Role Overview
We are seeking a high-performing Engineering Manager (Mobile) with comprehensive, end-to-end requirement-to-delivery experience. In this role, you will transition from individual contribution to managing a high-caliber team of mobile engineers, including Team Leads and Staff Engineers.
You will own the technical architecture, cross-platform development, native modules, UI styling frameworks, and API integrations for our iOS and Android applications. As a delivery and people leader, you will be entirely responsible for the Concept-to-Store lifecycle, ensuring our mobile booking engines scale to handle peak OTA traffic with maximum uptime.
Core Responsibilities:
Delivery, Architecture & Technical Strategy
End-to-End Requirement to Delivery Ownership :
Take total accountability for the mobile roadmap from initial product requirement scoping to final store deployment. Ensure predictable sprint velocities and on-time delivery across multiple parallel tracks.
Architectural Governance :
Oversee and approve client-side mobile architectures. Guide the team on when to leverage cross-platform modules (React Native) versus writing native performance bridges (Swift/Kotlin).
API & Data Orchestration Strategy :
Enforce robust security and performance standards for data layers interacting with RESTful APIs, GraphQL (Apollo Client), and real-time Web Sockets. Ensure seamless optimization for low-bandwidth environments.
Mar Tech Ecosystem & Routing :
Oversee the integration and performance impact of Mobile Measurement Partners (MMPs like Apps Flyer/Branch), customer engagement platforms (e.g., Clever Tap, Braze), and ensure flawless execution of complex deep linking/universal links across the booking funnel.
Release Train, CI/CD & OTA Updates :
Orchestrate continuous delivery and automated release tracks using Fastlane and Git Hub Actions. Manage Over-The-Air (OTA) update strategies (e.g., Code Push or EAS Update) to rapidly deploy JavaScript bundles and hotfix critical production bugs without waiting for Apple/Google store review cycles.
App Store Ecosystem & Policy Governance :
Act as the final gatekeeper for App Store Connect and Google Play Console. Navigate complex store review guidelines, manage rejection appeals, and ensure the app stays compliant with evolving platform policies.
Scalability & Traffic Spikes :
Design robust, high-concurrency client architectures capable of handling sudden, massive traffic surges typical of B2C flash sales, holiday booking rushes, and flash marketing events without degradation.
Leading Elite Mobile Teams & Culture
Managing High-Performer Dynamics :
Successfully lead, inspire, and retain an elite team of highly skilled developers. Turn divergent technical opinions among senior engineers into unified architectural decisions.
Product & Stakeholder Partnership :
Act as the strategic counterpart to Product Managers and UX/UI Leads. Translate business requirements into technical roadmaps, negotiate sprint scopes, and ensure engineering deliverables align tightly with OTA business KPIs (conversion rates, booking funnel optimization).
Engineering Craftsmanship :
Promote a high-standard engineering culture focused on code quality, thorough documentation, reusable UI component libraries, and automated testing (Jest, Detox, Appium).
Technical Debt & ROI Management :
Strategically balance feature delivery with technical debt. Advocate for engineering refactors by translating technical gains (e.g., modularization) into clear business value for non-technical stakeholders.
Talent Cultivation & Growth :
Run quarterly performance reviews, establish clear individual career ladders, and mentor team leads. Design rigorous interview loops to attract top-tier mobile talent in a competitive market.
