Job summary

Publicis Sapient, a digital transformation partner, seeks a Senior Manager, Mobile Architect to lead architecture and delivery of enterprise-scale mobile platforms across iOS and Android. You will shape mobility strategy, collaborate with enterprise teams, and drive secure, scalable solutions that align with client impact.

The role requires strong technical leadership, cross-functional collaboration, and a focus on performance, security, and accelerated delivery.

Qualifications

Extensive experience building and scaling enterprise mobile applications across iOS and Android.
Proven experience defining and implementing large-scale mobile architectures (modular, multi-team, platform-driven).
Deep understanding of mobile system design, performance optimization, and background processing capabilities.
Experience designing and integrating mobile platforms with enterprise backend systems and APIs (REST, GraphQL, etc.).
Strong experience with CI/CD pipelines, release governance, and application lifecycle management.
Experience implementing security best practices in mobile platforms, including dependency management and secrets handling.
Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional teams and align engineering outcomes with business goals.
Experience working in Agile environments with distributed teams and complex delivery landscapes.
Strong communication and stakeholder management skills across technical and non-technical audiences.

Responsibilities

Lead and govern a scalable, multi-module mobile platform architecture (iOS and Android) enabling multiple cross-functional teams to deliver independently and in parallel.
Define and drive architectural patterns for intelligent mobile clients, including local orchestration engines, autonomous task execution, and seamless cloud interaction.
Direct the execution of high-precision, battery-optimized location-aware systems, including background tracking and geofencing capabilities.
Architect platform-native, on-demand delivery strategies integrated with OTA configuration to optimize binary size, improve release velocity, and decouple personalization from app store cycles.
Partner with enterprise architects to design secure, high-throughput integration layers (e.g., REST, GraphQL) across payment systems, loyalty platforms, and distributed backend services.
Establish and govern release management practices, including release trains, feature toggle lifecycle, kill-switch protocols, branching strategies, and environment promotion gates.
Embed security, dependency auditing, and secrets management into CI/CD pipelines while overseeing app store governance (phased releases, expedited reviews, version deprecation).
Collaborate with leadership across Mobile Engineering, AI/Data Science, Product, UX/UI, and Security to translate business roadmaps into technical execution strategies.
Design and implement a token-driven UI architecture that integrates design primitives into platform-native code, enabling consistency and faster delivery across teams.
Leverage AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude) and agentic workflows to accelerate development and reduce repetitive tasks.
Partner with platform and data teams to ensure adoption of APM, error reporting, and analytics standards while enforcing performance and quality gates.
Champion the integration of on-device ML models and local inference capabilities to deliver low-latency, privacy-first user experiences.
Build and develop high-performing engineering teams through mentorship, coaching, and fostering a culture of continuous learning and collaboration.
