Job description

Engineering Manager – Frontend (Mobile & Web)

Experience: 5–8 years

Reports to:

Head of Engineering

About the role

You will own every screen a borrower, partner or internal user touches: the borrower app(Android/iOS), web loan journeys, the DSA/partner portal, and ops dashboards for credit, collections and customer support. Your work directly drives conversion from lead to disbursal, so speed, trust and drop-off are your core metrics. You stay hands-on (roughly40–50%) while leading the team.

What you will do

• Own frontend architecture across mobile and web: a shared design system, reusable journey components and a config-driven flow engine so new loan products and lenders launch without rewrites.
• Build high-conversion onboarding: OTP login, consent capture, KYC (Aadhaar, PAN, selfie/liveness, Video KYC SDKs), Account Aggregator consent, bank account verification, eNACH/UPI AutoPay mandate set-up and e-sign.
• Deliver compliant borrower experiences: KFS and APR display before acceptance ,cooling-off/exit options, loan statements, grievance flows, and clear lender (NBFC) disclosure on every screen per RBI Digital Lending rules.
• Keep the app lean and secure: minimal permissions (no contacts/media access),root/jailbreak detection, SSL pinning, secure storage, obfuscation, and DPDP-compliant consent handling.
• Drive performance on low-end Android devices and patchy networks: app size, cold-start time, crash-free rate, offline/retry handling.
• Instrument every funnel with product analytics and run A/B tests with Product andGrowth to reduce drop-offs.
• Set standards for code review, testing (unit, integration, E2E), release management,feature flags, staged rollouts and Play Store/App Store compliance (including GooglePlay's personal loan app policy).
• Hire, mentor and grow frontend engineers; run 1:1s and performance reviews.

What you bring

• 5–8 years in frontend/mobile engineering, including 1.5+ years leading a team owning a consumer app end to end.
• Deep expertise in React Native or Flutter, plus strong React/Next.js and TypeScript for web.
• Native awareness (Kotlin/Swift) to integrate KYC, payment and device SDKs and debug native crashes.
• State management, offline-first patterns, deep linking, push notifications and WebView bridges.
• CI/CD for mobile (Fastlane, Bitrise, GitHub Actions), OTA updates(CodePush/Shorebird), crash and performance tooling (Firebase Crashlytics, Sentry).
• Shipped a consumer fintech, lending, payments or banking app at scale in India.
• Strong product sense and close working style with designers and backend teams.

Nice to have

• Built a server-driven UI or low-code journey builder.
• Experience with micro-frontends or white-label/SDK journeys embedded in partner apps.
• Accessibility, vernacular (multi-language) support and Tier 2/3 user research.
• Mobile app security audits (OWASP MASVS) and VAPT remediation.
