Shobhit Jain

I offer career guidance and mentorship for software engineers and engineering managers looking to grow in backend, distributed systems, and engineering leadership roles.

With 12+ years of industry experience and currently serving as AVP Engineering, I have built and led large-scale backend platforms serving millions of users across consumer and B2B products. I work closely with product and business leaders and understand what companies look for at IC, Manager, and Senior Leadership levels.

My guidance focuses on:

1. Career progression from Individual Contributor → Tech Lead → Engineering Manager → Senior Leadership
2. Backend and distributed systems skill roadmap (Java, microservices, Kafka, scalability, reliability)
3. Resume and LinkedIn profile review for backend and leadership roles
4. Interview preparation for senior engineering and management positions
5. Real-world advice on ownership, impact, and decision-making expected at higher levels

This service is best suited for engineers who want practical, experience-backed guidance rather than generic career advice, and who are serious about long-term growth in backend and platform engineering.
