Responsibilities
- Own and drive the architecture of native mobile applications (iOS and Android)
- Define modular boundaries, component strategies, and platform patterns
- Design and deliver scalable, secure solutions leveraging native mobile capabilities and cloud-native architectures on popular platforms such as AWS, GCP and Azure
- 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

- 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
