The RoleWe are looking for a Mobile Developer who will take full, end-to-end ownership of the BusPlanner mobile application portfolio. This is not a role where someone else builds the platform and you apply a UI on top of it. You will write the mobile code, build the C# APIs that support it, work directly with the ruggedized tablets and peripherals our customers use in the field, and own getting releases into the Apple App Store and Google Play.
Our mobile products include a driver and attendant application used on in-vehicle tablets and a parent-facing application used on both iOS and Android consumer devices, along with ridership and scanning capability that integrates with physical hardware. All of it is built on .NET MAUI in C#.
The work is varied: some weeks are focused feature and integration work on the mobile apps, others are spent in the supporting APIs, on hardware and peripheral behaviour, or in adjacent parts of the platform such as BusPlanner Web, GPS tracking, live viewer and dispatch. We are looking for someone who is happy moving across that surface rather than staying in a single lane.
What You Will Own- Mobile development in .NET MAUI - building, maintaining and improving our driver, attendant and parent applications for both Android and iOS.
- End-to-end release ownership - producing builds, managing signing and provisioning, publishing to the Apple App Store and Google Play, and shepherding releases through review and rollout.
- Backend API development in C# - designing and building the APIs your mobile work depends on, so mobile delivery is never blocked waiting on another team.
- Device and peripheral integration - working on ruggedized Android tablets (currently the Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 5) and the peripherals attached to them, including RFID readers, QR and barcode scanners, USB devices, and mounting and power considerations.
- Push notifications and messaging - owning the notification pipeline that reaches drivers, attendants and parents.
- Production support - investigating and resolving issues reported from the field across the mobile portfolio and its supporting services.
- Cross-product contribution - pitching in on ridership and scanning features, GPS and live tracking, dispatch and other products in our student transportation ecosystem.
What Success Looks Like- First 30 days - Environment set up, able to build and run all mobile applications locally, first bug fixes shipped, familiar with the release process.
- First 90 days - Independently owning mobile releases to both stores. Delivering mobile features and the supporting API work without hand-offs.
- First 6 months - The recognized owner of the mobile portfolio, trusted on device and peripheral questions, and contributing across adjacent parts of the platform.
RequirementsMust-Have- 4-6 years of professional mobile development experience, including at least 2-3 years building and shipping production apps with .NET MAUI.
- Strong, demonstrable .NET MAUI development experience - shipped production applications, not tutorials or proofs of concept. (Xamarin.Forms background is relevant, but we need current MAUI capability.)
- Solid C# skills, including the ability to independently design and build backend REST APIs in .NET.
- Full mobile lifecycle experience: build configuration, code signing, provisioning, store submission and release management for both the Apple App Store and Google Play.
- Experience integrating mobile applications with physical hardware and peripherals - scanners, readers, USB or Bluetooth devices, or similar.
- An AI-first, Claude-first approach to development. We expect our engineers to use AI tooling as a core part of how they design, build, test and debug, and to keep getting better at it.
- Comfort working autonomously with a small team, taking a problem from ambiguous request to shipped release.
Nice-to-Have- React Native and/or Progressive Web App experience.
- DevOps capability - build and release pipelines, environment setup, deployment automation for server-based software.
- Experience with Android device management, kiosk or dedicated-device deployments, or fleet-provisioned tablets.
- Background in fleet, transportation, telematics, GPS or logistics software.
- Experience working with self-hosted and cloud-hosted deployments of the same product.
Benefits- Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses.
- Full health and wellness benefits.
- Flexible work hours and remote-friendly setup.
- Modern mobile tooling and the autonomy to shape how our iOS and Android apps are built and shipped.
- A collaborative team culture focused on shipping polished apps that drivers, parents, and districts rely on every day.
