Job Summary
Build rapid prototypes and validate assumptions through experiments, data, and learning to turn ambiguous ideas into high-impact mobile solutions. Partner with product, data, and business teams to frame problems, lead discovery sprints, and influence mobile architecture decisions for native and cross-platform platforms. Write maintainable code, optimize performance, and support the transition of validated concepts into scalable, production-grade systems using CI/CD and automated testing.
Required Qualifications
- 5+ years of professional mobile development experience
- 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)
- 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
- Minimum: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent experience
Desired Qualifications
- experience working with diverse technology stacks and multiple projects preferred
- Proven experience across both exploration (early-stage) and exploitation (scaled delivery) 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
- Contributions to open-source, side projects, or experimental work
- Equivalent Experience: Outstanding portfolios showing sustained innovation impact may substitute for formal education
