- Dscout is a US-based company, and while working these core hours is expected in this role, we know that from time-to-time life happens and we can be flexible to meet your needs.
What you will do:- Lead our mobile team and its continued maturity and evolution in this AI-native space
- Stand up an AI-native development process for the mobile team - agents, evals, review loops - that sustains that pace beyond the rewrite
- Drive a thin-client architecture for the participant experience, pushing business logic to the backend so the apps stay simple
- Contribute Python to our AI backend service when mobile needs new capabilities - using AI agents to do it efficiently
- Set our participant API and broader participant platform direction beyond the mobile team
- Spend about 70% of your time supporting your product team; the other 30% on self-directed leadership tasks and platform improvements
- Drive continuous process improvement across the mobile team and its partner teams
- Mentor other engineers and help evolve the Engineering org
- Apply a DevOps mindset to improve the Continuous Delivery pipeline and other operational aspects of our SaaS & mobile platform
- Be involved in security and compliance efforts for the organization (we are SOC II & HITRUST certified)
What you need to have:- Significant experience as a mobile software engineer with Principal/Staff-level scope (titles aren't important - we care about what you've shipped and led)
- Experience with iOS and Android, and a willingness to work outside the mobile ecosystem when the problem calls for it
- Hands-on experience with AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or similar) - not just autocomplete - and an opinion on how to design an SDLC around them
- Experience in system architecture to supplement mobile experience (backend API design, databases, mobile devops), how it all fits together, and design trade-offs
- A proven track record of leading, mentoring, and growing engineers
- Expertise with cloud-based SaaS architectures and evolutionary design
- At home with agile, DevOps, CI/CD, observability/tracing, and data/metrics-based decision making
Of course, what is outlined above is an ideal set of expectations; however, business needs and other projects and tasks may shift, and additional tasks could be assigned at the discretion of your manager.
Location Flexibility: Dscout is proud to support a remote-first workforce and enable employees to work from almost anywhere. At this time, however, we are unable to hire in the following locations: Montana, Hawaii, Alaska, and Washington DC.
