Engineering Team Lead (Python + Typescript) Bengaluru Experience: 57 years | Joining: Immediate About the Role: Lead a small engineering team building high-volume, data-intensive systems that transform complex enterprise data into accurate, machine-readable outputs. Youll work closely with the founder on architecture and own system reliability, scalability, and correctness. What Makes This Role Different: This is not a pure people-management role. Youll remain deeply hands-on with architecture, production systems, and technical decisions. Youll also be expected to operate effectively in ambiguity and challenge existing architectural decisions when needed. What Youll Own: Drive architecture across TypeScript/NestJS workflows and Python data/AI servicesBuild reliable long-running workflows with durable execution, retries, and idempotencyDesign scalable data processing using Polars, DuckDB, Parquet, and streamingBuild evaluation and regression frameworks to measure AI/system accuracyOwn production systems running in customer cloud environmentsLead hiring, code reviews, technical decisions, and mentor engineersMaintain clean boundaries between workflow orchestration, AI/agent execution, and bulk data processing What Were Looking For: 57 years building backend, distributed, or data-intensive systemsStrong expertise in Python or TypeScript, with working proficiency in the otherExperience taking systems from design production ongoing ownershipStrong understanding of distributed systems, retries, idempotency, failures, and long-running workflowsHands-on experience with high-volume data processingEngineering leadership experience mentoring, reviewing, and raising technical standardsStrong focus on correctness, observability, and production reliability Strong Plus: Temporal or similar workflow orchestration platformsLLM/AI systems with measurable evaluationPolars, DuckDB, Arrow, ParquetAzure and enterprise cloud environmentsLangGraph / agentic workflowsDocker, Terraform/Bicep, OpenTelemetry Tech Stack: Python TypeScript NestJS Temporal LangGraph Polars DuckDB Parquet Pydantic PostgreSQL Redis Azure Docker Terraform/Bicep React .
Here's how to pick the right one and stand out in your application.

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
