About the Role

As a Lead Software Engineer (Mobile Applications), you'll guide a cross-functional mobile engineering squad whilst still contributing to our codebase. About a third of your time will be spent coding alongside your team, with the rest focused on leadership and technical direction.
You'll design and architect responsive mobile user experiences, optimize cross-platform performance, and implement seamless integrations for our React Native applications. When Product Managers bring new ideas, you'll translate their business requirements into intuitive mobile experiences and streamlined user journeys. You'll establish technical standards and best practices that balance code sharing with platform-specific optimizations across iOS and Android ecosystems. Making key architectural decisions, you'll weigh the benefits of cross-platform consistency against platform-specific performance needs.
Leading a team of two engineers, you'll mentor them through code reviews, pair programming, and technical guidance. You'll set mobile development standards that ensure reliability across device types and operating systems, championing practices like Test-Driven Development and Clean Code because you understand their real-world benefits.
You'll implement robust CI/CD pipelines specific to mobile development, ensuring consistent quality across app store releases while accelerating time-to-market. Working with our QA team, you'll create testing strategies that ensure reliability across a diverse range of devices and operating systems.
