About the Role

At Madlan, we are redefining the real estate industry through data, transparency, and technology. We are looking for a Senior Tech Lead to serve as the technological compass of the department and act as a strategic right hand to the VP R&D.

This is a 100% hands-on role combining critical core coding, architectural leadership, intensive mentorship, and driving an AI-First mindset across the engineering culture. Your goal goes beyond shipping features—it is about building and cultivating a sharp, autonomous, and high-performing engineering team.

What You'll Do

Architecture & Code (Hands-on): Lead end-to-end architecture (Backend & Frontend), take ownership of the stack, databases, and repositories, and write complex core system components.

Product-to-Tech Translation: Deconstruct complex product requirements into clear, precise, and actionable technical breakdowns for developers.

Mentorship & Engineering Excellence: Empower and develop team members, conduct rigorous code reviews, run engineering post-mortems (lessons learned), and build a culture of continuous knowledge sharing.

Agile & Delivery: Drive technical task decomposition, set realistic estimations, and execute stable, predictable sprint deliveries.

Requirements

What We’re Looking For

7+ years of software development experience, including a proven track record as a Tech Lead / Staff Engineer with strong Full-Stack architecture expertise (with heavy depth in Backend).

Database Expertise: Deep understanding of database design, optimization, and management across both SQL and NoSQL environments.

Strong Mentorship: Proven capability to grow engineers, share knowledge, and establish high engineering standards.

Agile Mastery: Ability to turn complex demands into well-defined tasks and maintain a fast, reliable delivery pace.

Nice-to-Have

AI Experience: Hands-on work with LLMs and AI tools integrated into products or dev-workflow automation.
