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 (i OS/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 i OS/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/i OS, 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, Voice Over, Talk Back). Experience building or maintaining design system component libraries. Experience in large, multi-team or international/Enterprise environments. Conditions Competitive salary Adaptable benefits package (~€3,700 net/year) Private health insurance Remote work allowance (1-2 days office/week) Wellbeing benefits
