Shakers for companies
Work with a contract Tech Lead
A contract Tech Lead for the team that already builds and needs judgement: they decide the architecture of the solution, order the technical debt, hold the code standard and support your developers with reviews and mentoring. They keep writing code; they do not become a manager.
Certified talent that arrives by engagement, at the dedication the technical plan asks for, with a budget by scope and without growing headcount.

What this profile brings to your project
A Tech Lead is the senior who keeps writing code and makes the team's day-to-day technical decisions: architecture, code standards, reviews, technical debt and mentoring. Working by project, they hold that mandate by engagement, with no people management.
Their boundary: the lead developer coordinates code without the architecture mandate; the engineering manager grows the people; the Fractional CTO brings intermittent executive direction. The Tech Lead decides the technique of the team that builds.

Why work with Shakers
The advantages of adding this profile with Shakers
Architecture decided, not inherited
Stack, patterns and system limits documented: the architecture stops being whatever survived the sprints.
Code that passes review with criteria
Systematic code review and a standard applied the same on every merge: quality stops depending on the veteran of your team.
Technical debt with a plan, not an excuse
Technical debt leaves the chat and enters the roadmap: what gets paid, what waits and why, prioritised against every delivery.
Mentoring that raises the team's level
Reviews that teach, technical 1:1s and pairing: the team ships better and the judgement stays when the engagement ends.
Day-to-day technique with an owner
The rung that is not a manager: a senior who decides architecture and reviews with the team, with no fixed management seat.
The judgement stays in your system
Architecture, standards and roadmap documented: if the specialist changes, another certified talent picks up the technical thread.
Frequently asked questions
Any other questions? Our team will answer them.
Tell us about your projectWhat does a contract Tech Lead do?
They make the day-to-day technical decisions of your team by engagement: architecture, code standards, reviews, technical debt and mentoring. They keep writing code; they are not a people manager.
Tech Lead or Fractional CTO?
If your team already builds and the day-to-day technique is missing, it is a Tech Lead. If what is missing is intermittent executive direction (strategy, vendors, investment), it is a Fractional CTO.
Tech Lead or Engineering Manager?
The Tech Lead makes the architecture and code decisions; the engineering manager grows the people and keeps the team working. One directs the technique, the other manages the team.
Are Lead Developer and Tech Lead the same?
No: the lead developer coordinates the same code without the mandate over architecture, standards and mentoring. The market crosses the names; the engagement arrives with the boundary written.
How much does a contract Tech Lead cost by project?
The mechanism moves it: seniority, team size, stack and billing by days or by project. Public marketplaces already quote the day around EUR 400; the budget closes per engagement.
How do I check they are a real Tech Lead?
With counted decisions: which architectures they defended, which reviews taught, which debt they paid. Certification stands on real cases and, if the specialist changes, another follows the thread.
What a Tech Lead puts in order first
A system audit, a technical debt map, code standards and a review rhythm that actually holds. After that, deciding with the team what gets built and how far.
Tech lead, technical lead or tech leader
Job ads title the rung tech lead and technical lead alike, tech leader is the same search again, and "líder técnico" is how the Spanish-language market names it. Same craft, one door.
Java, Python or your team's stack
Spanish job ads anchor the role to one dominant technology, with Java and Python up front. The engagement arrives with the stack written; the specialist, with a track record on it.
The by-project door already has a market
About 10 searches a month per formula sustain marketplaces that quote the profile by the day, plus an active project opening in Barcelona. Technical decisions by engagement, here with certification.

Fractional CTO
The seniority boundary: your team already builds and lacks day-to-day technique (Tech Lead); intermittent executive direction enters through their row.
Backend Developer
The hand that executes what your Tech Lead decides: REST APIs, services and databases. When directing also means shipping code, their row joins.
Full Stack Developer
The generalist who covers the product end to end: the Tech Lead sets the standard and the full-stack applies it across frontend and backend.
DevOps Engineer
Whoever turns the technical decision into delivery: pipelines, CI/CD and reproducible environments. The other half of the standard your Tech Lead defines.
