People who have technically led small teams.
Who have a solid background as senior engineers.
Who feel comfortable programming and making architecture decisions.
Who have worked with production systems at scale.
We are looking for people who want to work close to the problem, make decisions, and build technology with purpose.
It is a demanding environment, with real responsibility, but also with space to learn, improve, and have a direct impact on products that are part of the daily lives of millions of people.
If this approach fits you, we would love to meet you.
At Inditex, we are evolving our way of building technology.
In a global company like Inditex, technology is key to making the business work every day: in stores, ecommerce, logistics, transport, distribution, people, or finance.
That is why we are changing how we work: small, autonomous teams and giving space to technical responsibility, judgment, and team autonomy.
We believe that the best products emerge when engineering understands the complete context in which it operates: the people who use it, the business processes, the data, and the technology that connects them.
And we are looking for professionals who are motivated to work with that vision.
We are looking for Tech Leads to accompany small and stable teams working on products and platforms critical to the business.
The Tech Lead role is a role of close technical reference, responsible for helping the team make good technical decisions today without compromising the future of the product.
In this model, technical decisions are made close to the problem, architecture evolves incrementally, and quality and scalability are part of the daily work.

You will have context regarding the operational processes that depend on the systems you build.
You will help the team anticipate impacts, dependencies, and technical risks.
You will participate from early stages in the definition of the technical solution.
You will design and evolve distributed services architectures.
Backend and frontend.
Data modeling.
Integrations and APIs.
You will manage technical debt consciously and with priority.
You will actively program on a day-to-day basis.
You will review code and propose improvements.
You will accompany the team in design and implementation decisions.
You will drive best practices in testing, quality, and maintainability.
You will collaborate closely with product and business people.
You will translate product objectives into viable technical decisions.
You will help prioritize the team's work based on impact and value provided.
Backend: Java / Kotlin, Node.js, Python (depending on domain).
Architecture: microservices, APIs, event-driven systems.
Data: relational and NoSQL databases.
Cloud: cloud environments (AWS/GCP), infrastructure as code.
DevOps: CI/CD, observability, monitoring.
AI and data: integration of models and data services when the product requires it.
