Overview

Staff Mobile Engineer We’re looking for a Staff Engineer to help shape the future of our iOS and Android applications, used daily by a growing community of customers. This is a role for someone who loves building polished, high-performance mobile experiences and has the technical vision to set direction for years to come. You’ll be both a hands-on engineer and a strategic leader—contributing directly to key features while also guiding architecture, patterns, and long-term technical decisions. Your work will ensure our apps are fast, reliable, and delightful to use, while also helping our team grow and scale effectively.

Guide Architecture: Lead the design of major cross-platform initiatives, creating scalable solutions that balance speed of delivery with long-term sustainability. Collaborate Broadly: Work closely with product, design, and platform teams to deliver cohesive experiences across mobile. Modernize the Stack: Drive efforts to replace older shared code with native implementations that improve maintainability and user experience. Plan & Prioritize: Lead technical discovery, provide effort estimates, and clearly communicate trade-offs and risks. Champion Best Practices: Introduce new frameworks, tools, and patterns that improve developer productivity and product quality. Promote Consistency: Establish shared standards and design patterns across mobile platforms while respecting platform-specific norms. Mentor & Coach: Support engineers at all levels, fostering growth and raising the technical bar across the team. User-Centric Mindset: Translate business and design goals into technical solutions that enhance the customer experience. Who You Are
