  • Contribute to broader mobile initiatives, such as aligning on shared tooling, frameworks, and long-term platform strategy

About You:
  • 7+ years of experience building mobile applications (iOS or Android), including experience working on production-scale apps
  • Proven experience leading engineering teams and delivering complex projects end-to-end
  • Strong understanding of mobile architecture, performance optimization, and modern development practices (e.g. CI/CD, testing, MVVM)
  • Comfortable working across mobile, backend, and product domains to deliver cohesive solutions
  • Collaborative and pragmatic, able to balance speed with quality and make thoughtful trade-offs
  • Hands-on and detail-oriented when needed, while still operating effectively at a leadership level
  • Clear communicator who builds trust across teams and creates a positive, inclusive team environment
