What You'll Be Doing

The Sr. Mobile Engineer, Simplii Technology will play a key role in shaping our React Native engineering capability and helping us build a high-performing mobile development team. This role is responsible for leading the design, development, and evolution of scalable mobile applications across iOS and Android, while also establishing strong engineering practices, mentoring developers, and raising the bar for technical excellence. The successful candidate will bring deep hands-on React Native expertise, strong native mobile foundations, and the leadership mindset needed to help grow a strong internal community of React Native developers. Just as importantly, this person will know how to build strong working relationships across product, design, accessibility, and key stakeholder groups to ensure solutions are technically sound, customer-centric, and aligned to business needs.

At CIBC we enable the work environment most optimal for you to thrive in your role. Details on your work arrangement (proportion of on-site and remote work) will be discussed at the time of your interview.

How You'll Succeed

• Technical Leadership & Delivery: Lead the design, development, and delivery of high-quality React Native applications that are scalable, secure, maintainable, and optimized for performance across iOS and Android.
• Architecture & Engineering Standards: Define and apply modern mobile architecture patterns, reusable component approaches, testing practices, and coding standards that improve quality, consistency, and developer productivity.
• Native Platform Integration: Use your experience in native iOS and/or Android development to guide platform-specific design decisions, integrate native capabilities, and resolve complex technical issues when React Native alone is not sufficient.
• Team Building & Mentorship: Help build and strengthen our development team by mentoring engineers, supporting hiring and technical evaluation, conducting code reviews, and coaching others on React Native best practices.
• Community of Practice: Foster a strong community of React Native developers by sharing knowledge, improving team practices, contributing to standards, and helping create an environment of continuous learning and technical excellence.
• Cross-functional Collaboration & Stakeholder Management: Build strong working relationships with product, design, accessibility, backend, architecture, and delivery teams, and partner closely with stakeholders to translate business needs into practical mobile solutions. You will work collaboratively across these groups to align priorities, resolve trade-offs, and deliver high-impact customer experiences.

Who You Are
