- Partner with Product and Design to scope, sequence, and deliver customer-impacting work
- Collaborate with Backend and Platform teams to define mobile-server contracts, error handling, and observability
- Establish and improve release processes, feature flags, and crash/regression monitoring
- Improve code quality through testing, automation, and thoughtful architecture
- Participate in code reviews and mentor other engineers
- Drive operational excellence including monitoring, logging, crash analytics, and on-call readiness
Qualifications- 5+ years building production mobile apps on iOS or Android, with deep expertise in Swift or Kotlin
- Proven experience taking features from spec to ship in a customer-facing mobile product
- Strong grasp of mobile fundamentals: networking, concurrency, persistence, security, and performance optimization
- Comfortable with platform UI frameworks (SwiftUI/UIKit or Jetpack Compose/Views) and modern app architecture
- Experience with mobile CI/CD, distribution, and crash analytics (Xcode Cloud, fastlane, Gradle/Bitrise, Firebase Crashlytics, or similar)
- Quality mindset: unit and UI testing, automation, and observability best practices
- Excellent written and verbal communication; able to work autonomously with Product and Design
- Self-starter who thrives in ambiguity and ships business impact
Bonus- Experience on both iOS and Android, or cross-platform frameworks (React Native, Flutter, KMP)
- Familiarity with consuming third-party SDKs in a host app at scale
- Backend familiarity in Python and cloud services such as AWS
- Hospitality, B2B, or SaaS background
