Job description

At Q-Tech, we are looking for a Squad Tech Lead on behalf of one of our clients, a leading European tech-driven retail company with millions of active users and an international footprint, to lead a team focused on Design System and mobile applications (iOS/Android/React Native).

We're looking for a hybrid profile between engineering manager and tech lead: someone focused on the big picture, decision-making and people growth rather than hands-on low-level coding, since the team already includes very senior technical profiles.

Your responsibilities:

  • Own critical technical decisions for a cross-platform design system, helping the team evaluate trade-offs and balance technical debt against user and developer experience.

  • Manage, coach and grow a multidisciplinary engineering team (ongoing feedback, 1-on-1s, development plans).

  • Drive squad delivery alongside the Product Owner, balancing velocity, quality and business alignment.

  • Embed accessibility standards (WCAG, native iOS/Android frameworks) into component design.

  • Oversee mobile release lifecycles and CI/CD pipelines (e.g. Fastlane).

What we're looking for:

  • 3+ years directly managing software engineering teams, with a genuine ability to lead through influence.

  • Solid technical judgment across frontend/mobile technologies (React, React Native, Swift/iOS, Kotlin/Android).

  • Proven experience making technical decisions in complex environments with no single clear-cut answer.

  • Strong communication skills and ability to work across teams and business stakeholders.

  • Fluent English and Spanish.

Nice to have:

  • Practical experience with web/mobile accessibility standards (WCAG, VoiceOver, TalkBack).

  • Experience building or maintaining design system component libraries.

  • Experience in large, multi-team or international/Enterprise environments.

Conditions

  • Competitive salary

  • Flexible benefits package (~€3,700 net/year)

  • Private health insurance

  • Remote work allowance (1-2 days office/week)

  • Wellbeing benefits
