Fullstack Python Lead Engineer (IRC298467)

Job Description

• End-to-End Project Ownership: 2+ years of continuous experience on a single relevant project, guiding it through the entire lifecycle - from initial concept and deployment to production support and maintenance.
• Tech Lead Experience: Proven track record in a Tech Lead or Team Lead role, with experience mentoring developers and establishing engineering best practices.
• Python & Django Expertise: Extensive professional software development experience with deep, hands-on mastery of Python and the Django framework.
• AWS Competency: Practical familiarity with AWS infrastructure and core services, particularly serverless and messaging components (Lambda, SNS, SQS).
• Frontend Oversight Capability: A solid conceptual understanding of any modern JavaScript framework (such as Vue, React, or Angular) - enough to assess tasks, manage delivery, and unblock engineers. Deep frontend development expertise is not required.
• Infrastructure Basics: Practical familiarity with Docker and CI/CD pipelines to support platform migration initiatives.

Job Responsibilities

• Technical Leadership: Act as the Tech Lead for the engineering bench, driving code reviews and setting a high quality bar for overall team delivery.
• Backend Development: Take ownership of core backend services using Python and Django within a multi-region SaaS architecture.
• Infrastructure & Cloud: Work with AWS services (Lambda, SNS, SQS) to support application workflows and assist with the ongoing Kubernetes (K8s) migration.
• Frontend Oversight: Effectively manage and distribute tasks across the frontend scope (built on Vue.js), focusing on high-level architecture and task delivery rather than hands-on frontend development.

Department/Project Description

GlobalLogic is seeking a Fullstack Lead Engineer to step into a Tech Lead role for our engineering bench, supporting a sophisticated, regulated medical technology platform. This position is ideal for a seasoned backend-heavy leader with deep expertise in Python and Django, a solid understanding of AWS, and the ability to oversee a cross-functional engineering team.

As a Lead Engineer, you will set the quality bar for the team, drive code reviews, and ensure the operational excellence of the platform. While your hands-on focus will be primarily on scaling and maintaining our Python/Django services and AWS infrastructure, you will also oversee the frontend scope. You don't need to be a Vue.js expert - your role is to understand modern frontend architectures well enough to effectively delegate, manage, and unblock the frontend workload. Additionally, you will support strategic platform evolutions, including an upcoming Kubernetes migration.
