AI CERTs Tech Lead

Role Overview

Were looking for a Tech Lead to own the architecture and engineering direction of the product platform while leading the team that builds and maintains it. This role combines deep technical ownership — architecture, code quality, system design — with people leadership and client-facing technical communication, as we strengthen our in-house engineering capability.

Responsibilities

• Own the technical architecture of the product LMS platform (Moodle-based and custom)
• Design and evolve backend services using Node.js, PHP, or Python, and frontend using React.js
• Define and evolve microservices and REST API architecture
• Own Azure infrastructure design and management
• Design and maintain database architecture (MySQL/PostgreSQL)
• Implement and maintain SSO and authentication standards (OAuth 2.0, SAML, JWT)
• Lead integrations with a wide range of third-party and enterprise systems (LTI tools, CRM, payment gateways, analytics platforms, and other partner systems)
• Own CI/CD pipelines and containerization for the platform
• Drive system design decisions for scalability and reliability
• Lead code reviews and set engineering standards across the team
• Own technical documentation and manage vendor handover processes
• Serve as the primary technical point of contact for client-facing discussions, translating business and partner requirements into technical solutions
• Manage, mentor, and grow a team of engineers, including performance and career development
• Own cost and vendor-spend decisions for the platform, evaluating build-vs-buy trade-offs to reduce reliance on paid third-party tools

• Bachelors degree in Computer Science or related field; equivalent practical experience is welcome.
