Mobile Solutions Architect

We are seeking a highly skilled Mobile Solutions Architect to join our team in a hands‑on, high‑impact role focused on bridging the gap between business and product engineering. This role turns business requirements into clear technical direction for our native iOS and Android applications, ensures mobile systems and architecture are designed correctly, and enables engineering teams to execute efficiently.

• Own the architecture of native iOS (Swift/SwiftUI) and Android (Kotlin/Jetpack Compose) applications, defining module boundaries, state management, navigation, and dependency injection.
• Translate business requirements into clear technical designs, screen flows, and API contracts for development teams.
• Review and validate technical approaches before development begins; conduct design reviews for complex features.
• Identify risks and edge cases early, including offline behavior, background execution, OS fragmentation, and permission states.
• Ensure proper integrations between mobile apps, backend services, CRM, payment systems, and third‑party SDKs.
• Collaborate with executive leadership, business stakeholders, and product owners to assess feasibility and define scope for new mobile initiatives.
• Partner with product owners to convert business requirements into developer‑ready tickets, defining acceptance criteria and platform‑specific behaviors.
• Sequence technical delivery around mobile realities, including store review timelines, phased rollouts, and minimum‑supported‑OS policies.
• Support mobile developers by unblocking technical issues and providing hands‑on guidance across both iOS and Android platforms.
• Occasionally contribute code in Swift or Kotlin to resolve blockers preventing progress.
• Own mobile release engineering, CI/CD automation pipelines (Fastlane, Git Hub Actions, Bitrise, Xcode Cloud), code signing, and store deployment processes.
• Oversee app reliability and performance metrics (crash‑free rates, cold‑start time, app size) using Crashlytics, Sentry, App Store Connect, and Google Play Console.
• Provide clear updates, risk assessments, and architectural recommendations to the CTO and technology leaders.
• Translate effectively between mobile engineering and non‑technical teams regarding launch impacts, OS deprecations, or store policy changes.
• Champion scalable, maintainable mobile architecture, privacy standards, and store compliance (App Store Guidelines, Google Play policies).

• 7+ years of experience in software development or engineering, with at least 4+ years dedicated to building and shipping native mobile applications.
• Deep hands‑on technical experience with both iOS (Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit) and Android (Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Android SDK) platforms.
• Hands‑on experience with mobile cross‑platform patterns and modern technologies like Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP).
• Track record of shipping, maintaining, and updating live consumer applications in the Apple App Store and Google Play.
• Strong technical knowledge of mobile API design, REST/gRPC protocols, authentication standards (OAuth 2.0, biometric auth), and offline persistence (Core Data/Swift Data, Room/SQLite).
• Solid grasp of backend system integration, relational databases (MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL), and No
  
  SQL databases (MongoDB, Redis).
• Expertise in mobile security, including Keychain/Keystore management, certificate pinning, secure storage of sensitive customer data, and OWASP mobile security principles.
• Experience with push notification infrastructure (APNs, FCM), deep linking, feature flagging, and mobile analytics.
• Hands‑on experience with mobile CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, Git strategies, and AI coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Codex).
• Experience working in fast‑paced, multi‑system…
