Key Responsibilities:10+ years of hands‑on experience in native iOS application development using Swift, including 3+ years in a formal engineering management or technical lead role directly managing mobile engineers.
Exposure to Android development (Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, or Android architecture components) is needed, especially for guiding a mixed iOS/Android team or evaluating cross‑platform trade-offs.
Proven experience leading teams that build mission‑critical, offline‑first mobile applications.
Ability to partner with Product/PM to translate customer requirements into a roadmap, then drive the team to deliver against it.
Experience using tools like Instabug/Firebase to triage production issues, guide root‑cause investigation, and coach engineers through customer‑impacting bugs.
Strong understanding of mobile architecture patterns such as MVVM and Clean Architecture — enough to review designs, set technical direction, and unblock the team, even if not writing production code daily.
Working knowledge of RESTful API integration, data synchronization, and secure authentication mechanisms, sufficient to guide architectural trade-offs and review technical designs.
Working knowledge of Web Views and ability to use it efficiently.
Strong grounding in debugging, performance optimization, and memory management — enough to mentor engineers through hard problems and make sound trade‑off calls.
Demonstrated experience leading mobile development initiatives, establishing engineering best practices, hiring, and growing a team — required for this role.
Experience with performance management, 1:1s, career development planning, and cross‑functional stakeholder communication.
Experience with hybrid/cross‑platform mobile frameworks — such as Flutter, React Native, or Ionic/Capacitor — is needed and useful for evaluating build‑vs‑buy and native‑vs‑hybrid strategy decisions.
