Our focus on quality at scale drives us to create innovative technology that supports Entain's mission to lead the change in global sports and gaming sector. At Entain India, we make the impossible possible, together.

As a Tech Lead, you'll bring your expertise into a new way of working. You won't just write code, you'll specify, orchestrate, validate, and ship with AI as your primary collaborator. You'll work in a small, mission-driven team called a pod. This team consists of three functions: Product, Engineer, and Quality, with high agency, shared ownership, and no hand-offs.

You will:

• Build scalable and efficient software systems
• Lead the development of complex software features and components
• Collaborate with teams to Identify project requirements
• Develop technical documentation for software systems
• Participate in code reviews and ensure adherence to coding standards

You have:

• 7+ years of experience in software development with a focus on system design and architecture
• Proficiency in one or more programming languages, such as Java, C++, or Python
• Experience with cloud-based technologies, such as AWS or Azure
• Experience with data structures, algorithms, and software design patterns
• Experience with Agile development methodologies and version control systems

We assess you across six core dimensions:

• AI Fluency: AI is the primary way we engineer. You prompt, evaluate, iterate. Manual coding is a deliberate choice, not the default.
• Cross-Functional Team Management: That's not my area doesn't exist. You contribute beyond your discipline, share openly, and Experience communicating updates and resolutions to customers and other partners formats.
• Customer and Value Awareness: Ask why and for whom before how. Zoom out to see the business, zoom in to trace the bug. Map dependencies before you build.
• Craft: Pride in the quality of what you create; specs, prototypes, or code with AI assistance. Clear structure, and a bar that applies to every artefact you ship.
• Technical Curiosity: Build a prototype and break it before reading the docs. Stay curious about how things work.
• Agency & Entrepreneurship: Don't wait for permission. Oversee outcomes end-to-end, make others successful, challenge the status quo.

Must Have

• Proficiency in at least one of: Java/Spring Boot, Python, .NET, Go, and Angular, with the ability to work on others with AI's help.
• Experience with engineering fundamentals: distributed systems, data structures, API design, database concepts, and cloud computing.
• Experience with clean code practices, TDD, CI/CD, and version control.
• Experience with application monitoring, observability, and production debugging.
• Familiarity with Docker/Kubernetes, microservices, and event-driven architectures.
• Proficiency with AI-assisted development tools (code generation, pair programming, automated testing).
• Experience with agent systems, MCP/tool protocols, or building AI-augmented workflows.
• Experience designing evaluation or observability strategies for AI outputs.

Nice if you Have

• Contributions to shared tooling, internal platforms, or open-source projects.
• Background in industries with strict regulatory requirements (gaming, financial services, healthcare).
• Experience with chaos engineering, testing, or performance optimization.
