Principal Tech Lead (Backend oriented) - Similarweb

Architectural Governance: Own the end-to-end design, scalability, and performance of complex backend distributed systems. Ensure architectures are resilient, modular, and optimized for intensive data workloads. Agentic Engineering Innovation: Champion and embed Agentic SDLC paradigms, tools and solutions into the engineering lifecycle. Design frameworks that enable autonomous AI agents to build, test, and deploy features end-to-end, while enforcing rigorous quality gates and deterministic production guardrails. Cross-Project Orchestration: Maintain an exceptionally large context window to actively guide and facilitate multiple highly technical streams and parallel projects simultaneously without losing focus or delivery speed. Guild Leadership & Mentorship: Act as the primary technical sounding board for the engineering community. Lead backend guild sessions, introduce emerging technologies, and actively mentor senior and staff engineers to elevate the group's collective capabilities. High-Velocity Execution: Lead by example. When taking on critical path, hands-on tasks, execute with unmatched speed and quality, demonstrating what peak operational efficiency looks like. Seasoned Architect: Proven track record of designing and scaling complex, large-scale distributed production systems under heavy load. Deep-Dive Problem Solver: Innate curiosity and technical depth that makes you the go-to expert with whom peers across the organization want to collaborate and bounce architectural ideas. AI & Agentic Pioneer: Deep, practical familiarity with Agentic Engineering concepts, tools, LLM APIs, orchestration frameworks, and prompt-to-production paradigms. Natural Mentor: Passionate about cultivating talent, active community engagement, and driving internal knowledge-sharing frameworks.
