Responsibilities

  • Design and architect scalable, high-impact solutions for large and complex projects.
  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to prioritise and execute on the highest ROI projects and deliver at aggressive timelines.
  • Provide technical leadership and mentorship to senior and junior engineers.
  • Drive strategic technical decisions and architecture reviews that influence cross-team initiatives and long-term product vision.
  • Champion the adoption and integration of AI to enhance development workflows, automate routine tasks, and innovate product capabilities.
  • Maintain high standards of code quality, reviews, technical feedback, and documentation.
  • Maintain peak team productivity by juggling multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
  • Why Join Instawork?
  • Everyone at Instawork works across the stack. You'll have the opportunity to work on backend systems at scale, build frontend user experiences, and collaborate with Product & Business to make the product meaningful.
  • We work hard and we work fast. We err on the side of being bold and embrace + celebrate failure, because we'd rather make bets on great features at the expense of shipping some bad ones.
  • You will be at the forefront of AI adoption in software development and product innovation. We encourage everyone to learn and harness AI's potential to drive personal and professional growth.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of experience building and shipping scalable web and mobile applications with a strong full-stack background.
  • Proven expertise in system design, distributed systems, and modern software architecture with the ability to deliver in a fast-paced environment.
  • While experience with our stack (Python/Django, Celery, MySQL, Redis, ElasticSearch, React, React Native) is preferred, it's not mandatory.
  • Strong communication & collaboration with product and design teams to create user-centric and technically sound products.
  • Passionate about AI and its potential to transform software development and products with AI integration, automation, or tooling. Hands-on experience is a strong plus.
  • Experience mentoring and providing technical guidance to others
