Engineering Team Lead

Location: India (Delhi, Hybrid)
Experience: 6 – 12+ years

Role Overview

We are hiring an Engineering Team Lead to drive the technical direction, execution excellence, and operational integrity of our COBRA platform.

This role combines hands-on technical leadership with team management and delivery ownership. The platform operates in a highly regulated environment where accuracy, data integrity, compliance, and system reliability are non-negotiable.

You will lead a team responsible for evolving a mission-critical system that supports complex eligibility rules, time-sensitive workflows, and regulatory requirements. Strong logical reasoning, systems thinking, and the ability to translate regulatory complexity into robust technical solutions are essential.

Core Responsibilities

Team Leadership & Execution

Lead, mentor, and grow a team of engineers through structured feedback, coaching, and technical guidance.

Own sprint planning, delivery predictability, and execution quality.

Ensure alignment between engineering priorities and product/regulatory requirements.

Proactively identify risks, technical gaps, and compliance impacts during planning.

Build a culture of accountability, disciplined execution, and high engineering standards.

Architecture & System Design

Own the technical health and long-term evolution of the team’s system.

Drive architectural decisions for new features, refactors, and system improvements.

Ensure architecture supports scalability, reliability, and maintainability goals.

Maintain up-to-date technical documentation and architecture diagrams.

Identify technical debt and prioritize remediation aligned with business impact.

Design, Development & Quality

Contribute hands-on to critical or complex parts of the system.

Lead technical design discussions and ensure robust solution architecture.

Set and enforce engineering standards through code reviews and design reviews.

Ensure high-quality testing strategies and safe release practices.

Balance speed of delivery with long-term system sustainability.

Logical Design & Regulatory System Modeling

Translate complex COBRA rules, timelines, and eligibility requirements into deterministic, auditable system behavior.

Design rule engines and workflows that are predictable, testable, and resilient to edge cases.

Ensure time-bound triggers, notifications, and compliance-sensitive events are implemented with precision.

Apply strong analytical and reasoning skills to identify hidden edge cases and systemic risks.

Scalability, Reliability & Operational Excellence

Ensure systems are designed for fault tolerance, retries, graceful degradation, and observability.

Lead root cause analysis of production incidents and drive permanent systemic fixes.

Improve monitoring, logging, tracing, and alerting for compliance-sensitive workflows.

Establish reliability metrics and operational KPIs aligned with business impact.

Continuously reduce operational overhead and repeat failures.

Security & Compliance

Ensure the platform adheres to HIPAA compliance requirements and internal security standards.

Drive secure coding practices, data encryption (in transit and at rest), and proper access control mechanisms.

Ensure auditability, traceability, and data integrity across distributed services.

Collaborate with security and compliance teams during audits and risk assessments.

Proactively identify and mitigate security vulnerabilities and compliance gaps.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Partner closely with Product, Operations, and Compliance stakeholders.

Communicate technical trade-offs, regulatory risks, and architectural constraints clearly.

Ensure engineering decisions align with business goals and regulatory obligations.

Required Technical Skills

Backend & Distributed Systems

Strong expertise in C# / .NET Core (API design, async patterns, clean architecture, SOLID principles).

Strong SQL expertise (schema design, indexing, query optimization, data consistency).

Proven experience building and operating microservices in production.

Strong understanding of distributed systems concepts (consistency models, retries, idempotency, failure modes).

Experience handling transactional integrity across distributed services.

Architectural Patterns

Experience with CQRS pattern and event-driven architectures (good to have).

Familiarity with message brokers and asynchronous processing models.

Understanding of distributed transactions and compensating transaction patterns (good to have).

Frontend & Cross-Stack

Working knowledge of Angular / TypeScript to review architecture and debug cross-stack issues.

Ability to define robust API contracts and reason about system interactions.

Engineering Practices

Strong discipline in code reviews, testing strategies, and release safety.

Experience with CI/CD pipelines and production troubleshooting.

Comfort debugging live systems using logs, metrics, and traces.

Experience driving engineering process improvements.

Domain Knowledge (Good to Have)

Working knowledge of US COBRA regulations and lifecycle workflows.

Experience building or operating systems in healthcare, benefits administration, or other regulated domains.

Familiarity with HIPAA compliance requirements and data privacy best practices.

Experience & Expectations

6+ years of professional software engineering experience.

2+ years leading or mentoring engineers.

Proven experience delivering scalable production systems in regulated environments preferred.

Strong analytical thinking and structured problem-solving ability.

Demonstrated ability to reason about complex rule-based systems.

Excellent communication skills across technical and business stakeholders.

What Success Looks Like

The COBRA platform handles complex regulatory workflows accurately and predictably.

Compliance-sensitive workflows execute without failure or ambiguity.

Security and audit requirements are consistently met.

Production incidents decline in both frequency and severity.

Architecture evolves deliberately with scalability and compliance in mind.

The team demonstrates strong ownership, technical rigor, and operational discipline.
