Job Description

As a TeamLead, you will be responsible for leading and managing a pod of 10+ developers and ensuring predictable, high-quality delivery in an Agile/Scrum model. This role is primarily focused on team management, sprint execution, and delivery ownership, rather than day-to-day coding.

You will act as the first point of contact for the development team, work closely with the Dev Lead and stakeholders, and ensure that requirements are well understood, work is properly planned, and sprint commitments are met. You are expected to bring strong technical understanding of the MERN stack to guide decisions, review work, and unblock the team, while setting standards for quality, collaboration, and accountability.

Typical activities that would be expected include:

• Program and deliver as per the scope provided by the delivery leads/onsite managers.
• Actively participate in the discussions/scrum meetings to comprehend and understand your scope of work and deliver as per your estimates/commitments.

• Work independently on your assigned work.
• Manage team members in understanding their estimates, monitoring their quality of work, and ensuring the team meets project deadlines.
• Actively guide team members and upskill them.
• Assign KRAs, monitor and evaluate team members’ job performance.

Requirements

• Strong understanding of TypeScript, React, and Node.js (MERN stack) to guide technical decisions (hands-on coding not mandatory).
• Proven experience leading small to mid-sized development teams (10+ members) in an Agile/Scrum environment.
• Strong experience in sprint planning, backlog grooming, estimation, and delivery tracking.
• Ability to break down requirements and technical designs into well-defined Jira tasks.
• Experience reviewing pull requests for quality, standards, and alignment, rather than implementation ownership.
• Solid understanding of backend and cloud components such as HAPI, DynamoDB, S3, Redis, and asynchronous workflows.
• Strong stakeholder communication skills and ability to provide status, risks, and mitigation plans.
• Experience mentoring developers, monitoring performance, and supporting upskilling.
• Strong ownership mindset for time, effort, and quality commitments of the pod.
• Ability to proactively identify delivery risks and dependency issues and resolve them early.

Benefits

• Participate in several organization-wide programs, including a compulsory innovation-based Continuous Improvement program providing you platforms to showcase your talent.
• Insurance benefits for the self and the spouse including maternity benefits.
• Ability to work on many products as the organization is focused on working with several ISVs.
• Fortnightly sessions to understand the directions of each function and an opportunity to interact with the entire hierarchy of the organization.
• Celebrations are a common place - physical or virtual. Participate in several games with your coworkers.
• Voice your opinions on topics other than your work - Chimera Talks.
• Hybrid working models - Remote + office.
