About the Role
Lead the technical direction of a large-scale mobile transformation.
We're supporting a growing technology consultancy delivering a major digital transformation programme within the public sector.
They're looking for an experienced Mobile Tech Lead to provide technical leadership across a suite of native mobile applications, helping shape architecture, engineering standards and delivery whilst remaining hands-on throughout the project.

Responsibilities
- Providing technical leadership across native mobile engineering teams.
- Shaping mobile architecture, engineering standards and best practices.
- Remaining hands-on with Android development whilst supporting the wider mobile capability.
- Working closely with architects, delivery teams and customer stakeholders to define technical solutions.
- Mentoring engineers through technical leadership, reviews and collaborative development.
- Helping solve complex engineering challenges across a large-scale digital transformation programme.
- Influencing technical direction whilst balancing long-term architecture with delivery.

Requirements
You'll ideally bring experience across:

- Architecture & Engineering: Experience designing scalable mobile architectures using patterns such as MVVM, MVI or Clean Architecture, alongside a strong understanding of modular applications, dependency injection and modern engineering principles.
- Mobile Engineering Practices: CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, code reviews, release management and application performance optimisation.
- Technical Leadership: Experience leading engineering teams, mentoring developers, making architectural decisions and engaging confidently with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Consultancy Experience: Comfortable working directly with customers, translating business requirements into technical solutions and providing technical leadership throughout delivery.
