Lalpur in Ranchi has a Lead Backend Systems Engineer opening, part time, on site, with a software team building and maintaining server-side systems for a small but growing product. Twelve years of experience is the expectation, and the part-time structure here means genuinely flexible in-office scheduling, not a lighter version of the actual responsibility.
The work covers designing and building backend software components, working closely with product and QA teams, reviewing code from other developers, and troubleshooting issues reported by users. A lead engineer working part time still owns the architecture decisions for the systems under their remit, which means the reduced hours get spent efficiently rather than the scope of the role shrinking to match.
A bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, or a related field is expected, along with practical, hands-on project experience and demonstrated proficiency in the relevant languages, tools, and frameworks. Twelve years is a genuinely senior bar, and the team is specifically looking for someone who's made real architecture calls before, not just implemented someone else's design.
None of the following are dealbreakers, but they help: experience with a message queue for asynchronous processing, familiarity with caching strategies for high-read systems, and any background specifically working part time or in a fractional capacity for a growing company, since that arrangement takes real discipline to make work well for both sides.
Lalpur has a modest but steady IT presence within Ranchi, and this particular team is small enough that a lead engineer's architectural decisions genuinely shape the product's direction rather than getting diluted across a larger organization. Naukri Mitra has listed a handful of roles from this employer before, and past hires describe the part-time structure as a real, functioning arrangement here, not a workaround for a role the company actually wanted full time.
Interviews include a system design round and a discussion of a past architecture decision you'd make differently in hindsight. Candidates who can honestly critique their own past work, not just describe their successes, tend to interview well.
This role is based at Lalpur, Ranchi, pin code 834001, on site during scheduled part-time hours. Pay runs up to ₹83,000 a month. The team hopes to fill this seat within six weeks.
