AI Summary

Lead the design, development, and delivery of cross-platform mobile applications while defining architecture and coding standards. Mentor mobile engineers and oversee the end-to-end release process, including CI/CD pipelines and quality assurance.

This is a remote position.

OUR OPPORTUNITY

We are looking for a Mobile Lead Engineer to drive the development of modern, scalable, and user-centric cross-platform mobile applications for iOS and Android.

This role combines strong hands-on development expertise with leadership responsibilities, guiding mobile engineers and ensuring high-quality, performant, and secure applications from a single shared codebase. The ideal candidate is passionate about clean architecture, design systems, and delivering seamless mobile experiences in complex, data-driven environments.

YOU WILL

»       Lead the design, development, and delivery of cross-platform mobile applications for iOS and Android.

»       Define and enforce mobile architecture, state management patterns, coding standards, and best practices.

»       Mentor, coach, and manage mobile engineers, supporting their growth and performance.

»       Collaborate closely with UX/UI, Product, Backend, and QA teams to deliver high-quality solutions.

»       Drive the adoption and evolution of a shared component library and consistent design language across both platforms.

»       Own runtime theming and configuration, so branding and enabled features can be configured rather than forked per build.

»       Ensure applications meet accessibility standards on both platforms.

»       Own mobile security posture — secure storage, certificate pinning, biometric authentication, root/jailbreak detection, and safe token handling.

»       Integrate mobile applications with backend REST APIs and OAuth2 / OpenID Connect authentication flows.

»       Optimize application performance, startup time, rendering, battery and network efficiency.

»       Own the release process end to end: build pipelines, code signing, App Store and Google Play submission, phased rollout and crash monitoring.

»       Oversee code reviews, technical decisions, and quality assurance processes.

»       Stay up to date with the latest mobile technologies, framework releases, and industry trends.



Requirements

»       TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN THE ROLE YOU NEED

 

»       Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.

»       7–10 years of experience in mobile development, with at least 2–3 years in a lead role.

»       Strong proficiency in Flutter and Dart, or in React Native and TypeScript, with a willingness to work in either.

»       Proven experience shipping and maintaining production cross-platform applications on both the App Store and Google Play.

»       Working knowledge of the underlying native platforms — enough to write platform channels or native modules, debug platform-specific issues, and manage Xcode and Gradle build configuration.

»       Strong understanding of mobile architecture patterns and state management (Bloc, Riverpod, Provider, Redux, or equivalents) in a modular app structure.

»       Solid grasp of mobile security best practices and secure handling of sensitive data on device.

»       Experience with RESTful API integration, offline handling, and background synchronization.

»       Experience with mobile CI/CD (Fastlane, GitLab CI, or similar) and automated build and signing.

»       Familiarity with mobile testing (widget/component tests, integration tests, and device-farm or emulator-based E2E).

»       Experience with version control systems (Git) and Agile/Scrum environments.

»       Excellent leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills.
