Talking with Tech Leads
summary
N26 builds a tech leadership development program and reports trained 100+ tech leads as evidence that the role needs teaching, not just promotion. A Tech Lead is a distinct Trident track (technical leader, IC, manager), responsible for team code quality, technical vision and debt management. Guideline: spend about 30% coding (or code-reading) to stay effective. Practical tactics: situational delegation, coach/mentor feedback loops, and carving recurring planning time to shift from maker to multiplier. N26 is one of the few German banks fully in the cloud.
