The role

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.

What you'll do

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).

How you'll work

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