The OpportunityHatch is looking for a Mobile Engineering Director to own mobile engineering across our entire product portfolio consisting of 4 teams: Adult, Kids, Foundations, and Growth. You'll manage our mobile engineering managers, set architecture and technical direction across teams, foster a culture of product-focused engineering, and make sure the org has the resourcing, escalation paths, and cross-team coordination it needs to ship. Engineering Managers own day-to-day delivery, and you own the accountability, direction, and connective tissue that keeps mobile engineering coherent across a broad and growing product line.
What You'll DoWithin 1 month:- Take over management of the mobile engineering managers, and start building the relationships and 1:1 cadence to support them
- Establish yourself as the owner of the weekly Mobile Strategy meeting
- Get oriented across all four teams - Adult, Kids, Foundations, and Growth - and understand current resourcing, roadmap, and delivery status in each team
- Understand existing AI strategy and opportunities on the mobile team
- Begin building relationships with Product and Design partners across the pillars, and start to foster a product engineering mindset across the team
Within 3 months:- Own resourcing, escalation, and overall direction for mobile delivery and architecture
- Take team-level accountability for cross-platform (iOS and Android) strategy, and for individual mobile delivery across the org
- Oversee direction for software quality in partnership with QA
- Start shaping architecture governance and the architectural review process, including how staff/principal technical leverage is applied across teams
- Own hiring pipeline direction, including interviewing and hiring decisions for open mobile roles
- Bring a mobile capacity view into roadmap planning
- Begin to set direction for AI adoption and tooling efficiency across the mobile org
- Establish strong working relationships and operating rhythms with Product and Design partners across the pillars, and build a product engineering culture across the team
After 6 months:- Lead architecture governance and the ADR process end to end, including calling the bets that affect roadmap or resourcing
- Set Mobile Health direction and strategy
- Define the approach to AI adoption and tooling efficiency across the mobile org
- Own staff development and feedback across the mobile org, including promotion decisions and escalations, and actively develop current and future engineering leads
- Champion recognition and culture for the mobile team, and build project management / product-engineering capability across teams
- As capacity allows, pick up select mobile IC work off the critical path to stay current
- Establish a robust cross-functional operating model for Mobile: how the organization plans, prioritizes, and coordinates with Product, Design, Analytics, and other key stakeholders
What You'll BringThe Essentials- Substantial experience leading mobile engineering organizations, including managing engineering managers
- A track record of setting technical direction and architecture governance across multiple concurrent product lines or teams
- Comfort operating through delegation - you set direction and hold accountability without needing to be hands-on in every workstream
- Strong cross-functional communication skills, including experience representing engineering to Product and Design partners, as well as executive stakeholders
- Experience building hiring pipelines and developing engineering leads
The Mindset We Love- A builder's mindset: comfortable with ambiguity and competing priorities across a broad remit

- Collaborative spirit: you make everyone around you better
- Clear communication: you can explain complex, cross-team tradeoffs simply
