Job Description:

Tremend is looking for a Technical Lead / Senior Java Engineer to join our team of bright thinkers and doers. You’ll play an essential role in bridging the gap between individual contributors and the Head of Engineering. This position is designed for an experienced engineer who is technically strong and enjoys contributing hands-on, yet also excels in strategic planning, mentoring, and guiding engineering practices across teams. As a Tech Lead, you will work closely with the Head of Engineering to set and execute on our technical vision, foster high-quality engineering, and drive continuous improvement within our cross-functional squads.

Job Responsibility:

Collaborate on Technical Vision and Strategy: Work closely with the Head of Engineering to translate high-level objectives into actionable technical strategies, ensuring they align with Bupa’s product and platform goals
Lead Architectural and Technical Initiatives: Take ownership of complex technical challenges, including architectural decisions, system design, and technical debt management, and ensure solutions meet scalability and reliability standards
Mentor and Coach Engineers: Support the growth of junior and senior engineers through regular 1:1s, code reviews, and architectural guidance. Act as a role model for engineering best practices and encourage a high-quality, collaborative culture
Drive Engineering Excellence: Lead initiatives to improve development workflows, CI/CD processes, and testing practices. Champion DevOps and QA as integrated practices within the team, reinforcing that quality and infrastructure ownership are shared responsibilities
Data Storage and Integration Leadership: Provide expertise in SQL and NoSQL databases, including PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Elasticsearch, and guide teams in designing resilient integration patterns using tools like Kafka, SQS, and Google Pub/Sub
Cross-functional Collaboration: Work with product, design, and cross-functional stakeholders to ensure alignment on project goals, timelines, and deliverables. Act as a technical advocate for your team and help clarify technical requirements for non-technical stakeholders
Hands-on Engineering Work (30%): Maintain a high level of technical involvement through code reviews, contributing to critical codebases, and developing proofs of concept to validate new ideas or frameworks when needed

Requirements:

8+ years of experience in backend engineering, particularly in Java (Spring Boot) microservices, with a proven ability to design, build, and lead scalable solutions
Advanced experience with GCP (or other cloud platforms), containerization with Kubernetes, and Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and Helm
Strong SQL skills and hands-on experience with NoSQL databases (e.g., MongoDB, Cassandra, or Elasticsearch), along with integration experience using modern messaging systems like Kafka, Google Pub/Sub, or SQS
A solid understanding of DevOps and QA as embedded functions, with hands-on experience in CI/CD, testing, and monitoring using OpenTelemetry and Google metrics
Proven ability to coach engineers, set high standards, and foster a collaborative, growth-oriented culture. Strong communication skills with the ability to break down complex concepts for various stakeholders
Experience aligning technical strategy with business goals and adapting to evolving organizational needs. Comfort working in high-ambiguity environments where change is frequent

Nice to have:

Experience in Regulated Industries: Background in healthcare or finance, with knowledge of standards like FHIR
Frontend Exposure: Familiarity with React Native and TypeScript

What we offer:

A fast-paced tech environment
Continuous growth & learning
Open feedback culture
Room for own initiative & ideas
Transparency about results & strategy
Recognition & reward for hard work
