Overview THE ROLE: Build and scale next-generation mobile experiences by operating as an innovation engineer, not just a feature implementer. In this role, you’ll turn ambiguous ideas into validated, high-impact mobile solutions — balancing rapid experimentation with long-term platform stability and scalability. You’ll play a key role in shaping what gets built, why it matters, and how it can scale across mobile ecosystems. Working at the intersection of product discovery, platform evolution, and technical experimentation, you’ll apply deep mobile expertise to both strategy and execution — influencing mobile direction as much as you ship code. This is a hands-on role for builders who thrive in uncertainty, enjoy early-stage problem solving, and want to leave a lasting mark on mobile platforms. This is not a traditional mobile delivery role. You will: Work in high-ambiguity environmentsBuild prototypes before roadmapsValidate assumptions through experiments, data, and learningHelp transition validated concepts into scalable, production-grade systems HOW YOU WOULD CONTRIBUTE: Discovery, Framing & Experimentation Partner with product, build, data, and business collaborators to frame problems, not just implement requirementsTranslate loosely defined ideas into hypotheses, experiments, and technical prototypesLead or contribute to discovery sprints, feasibility studies, and technical spikesChallenge assumptions and propose alternative mobile experiences or architectures Prototyping & Validation Build rapid prototypes (throwaway and evolutionary) to test user value and technical feasibilityInstrument prototypes with analytics to measure adoption, performance, and learning outcomesRun controlled experiments (feature flags, pilots, A/B tests) where appropriateMake informed tradeoffs between speed, quality, scalability, and learning Mobile Architecture & Platform Thinking Build native and cross-platform mobile solutions with platform and ecosystem thinkingInfluence mobile architecture decisions, frameworks, SDKs, and integration patternsBalance innovation velocity with long-term maintainability and platform evolutionCollaborate on API contracts, data models, and service boundaries Engineering Excellence Write clean, efficient, and maintainable mobile code aligned with platform guidelinesImplement secure, performant, and accessible user experiencesOptimize performance across memory, battery, startup time, and responsivenessApply mobile security guidelines, including authentication, encryption, and data protection Teamwork & Influence Collaborate closely with UX, backend, data, and product teams to build cohesive solutionsProvide technical mentorship and architectural guidance to mobile engineersCommunicate sophisticated technical ideas clearly to non-technical collaboratorsInfluence direction through prototypes, evidence, and technical insight Operational Enablement Advise on mobile DevOps practices, including CI/CD, automated testing, and release strategiesSupport transition of validated concepts from innovation into scaled delivery teams Document architecture, experiments, findings, and technical decisions Qualifications SKILLS AND BACKGROUND REQUIRED TO BE SUCCESSFUL: 5+ years of professional mobile development experience; experience working with diverse technology stacks and multiple projects preferred Proven experience across both exploration (early-stage) and exploitation (scaled delivery) preferred Native mobile development (Swift/SwiftUI for iOS and/or Kotlin for Android) Cross-platform development frameworks (React Native, Flutter, or similar) Mobile application architecture and design patterns (MVVM, MVC, Clean Architecture) API integration, mobile networking, and data synchronization Lifecycle management, memory management, diagnostics, and performance optimization Proven track record to work effectively with incomplete or evolving requirements Strong problem-framing and systems-thinking skills Experience building prototypes or proof-of-concepts—not just production features Curious approach with a bias toward experimentation and learning Ability to articulate why a solution works, not just how it’s built Proven track record of delivering production mobile applications with high quality and performance Deep understanding of iOS and Android platform capabilities, limitations, and guidelines Experience with mobile development tools and IDEs (Xcode, Android Studio) Strong problem-solving skills for complex technical challenges Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to non-technical collaborators Mobile analytics (such as Firebase, Crashlytics), experimentation, and observability tooling Experience with feature flags, phased rollouts, or experimentation platforms Exposure to emerging mobile technologies (AI-enabled UX, AR, sensors, wearables) Contributions to open-source, side projects, or experimental work Experience with mobile database solutions (Core Data, Room, Realm, SQLite) Understanding of mobile security guidelines and common vulnerabilities Experience with mobile CI/CD tools (Fastlane, Jenkins, GitHub Actions) Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) for mobile backends Experience with augmented reality (ARKit, ARCore) or other emerging mobile technologies Understanding of app store submission and review processes Education Minimum: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent experience Preferred: Master’s degree or equivalent experience with a demonstrated innovation portfolio (prototypes, experiments, published apps) Certifications: Platform-specific certifications (Apple Developer certification, Google Associate Android Developer), and relevant technology certifications are valuable Equivalent Experience: Outstanding portfolios showing sustained innovation impact may substitute for formal education.
