Lead Mobile Platform Strategy and Execution

  • Establish and run on-call rotations, incident response processes, and a blameless postmortem culture that drives reliability improvements.
  • Define reusable frameworks, SDKs, and platform patterns that accelerate application development across multiple product teams.
  • Partner with Product, Design, AI, Infrastructure, and Business leaders to deliver differentiated mobile experiences.
  • Drive excellence in performance, reliability, security, scalability, and operational rigor across the mobile platform.

Architect Enterprise Mobile Experiences

  • Design mobile platform capabilities for purpose-built enterprise applications across customer service, field service, operations, and productivity workflows.
  • Lead architecture for synchronization, offline-first experiences, notifications, inbox experiences, real-time interactions, and workflow execution.
  • Ensure applications perform reliably in low-connectivity and offline environments while meeting enterprise-grade security, privacy, and compliance requirements.
  • Create seamless experiences across mobile clients, AI services, platform capabilities, and enterprise workflows.

Provide Technical Leadership

  • Lead critical architecture reviews and complex technical decisions across mobile, platform integration, and application layers.
  • Own the mobile build and delivery pipeline, including CI/CD reliability, build speed and test infrastructure.
  • Establish standards for observability, telemetry, mobile performance benchmarking, release quality, and production readiness.
  • Mentor Engineering Managers, Staff Engineers, Principal Engineers, and senior technical contributors.
  • Advance mobile innovation through AI-enabled workflows, modern development practices, and strong engineering fundamentals.
  • 12+ years of software engineering experience with significant experience leading mobile engineering organizations (Android and iOS).
  • 3+ years leading engineering managers or multi-team organizations.
  • Strong technical depth in mobile architecture, APIs, distributed systems, cloud-native services, networking, security, data synchronization, and MAM/MDM enterprise integrations.
  • Track record building and scaling enterprise-grade mobile applications or mobile platforms used at large scale.
  • Experience managing Engineering Managers and senior technical leaders.

Specific AI skills we value

  • Experience building or integrating generative AI, LLM-powered experiences, AI agents, or copilots into mobile or enterprise applications.
  • Working knowledge of RAG, prompt engineering, agent orchestration, tool use, evaluation frameworks, guardrails, and AI safety principles.
  • Familiarity with AI platforms and frameworks such as Azure AI, OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, LangChain, Semantic Kernel, or comparable ecosystems.
  • Understanding of on-device AI patterns, small language models, speech or vision models, real-time inference constraints, and mobile latency tradeoffs.
  • Experience applying AI to engineering productivity, including code generation, test generation, automated review, incident analysis, or quality automation.
  • Ability to translate emerging AI capabilities into practical, secure, enterprise-grade mobile workflows.
