You'll lead development efforts across both iOS and Android platforms, ensuring robust, secure, and seamless experiences from first launch to ongoing engagement.
What You’ll Do
- Drive full lifecycle development with a focus on secure-by-design principles, automated testing, code reviews, and reliable deployment workflows.
- Provide technical leadership and mentorship to fellow engineers, helping shape best practices and elevate team-wide engineering quality.
- Own the delivery and integrity of complex mobile initiatives, ensuring solutions meet performance, scalability, and stakeholder requirements.
- Work closely with cross-functional teams to design and implement backend-integrated mobile architectures that support long-term growth.
- Identify and act on opportunities to modernize systems, improve tooling, and refine development processes across the engineering organization.
- Support a resilient production environment through on-call responsibilities and proactive issue resolution.
What We’re Looking For
- Proven expertise in native iOS (Swift or Objective-C) and Android (Kotlin or Java) development, with deep understanding of platform-specific behaviors, lifecycle management, permissions, and app store compliance.
- Experience designing secure, maintainable mobile architectures that interact efficiently with backend microservices.
- Strong familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, version control, automated testing frameworks, and performance profiling tools.
- Excellent debugging, optimization, and problem-solving abilities, particularly within large, established codebases.
- A track record of mentoring developers and contributing to engineering standards and knowledge sharing.
Nice to Have
- Experience working with C++ in mobile or game development contexts.
