You will balance React Native/Expo against native Swift/Kotlin, collaborate with Product and Design, and help shape engineering culture for a fast-growing remote-first team.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of software development experience, with significant experience building and operating production mobile applications.
• Strong experience building consumer-facing applications for iOS and/or Android.
• Demonstrated experience taking a mobile or consumer product from its earliest stages through launch.
• Experience leading the architecture and delivery of significant mobile products or major application features.
• Strong experience with React Native and/or native iOS or Android development.
• Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.

Responsibilities

• Lead the architecture and development of a greenfield iOS and Android consumer application from its earliest stages through launch and scale.
• Act as one of the foundational builders of the product, taking broad ownership across technology, product execution, and the decisions required to move from concept to a successful consumer application.
• Operate with a high degree of autonomy, rapidly prototyping ideas, validating technical approaches, making pragmatic tradeoffs, and turning ambiguous product opportunities into shipped experiences.
• Help make foundational technology decisions, including the appropriate balance between React Native/Expo and native Swift/Kotlin development.
• Build a polished, responsive, and highly intuitive consumer experience with a strong focus on performance, usability, interaction design, and attention to detail.
• Partner closely with Product and Design to translate ambitious product ideas into exceptional mobile experiences.
• Contribute beyond implementation by helping shape product direction, identifying opportunities, challenging assumptions, and using customer feedback and real-world usage to improve the product.
• Establish mobile engineering standards, architecture patterns, development workflows, testing strategies, observability, and release processes.
• Design and implement core mobile capabilities, including camera and photo library interactions, image-heavy experiences, gestures, animations, sharing, notifications, deep linking, and application lifecycle management.
• Identify areas where native platform APIs or implementations provide meaningful advantages and build or guide the development of native modules where appropriate.
• Own application performance, reliability, startup time, memory usage, rendering performance, and behaviour across a wide range of iOS and Android devices.
• Work closely with backend, computer vision, and AI teams to integrate Leap Tools' existing capabilities into a seamless consumer experience.
• Provide technical leadership through architecture reviews, code reviews, prototyping, and hands‑on development.
• Mentor engineers and help build out a high‑performing mobile engineering team as the product grows.
• Help shape our long‑term mobile engineering strategy and engineering culture.
• Participate in hiring and help define the skills and capabilities required as the team expands.
