Valitana is seeking a Senior Full-Stack Technical Lead (backend-focused) to help accelerate technology and business growth within a Fin Tech, client-facing environment. This role is suited for a hands‑on senior engineer and technical leader with strong system‑design instincts for data‑intensive applications, who thrives in a fast‑paced, collaborative setting and takes ownership of delivering reliable, scalable, and secure software solutions. The ideal candidate combines deep hands‑on technical expertise with the ability to lead, mentor, and influence other developers, while maintaining a strong product- and client-oriented mindset.

This individual will play a key role in shaping both the platform and the people building it.

• Contribute hands‑on to data‑intensive, client‑facing Fin Tech applications with a focus on scalability, performance, security, and correctness.
• Own technical design and delivery for a defined domain or service area end‑to‑end—from design and implementation through production support.
• Guide system and API design within your domain, ensuring delivery meets both functional and non‑functional requirements (performance, reliability, security).
• Lead technical execution for client‑facing initiatives within your domain, partnering closely with product, business, and client stakeholders to translate requirements into robust, maintainable solutions.
• Provide day‑to‑day technical guidance to developers, including code reviews, mentorship, onboarding new engineers, and continuously raising the technical bar.
• Act as the primary technical escalation point for your domain. Resolve the majority of technical decisions independently; elevate cross‑domain trade‑offs, long‑term architectural implications, or client‑or‑firm‑critical risks to the Head of Engineering.
• Operate with a high degree of autonomy within architectural boundaries set by the Head of Engineering, and contribute consultative input on engineering vision, org-wide architecture direction, and team‑wide technology selection.
• Uphold and reinforce coding standards, API design, and engineering best practices within your domain, contributing to their ongoing evolution across the team.
• Proactively identify technical risks, design trade-offs, and delivery challenges, collaborating with peers and leadership to drive resolution.
• Foster a culture of quality and accountability through thoughtful code reviews, documentation, knowledge sharing, and cross‑team collaboration.
• Contribute to hiring and performance management in a consultative capacity, with the potential to take on direct people‑management responsibilities as the team scales.

• 6+ years of experience as a Full‑Stack or Back‑End Developer within the Fin Tech or broader technology space.
• Strong proficiency in server‑side programming languages and technologies—C#/.NET, ASP.NET Core, Entity Framework, SQL;
  Python is a plus.
• Experience designing, building, or supporting cloud‑based architectures; familiarity with cloud-hosted systems (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP) is highly desirable.
• Experience providing technical leadership to a small team of engineers, including code review, mentorship, and guiding domain‑level design decisions.
• Experience leading multi‑quarter technical initiatives within a defined domain.
• Ability to balance business delivery with long‑term platform improvements while operating within established architectural boundaries.
• Demonstrated experience mentoring engineers, providing technical guidance, conducting code…
