  • Leverage OS-level and device capabilities (e.g., permissions, networking, device controls) to enable secure, consistent behavior across environments
  • Translate ambiguous requirements into clear technical direction, guiding teams from concept through production
  • Establish and evolve reusable mobile frameworks, shared components, and engineering standards across teams
  • Drive prototyping and technical validation for new capabilities, ensuring solutions scale beyond initial implementation
  • Provide technical leadership and mentorship, setting the bar for native mobile development, code quality, and system design
  • Lead architectural discussions and make high-impact technical decisions, balancing performance, security, and scalability
  • Drive alignment across product, security, and platform teams, ensuring cohesive mobile-to-cloud integration
  • Own resolution of complex, system-level production issues, particularly across devices, operating systems, and environments
  • Champion and evolve CI/CD, observability, and DevOps practices for mobile applications
  • Adopt modern mobile architecture patterns (e.g., modular, layered design) and improve engineering standards across the team

Qualifications

  • 7-10+ years of experience building and delivering hybrid or native mobile applications (iOS and Android)
  • Strong expertise in Swift (iOS) and Kotlin/Android SDK, with deep understanding of mobile platform internals
  • Proven ability to lead end-to-end delivery of complex mobile applications using modular, scalable architecture patterns
  • Experience designing applications that integrate with OS-level and device capabilities (e.g., permissions, networking, device controls)
  • Familiarity with building cloud-connected mobile applications on popular platforms such as AWS, GCP and Azure
  • Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and release processes for mobile applications
  • Strong understanding of application security, including authentication, secure communication, and device-level considerations
  • Experience implementing observability and monitoring (logs, metrics, alerts) for production systems
  • Experience with React, TypeScript, or modern web technologies, particularly in support of cross-platform or hybrid applications
  • Proven ability to mentor engineers, drive technical decisions, and influence architecture across teams
  • Excellent problem-solving, communication, and leadership skills
