Manager - Mobile Software Engineering

Overview

The Mobile Software Engineering Manager will lead a dedicated mobile engineering team responsible for delivering high-quality native iOS and Android applications across our digital product ecosystem—including consumer-facing apps, enterprise tools, and applications that communicate with edge gateway devices. This role blends people management, technical leadership, and delivery ownership, with primary focus on team development, sprint execution, and engineering excellence.

• Lead, mentor, and grow a team of mobile engineers through coaching, feedback, performance management, and career development
• Provide technical leadership through code reviews, architecture decisions, and debugging escalations—serving as an escalation point for complex technical challenges
• Own sprint planning, delivery execution, and predictable delivery outcomes in partnership with Product and Architecture
• Define and enforce mobile engineering best practices across coding standards, documentation, scalability, performance, and maintainability
• Own quality strategy across the development lifecycle—defining testing standards (unit, UI, integration), coverage expectations, and CI/CD quality gates
• Own the full mobile release lifecycle including App Store Connect (iOS) and Google Play Console (Android) management, submission processes, and release coordination
• Lead development of applications that communicate with edge gateway/IoT devices via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), local WiFi, and offline-tolerant architectures
• Collaborate with product managers, architects, firmware teams, backend engineers, and other stakeholder groups to align on priorities and milestones
• Drive platform modernization efforts, maintaining current iOS and Android SDK adoption
• Promote Dev Sec Ops  concepts, mobile CI/CD automation, and secure-by-design engineering practices
• Conduct technical interviews and evaluate candidate technical skills
• Maintain strong communication channels across technical and non-technical teams
• Foster a culture of ownership, accountability, and continuous improvement

Education:

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, or a similar field. Equivalent experience considered

Experience:

• 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with significant mobile development focus
• 3+ years of engineering leadership experience (team lead, tech lead, or people manager)
• Native mobile development experience required (iOS with Swift, Android with Kotlin)
• Experience with mobile-to-device communication patterns required, including BLE, local WiFi connectivity, and offline-first architectures
• React Native experience preferred (legacy codebase transition)
