Additionally, the team owns the code that powers key user experiences, including sign-up, account management, app creation, and third-party integrations with Ditto's technology.

Your role will involve leading a team of engineers to develop highly scalable, performant, and user-friendly applications. You will collaborate with product managers, designers, and engineers to deliver seamless experiences across web and mobile platforms.

5. Deploy and Maintain Mobile Apps: Oversee the development and deployment of iOS and Android applications, ensuring smooth submission processes to the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
6. Foster Culture: Set an example by cultivating a culture of trust, collaboration, and continual improvement aligned with Ditto's core values.

What You'll Need:

• Management Experience: 3+ years managing software engineering teams, including responsibilities like hiring, performance management, and career development.
• Technical Expertise: 5+ years of experience in front-end and/or mobile development, with a strong understanding of modern frameworks, state management, and performance optimization.
• Mobile App Development: Proven track record of shipping mobile apps, including familiarity with deployment processes for the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
• Full-Stack Architecture: Experience designing and implementing scalable, component-driven front-end systems and well-structured back-end services, ensuring maintainability and performance.
• Modern Tooling & Pipelines: Solid understanding of front-end build tools (Webpack, Gradle, Xcode, etc.) and CI/CD pipelines for mobile applications.
• Collaborative Leadership: Proven ability to manage remote, distributed teams with strong asynchronous communication skills. Exceptional written and verbal communication to effectively convey complex ideas and align team efforts.
• Proactive Leadership: A high level of self-direction, autonomy, and responsibility in leading teams and driving projects forward.

Nice to Haves:

• Experience building or working with no-code/low-code platforms.
