Senior Mobile Engineer

Mattermost is the leading collaborative workflow platform for defense, intelligence, security, and critical infrastructure. Trusted by the U.S. Department of War and Fortune 500s, our platform runs on-premises and in private clouds, delivering secure messaging, file sharing, workflow automation, audio/screenshare, and project management—all with full data and operational control. Mattermost powers high-stakes workflows across mission planning, real-time, real-world operations, Dev Sec Ops , incident response, and cyber defense—enabling secure collaboration from tactical edge and DDIL environments to enterprise HQ.

Teams operate across web, desktop, and mobile, with embedded interoperability for Microsoft Teams, Outlook, and Microsoft 365.

We are seeking a Senior Mobile Engineer to take ownership of the Mattermost mobile experience for teams working in defense, intelligence, and critical infrastructure. Our users operate in DDIL environments where connectivity may be disconnected, denied, intermittent, or limited, security is non-negotiable, and the software they depend on has to keep working.

Our mobile app is primarily React Native and Type Script today, with native iOS and Android integrations. Your immediate focus will be making that experience more reliable and performant. Over time, you'll also help shape the next generation of our cross-platform mobile architecture.

You’ll work hands‑on across application and native layers, partner closely with platform and feature teams, work directly with customer‑facing teams on field reports from constrained environments, and help raise the bar for how we observe, diagnose, and build mobile software.

Reliability and Performance

• Architect the app for DDIL and other constrained network environments
• Improve data and functional reliability across connection lifecycle, synchronization, recovery, and failure scenarios
• Own crash‑free and release‑health outcomes, using telemetry to proactively identify regressions and drive them through diagnosis to resolution
• Profile and improve performance across startup, networking, storage, rendering, memory, and battery usage
• Own critical iOS and Android integrations and the boundaries between native and cross‑platform code
• Maintain and evolve platform capabilities including push notifications, background execution, secure storage, app lifecycle, and real‑time communications
• Build within mobile distribution and device‑management constraints, including App Store, enterprise and MDM deployment, App Config, and Intune MAM
• Diagnose production issues from native traces, telemetry, device profiling, and sparse field logs
• Make architecture recommendations that balance near‑term delivery with the long‑term direction of the mobile platform

Craft and Delivery

• Mentor engineers on mobile architecture, reliability, performance, and platform best practices
• Uphold security and compliance standards required by government and enterprise customers
• Contribute to the open‑source codebase
• Use AI coding tools effectively, applying strong engineering judgment to increase output without compromising reliability or quality

We care about what you’ve built and the problems you’ve solved — not how long you’ve been building. If you have strong outcomes to speak to in mobile engineering, we want to hear from you.

Required:

• Deep expertise in iOS or Android development, with strong working knowledge of the other platform
• Strong understanding of mobile architecture, platform SDKs, lifecycle constraints, and networking fundamentals
• Experience building reliable mobile systems that behave predictably through unreliable connectivity, local state changes, synchronization, and recovery
• Strong mobile performance profiling and…
