Software Engineering Manager, Mobile

ABOUT THE JOB

Come help RADAR redefine the retail experience by leading our Android and iOS efforts. As Software Engineering Manager for Mobile, you will own the strategy, architecture, and delivery of the apps that put real-time inventory intelligence in the hands of store associates and managers around the world. You will work closely with product, design, hardware, and platform teams to ship software that makes a measurable difference in how the world's largest retailers operate.

This is a role for someone who leads through execution, drives quality at pace, and raises the bar for the engineers around them.

Responsibilities:

* Lead a team of mobile engineers building native Android and iOS applications used daily in retail environments.

* Partner with product and design to define the mobile roadmap, set engineering priorities, and deliver with quality and consistency.

* Drive architecture decisions that balance speed of iteration with long-term maintainability across platforms, including client infrastructure efforts that help us scale across the product.

* Establish and evolve engineering practices including code review, testing standards, and deployment processes.

* Develop engineers through coaching, clear expectations, and hands-on technical engagement.

* Collaborate with firmware, platform, and integration teams to surface real-time RFID data through intuitive mobile experiences, including direct integration with RFID readers.

* Work cross-functionally with product managers and UX designers to shape the user experience from concept through delivery.

* Communicate progress, risks, and tradeoffs clearly to engineering leadership and cross-functional stakeholders.

* Help set the cultural tone for the team around teamwork and innovation, and contribute to our broader engineering strategy.

ABOUT YOU

You are an experienced engineering leader who has shipped production mobile applications and built the teams behind them. You care deeply about code quality and user experience, and you bring a clear point of view on how to build software that holds up in demanding, real-world environments. You not only optimize your own work but create the conditions for your engineers to do their best work too.

You lead with empathy, communicate with candor, and deliver.

Required:

* Bachelor's degree in a technical field, or equivalent practical experience.

* 8+ years of software engineering experience.

* 5+ years of experience with iOS or Android mobile development.

* 3+ years in an engineering management or team lead role.

* Strong technical foundation in mobile architecture patterns, testing practices, and CI/CD pipelines.

* Track record of delivering complex projects on time in a fast-moving product environment.

* Clear, direct communicator with experience working across product, design, and infrastructure teams.

Preferred:

* Experience in enterprise, B2B, or operational mobile applications used in field or retail settings.

* Familiarity with Bluetooth, NFC, or RFID-based data flows in mobile contexts, including device-level integration with RFID readers.

* Proficiency in both Android (Kotlin) and iOS (Swift) development.

* Experience with Kotlin Multiplatform, React Native, or other cross-platform approaches.

* Background in hardware-integrated software products.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

In your first 30 days, you will:

Learn and Orient

* Meet your team and establish working relationships with key cross-functional partners across product, design, firmware, and platform engineering.

* Get hands-on with the codebase: understand the current mobile architecture, CI/CD setup, and open work in flight.

* Review the existing roadmap and backlog; understand current commitments and near-term delivery expectations.

* Identify the top two or three execution risks facing the team and bring a point of view on how to address them.

In your first 60 days, you will:

Engage and Deliver

* Take ownership of team delivery: run planning, own the sprint cadence, and hold the team accountable to commitments.

* Establish clear engineering standards where gaps exist: code review expectations, testing coverage, and release process.

* Ship at least one meaningful feature or…
