Job Description
Role Description
Build and scale next-generation mobile experiences by operating as an innovation engineer, not just a feature implementer. In this role, you’ll turn ambiguous ideas into validated, high-impact mobile solutions — balancing rapid experimentation with long-term platform stability and scalability.
You’ll play a key role in shaping what gets built, why it matters, and how it can scale across mobile ecosystems. Working at the intersection of product discovery, platform evolution, and technical experimentation, you’ll apply deep mobile expertise to both strategy and execution — influencing mobile direction as much as you ship code.
This is a hands-on role for builders who thrive in uncertainty, enjoy early-stage problem solving, and want to leave a lasting mark on mobile platforms. This is not a traditional mobile delivery role.
- Work in high-ambiguity environments
- Build prototypes before roadmaps
- Validate assumptions through experiments, data, and learning
- Help transition validated concepts into scalable, production-grade systems
Qualifications
- 5+ years of professional mobile development experience; experience working with diverse technology stacks and multiple projects preferred
- Proven experience across both exploration (early-stage) and exploitation (scaled delivery) preferred
- Native mobile development (Swift/SwiftUI for iOS and/or Kotlin for Android)
- Cross-platform development frameworks (React Native, Flutter, or similar)
- Mobile application architecture and design patterns (MVVM, MVC, Clean Architecture)
- API integration, mobile networking, and data synchronization
- Lifecycle management, memory management, diagnostics, and performance optimization
- Proven track record to work effectively with incomplete or evolving requirements
- Strong problem-framing and systems-thinking skills
- Experience building prototypes or proof-of-concepts—not just production features
- Curious approach with a bias toward experimentation and learning
- Ability to articulate why a solution works, not just how it’s built
- Proven track record of delivering production mobile applications with high quality and performance
- Deep understanding of iOS and Android platform capabilities, limitations, and guidelines
- Experience with mobile development tools and IDEs (Xcode, Android Studio)
- Strong problem-solving skills for complex technical challenges
- Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to non-technical collaborators
- Mobile analytics (such as Firebase, Crashlytics), experimentation, and observability tooling
- Experience with feature flags, phased rollouts, or experimentation platforms
- Exposure to emerging mobile technologies (AI-enabled UX, AR, sensors, wearables)
- Contributions to open-source, side projects, or experimental work
- Experience with mobile database solutions (Core Data, Room, Realm, SQLite)
- Understanding of mobile security guidelines and common vulnerabilities
- Experience with mobile CI/CD tools (Fastlane, Jenkins, GitHub Actions)
- Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) for mobile backends
- Experience with augmented reality (ARKit, ARCore) or other emerging mobile technologies
- Understanding of app store submission and review processes
Requirements
- Minimum: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent experience
- Preferred: Master’s degree or equivalent experience with a demonstrated innovation portfolio (prototypes, experiments, published apps)
- Certifications: Platform-specific certifications (Apple Developer certification, Google Associate Android Developer), and relevant technology certifications are valuable
- Equivalent Experience: Outstanding portfolios showing sustained innovation impact may substitute for formal education.
Benefits
- Group Health Programs including Medical, Dental, Vision, Health Savings Account (HSA), Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA), Basic Life/AD&D Short-Term and Long-Term Disability, and an Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
- Other Voluntary Benefit Programs including a 401(k) plan, Wellness Incentive Program, Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), Supplemental Life/Critical Illness/Hospitalization/Accident Insurance, and Pet Insurance
- Paid time off including Company-observed U.S. Holidays, Floating Holidays, Vacation, Sick Time, a Volunteer Program, Paid Maternity and Paternity Leave, Bereavement Leave, Personal Leave and time off for voting
