopting artificial intelligence as a tool for productivity and quality, integrating AI agents into the development cycle, from automated code reviews to architectural analyses, observability, and task management.

What You Will Do Day-to-Day

• Provide technical leadership for the squad, guiding architectural decisions and designing solutions based on microservices.
• Work side-by-side with the Product Owner on refining and planning features, ensuring technical feasibility, clarity, and solid estimates.
• Mentor team engineers through code reviews, pair programming, and continuous feedback to elevate the team's technical level.
• Work hands-on developing critical features and solving complex problems with Java 21 and Spring Boot.
• Ensure DevOps best practices, from CI/CD with GitHub Actions to observability and operation of applications in Kubernetes.
• Contribute to the evolution of the architecture, always seeking performance, security, and resilience.
• Use and evolve AI agents (such as Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and LLM-based tools) as part of the development flow, including automated code reviews, log analysis, code generation, and technical decision-making.
• Integrate and configure tools via Model Context Protocol (MCP), connecting the development environment to platforms like GitHub, Datadog, and project management tools to automate workflows.
• Promote a culture of AI-augmented development within the team, defining rules, skills, and best practices for consistent and productive use of AI in the engineering daily routine.

What We Look for in Your Profile

More than just meeting technical requirements, we want someone who connects with the team's vision, brings technical maturity, systemic thinking, and a desire to build robust solutions that support growth, scale, and high availability. We seek someone who sees artificial intelligence not as a replacement, but as an amplification of technical capability; someone who knows how to use AI agents to accelerate deliveries, elevate code quality, and make more informed decisions. We want someone who wants to grow with the team and drive product quality through best practices, collaboration, and leadership.

Mandatory Requirements

• Solid experience as a Senior Backend Developer or Tech Lead.
• Mastery of Java 21 and the Spring Boot ecosystem.
• Strong culture of automated testing with JUnit and TDD practice.
• Experience with NoSQL databases, especially MongoDB, and using cache with Redis.
• Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and containerization/orchestration practices.
• Knowledge of Spring Gateway and API security.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted development tools (Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or similar) and willingness to actively incorporate them into the workflow.

What Can Make You Stand Out Even More

• Experience in SaaS or low-code platforms.
• Deep knowledge in modeling complex domains using DDD.
• Proven track record in high-scale and resilience projects.
• Practical experience integrating LLMs into applications (OpenAI, Anthropic APIs, or similar).
• Experience with Model Context Protocol (MCP) or automations that connect AI agents to development, observability, and management tools.
• Experience creating prompts, rules, or reusable workflows to standardize the use of AI within engineering teams.
• Knowledge in AI-augmented software engineering — using AI for code review, architectural analysis, test generation, or incident investigation.
