About the role and team: As a Technical Lead at CreateFuture you lead a small, highly autonomous mobile team embedded with one of our clients, building consumer mobile products across iOS and Android. This is a hands-on leadership role: depending on the situation it spans mobile architecture and technical direction, leading delivery, growing your engineers, and being the person the client works with day to day. You line manage the engineers on your team and are accountable for how the team performs, delivers and grows. You are deeply product-focused. You understand the product, its users and the client's business, and you point the team at the work that creates the most value rather than just the work in front of you. The defining quality of the role is that you make your team drive, not be driven: you own the outcome, get ahead of the work, make sure the right work reaches the right people and actually ships, and create the space for engineers to take real ownership. You take risks, move fast, own it, and if something goes wrong you fix it. This is a role for someone who thrives on independence and ambiguity. You will often be working ahead of your leadership's day (across timezones), so you work autonomously, write everything down, surface blockers and decisions asynchronously, and drive questions to resolution yourself rather than waiting to be told. You keep momentum without needing constant real-time contact. You lead best-in-class AI-assisted delivery, not generic AI use. You continually improve how the team works with AI: building and refining reusable skills and agents, working in feedback loops rather than one-shot prompting, and driving spec-driven development where clear specifications and guidelines steer the AI. Humans stay accountable for quality; the bar keeps rising. You provide actionable feedback, technical guidance, mentoring and support, and you foster continuous improvement, growth and consultancy mindsets. The role represents CreateFuture as the engagement leader for the team, working with the client to understand their problems, manage expectations and drive business value forward. What you'll be doing: Technical Leadership Direction: sets the technical direction across iOS and Android, making informed decisions on architecture, patterns and tooling, and staying close enough to the code to make the call and to coach well. Hands-On: where appropriate, works in the codebase alongside the team, using hands-on time deliberately, including to coach and model good practice, rather than to be the hero. AI-Assisted Delivery: drives best-in-class AI-assisted delivery. Builds and improves reusable skills and agents,
