Principal Lead Developer

Supercharge Your Career as a Principal Lead Developer at Technoidentity!

What’s in it for You?

Technoidentity is building a high-impact Temporal Capability Center to design, deliver, and scale resilient workflow-orchestration solutions for enterprise customers. We are seeking a hands-on, technically strong Principal Lead Developer who combines deep software-engineering expertise with solution-architecture leadership, distributed-systems knowledge, and an ownership mindset.

This role is suited to a resourceful engineer who can independently take multi-faceted business and technical requirements from discovery through design, implementation, rollout, and operational improvement. You will work directly with overseas clients, shape architecture decisions, lead multiple technical workstreams, and mentor junior developers while remaining actively involved in code, design reviews, and delivery.

The ideal candidate has strong practical experience in Python, Java, and/or TypeScript, has experience with Cloud Platforms, understands modern AI-assisted engineering practices. Experience with distributed workflow solutions using orchestration platforms such as Temporal, Cadence, Camunda, or similar technologies will be preferred, but is not a requirement.

What Will You Be Doing?

• Lead the end-to-end technical delivery of workflow-orchestration and distributed-systems solutions for enterprise clients.
  
• Design robust, scalable, secure, and observable architectures using durable execution, asynchronous messaging, APIs, event-driven patterns, and cloud-native components.
  
• Build production-grade services and workflow implementations using Python, Java, and/or TypeScript.
  
• Design and implement long-running business processes using orchestration frameworks such as Temporal, Cadence, Camunda, or equivalent platforms.
  
• Apply distributed-systems principles to address reliability, idempotency, retries, timeouts, compensating transactions, eventual consistency, failure recovery, and data consistency.
  
• Design and implement Saga patterns, including orchestration-based and choreography-based approaches, for multi-service business transactions.
  
• Lead architecture discovery sessions, technical workshops, solution presentations, and design reviews with overseas clients and internal stakeholders.
  
• Translate business requirements into clear solution architectures, implementation plans, technical specifications, estimates, and delivery milestones.
  
• Drive multiple concurrent technical streams, identify dependencies and risks early, and maintain delivery quality under changing priorities.
  
• Establish engineering standards for workflow design, API contracts, error handling, versioning, testing, deployment, observability, and operational readiness.
  
• Use AI-assisted SDLC practices responsibly to improve developer productivity, code quality, test coverage, documentation, and delivery velocity.
  
• Design and contribute to agentic orchestration solutions, including coordination of AI agents, tool/API integrations, workflow state management, guardrails, human-in-the-loop controls, and evaluation approaches where relevant.
  
• Perform hands-on development of critical components, prototypes, integrations, and reference implementations.
  
• Conduct code reviews and architectural reviews, ensuring solutions are maintainable, performant, secure, and aligned with engineering best practices.
  
• Mentor and guide junior developers; support technical growth through pairing, reviews, reusable patterns, technical sessions, and constructive feedback.
  
• Collaborate with delivery, product, platform, QA, DevOps, security, and client teams to ensure successful implementation and production adoption.
  
• Contribute reusable assets, accelerators, templates, documentation, and best practices to the Temporal Capability Center.
  

What Makes You the Perfect Fit?

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical discipline, with 6+ years of relevant work experience.
  
• Significant professional software-development experience, including experience leading technical delivery and mentoring engineering teams.
  
• Strong hands-on proficiency in at least one of the following languages:
  

o   Python

o   Java

o   TypeScript

• Demonstrated experience designing and building distributed, scalable, highly available, or event-driven systems.
  
• Strong understanding of microservices architecture, REST and/or asynchronous APIs, message-driven systems, and integration patterns.
  
• Practical expertise with distributed-systems concerns, including:
  

o   Idempotency and duplicate-message handling

o   Retries, backoff, timeouts, and circuit-breaking strategies

o   Failure handling and recovery

o   Eventual consistency and data synchronization

o   State management for long-running processes

o   Observability, logging, metrics, tracing, and operational debugging

• Strong understanding and practical application of the Saga pattern and compensating-transaction design.
  
• Experience designing solution architectures and communicating technical trade-offs to both engineering and business stakeholders.
  
• Ability to lead junior developers through technical direction, task decomposition, code review, and mentorship.
  
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.
  
• High ownership, self-motivation, adaptability, and the ability to make sound decisions in ambiguous and fast-moving environments.
  

Preferred Qualifications

• Production experience with Temporal, Cadence, Camunda, AWS Step Functions, Azure Durable Functions, Netflix Conductor, Apache Airflow, or comparable orchestration technologies..
  
• Experience migrating from legacy schedulers, BPM platforms, or synchronous microservice flows to durable workflow orchestration.
  
• Experience building agentic or AI-enabled applications using LLMs, tool calling, agent frameworks, retrieval-augmented generation, MCP, guardrails, or evaluation frameworks.
  
• Practical use of AI coding assistants and AI-aided SDLC workflows for planning, implementation, testing, code review, documentation, and troubleshooting.
  
• Cloud-native development experience on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, or a hybrid-cloud environment.
  
• Experience with Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code, and container-based deployments.
  
• Experience with event-streaming and messaging platforms such as Kafka, RabbitMQ, cloud queues, or pub/sub systems.
  
• Experience with relational and NoSQL databases, data-modeling strategies, and transactional/outbox patterns.
  
• Experience with API gateways, security controls, OAuth/OIDC, secrets management, and secure service-to-service communication.
  
• Familiarity with domain-driven design, event sourcing, CQRS, and enterprise integration patterns.
  
• Experience in technical consulting, pre-sales support, solution accelerators, or client-facing technical leadership.
  

Leadership Expectations

As a Principal Lead Developer, you will be expected to:

• Act as a trusted technical advisor to clients and internal delivery teams.
  
• Balance architecture leadership with hands-on engineering execution.
  
• Proactively identify problems, propose practical solutions, and drive them to completion without waiting for detailed direction.
  
• Manage and prioritize several workstreams while communicating progress, risks, decisions, and dependencies clearly.
  
• Raise engineering quality through reusable standards, design patterns, code reviews, and mentoring.
  
• Build confidence with clients through technical depth, clarity, responsiveness, and reliable delivery.
  
• Foster a collaborative, accountable, learning-oriented engineering culture within the Temporal Capability Center.
