Technical Lead – Mobile & Cloud Applications

We are looking for an experienced Technical Lead to take ownership of a mobile application ecosystem and lead technical delivery across mobile, backend and cloud architecture. This is a broader technical leadership role rather than a purely mobile development position. The successful candidate will lead the mobile engineering team while also working closely across backend, cloud and architecture functions, with a particular focus on BFF architecture, Java Spring Boot and cloud migration from AWS to Microsoft Azure. Key Responsibilities • Provide technical leadership across mobile application development, backend integration and cloud architecture. • Lead and mentor mobile engineers across iOS and Android environments. • Drive technical decisions around application architecture, scalability, integration and engineering standards. • Support the migration of application services and backend components from AWS to Microsoft Azure. • Work with and support Backend For Frontend (BFF) architecture serving mobile applications. • Collaborate with backend teams working with Java and Spring Boot. • Ensure effective integration between mobile applications, APIs, backend services and cloud platforms. • Contribute to architecture reviews and technical design decisions across the wider application ecosystem. • Support CI/CD, release management and production-readiness activities. • Identify and resolve technical issues across mobile, backend and cloud layers. • Work closely with product, architecture, DevOps, backend and platform teams. • Promote strong engineering practices including code reviews, maintainability, performance and security. Requirements • Strong experience as a Technical Lead, Lead Software Engineer, Mobile Architect, Solution Architect or similar. • Strong background in mobile application engineering, with experience across iOS and/or Android. • Good understanding of Swift, Kotlin or other modern mobile technologies. • Experience leading and mentoring software engineering teams. • Strong understanding of Backend For Frontend (BFF) architecture, APIs and service integration. • Practical experience with Java / Spring Boot environments. • Strong cloud experience, ideally with Microsoft Azure, with AWS experience also highly relevant. • Exposure to cloud migration, particularly moving workloads or services between AWS and Azure. • Good understanding of microservices, API architecture, CI/CD and DevOps practices. • Ability to work across multiple technical domains rather than focusing only on mobile development. • Strong communication, stakeholder management and technical decision-making skills. • Comfortable working in an environment where the technology stack may continue to evolve. Preferred Experience • Previous ownership of a mobile ecosystem spanning frontend, BFF and backend services. • Experience modernising or migrating cloud-based application platforms. • Strong Azure architecture exposure. • Experience leading distributed or cross-functional engineering teams. • Background in high-scale consumer, automotive, mobility or digital platforms is an advantage.
