I am software engineer with 6 years of experience. I have majorly work with NodeJS, Golang and Python. I have experience in building distributed and event driven systems from scratch. I grew most professionally in my current company Hinge Health where I had the role of Senior Software Engineer. I led major projects like building in-app messaging feature from scratch, building a rule engine for streamling company processes and led a team of 6 for optimizing latency in all company APIs. Major projects: * **In-app Messaging (Company: Hinge Health):** Built in-app messaging feature to replace existing SMS feature for Hinge Health. Worked as backend tech lead and was responsible for designing and building a distributed architecture for in-app messaging for our physical therapists to connect with our clients which earlier done through SMSs. We used Apache Kafka, PostgreSQL and Celery. We wrote our microservices with NodeJS (NestJS) and Python. We used Kubernetes for orchestration of our pods. * **Workflows Rule Engine (Company: Hinge Health):** Headed this project to streamline company processes for physical therapists who provide services like recommending exercises, and video visits. The rule engine helps our physical therapists to build custom workflows and programs for our patients. This project reduced average wait times from 1 week to 3 days. We built this rule engine using PostgreSQL, Apache Kafka, NodeJS (NestJS) and Kubernetes. * **Search Module (company: Xoxoday)**: Built information search and retrival system for our client dashboard and analytics system. This module works on top of ElasticSearch. We built data pipelines which asychronously syncs company wide data to ElasticSearch. We also provided APIs for complex search and query. This project reduced latency of our search APIs from 1.3s to 800ms. We used ElasticSearch, NodeJS, PostgreSQL, MongoDB and Apache Spark. * **Compass rule Engine (company Xoxoday):** Worked on SQL based rule engine to build custom incentive management program for our clients. Designed module to convert variables built on our dashboard to SQL statements which will be computed on Apache Spark. Primary Technologies used: Apache Spark, NodeJS, Celery, Apache Kafka, PostgreSQL. * **Built library for hash joins (company: Azavista):** While I was working in Azavista, we faced a problem of joining data from microservices with independent databases. We needed a way to join data retrieved between microservices without writing custom code for every process. So I was tasked with developing a generalised library which would perform hash joins to combine data from different sources efficiently.

FAQs
Why hire a tech lead?
In today’s world, most companies have code-based needs that require developers to help build and maintain. For instance, if your business has a website or an app, you’ll need to keep it updated to ensure you continue to provide positive user experiences. At times, you may even need to revamp your website or app. This is where hiring a developer becomes crucial.
Depending on the stage and scale of your product and services, you may need to hire a tech lead, multiple engineers, or even a full remote developer team to help keep your business running. If you’re a startup or a company running a website, your product will likely grow out of its original skeletal structure. Hiring full-time remote tech leads can help keep your website up-to-date.

General platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, and Gigster offer a variety of non-vetted talents unlimited to developers. While you can find tech leads on general platforms, top tech talents generally avoid general marketplaces in order to escape bidding wars.
If you’re looking to hire the best remote tech leads, consider niche platforms like Arc that naturally attract and carefully vet their tech leads for hire. This way, you’ll save time and related hiring costs by only interviewing the most suitable remote tech leads.
Some factors to consider when you hire tech leads include the platform’s specialty, developer’s geographical location, and the service’s customer support. Depending on your hiring budget, you may also want to compare the pricing and fee structure.
Make sure to list out all of the important factors when you compare and decide on which remote developer job board and platform to use to find tech leads for hire.
How do I write a tech lead job description?
Writing a good tech lead job description is crucial in helping you hire tech leads that your company needs. A job description’s key elements include a clear job title, a brief company overview, a summary of the role, the required duties and responsibilities, and necessary and preferred experience. To attract top talent, it's also helpful to list other perks and benefits, such as flexible hours and health coverage.
Crafting a compelling job title is critical as it's the first thing that job seekers see. It should offer enough information to grab their attention and include details on the seniority level, type, and area or sub-field of the position.
Your company description should succinctly outline what makes your company unique to compete with other potential employers. The role summary for your remote tech lead should be concise and read like an elevator pitch for the position, while the duties and responsibilities should be outlined using bullet points that cover daily activities, tech stacks, tools, and processes used.
