Mobile Software Engineer

Discussion

Build features for client's iOS and Android apps used by millions of customers globally. The mobile team covers both platforms and engineers with cross-platform experience (React Native or Kotlin Multiplatform) are especially valuable alongside native iOS and Android specialists.

What you will do:

  • Ship new features for client's iOS and/or Android apps using AI-assisted development tooling.
  • Participate in the mobile modernization effort, contributing to app architecture improvements and new platform capabilities.
  • Write maintainable, well-tested mobile code and own features from design spec through app store release.
  • Collaborate with designers and backend engineers to integrate new APIs and product experiences.
  • Use Claude Code or equivalent AI tooling daily for code generation, refactoring, and test automation.
  • Contribute to cross-platform tooling and shared component libraries as the mobile platform evolves.
  • Fluent in English
  • 8+ years in Software Engineering.
  • Fully autonomous; drives technical decisions within the team; mentors junior engineers.
  • Cross-platform mobile experience with React Native or Kotlin Multiplatform.
  • Experience shipping apps to the App Store and/or Google Play.
  • Understanding of mobile architecture patterns such as MVVM or Clean Architecture.
  • AI-driven SDLC (required): hands-on experience shipping production code with AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or Cursor. The bar is not awareness; it is daily use in delivering real software.
  • Familiarity with .NET/C#, Go, Python, Java, React, MS SQL Server, Azure or AWS.
  • Full-stack awareness: comfortable contributing across layers of the stack when needed; purely single-layer specialists are not the target profile.
  • Production ownership: experience owning features end-to-end from spec through deployment and ongoing operations.
  • Code quality fundamentals: strong grasp of software design principles, automated testing, code review, and CI/CD.

Nice-to-have skills:

  • Contributions to internal developer tooling, golden path standards, or SDLC process improvements.
  • Experience with e-commerce platforms, product catalogs, or high-traffic consumer applications.
  • Experience working in distributed teams across different timezones and countries.
  • Selected candidates will be invited to take part in several rounds of interviews.
  • The role is expected to be full time and ideal candidates should be looking for a long term engagement.
  • A background check will be required as part of the onboarding process.
