In this role, you will:

• Lead mobile engineering teams delivering reliable, scalable native applications and shared mobile platform capabilities across multiple product domains.
• Set technical direction for mobile architecture, including system design, low-level design, API design, data modeling, integration patterns, and maintainable implementation practices across iOS and Android.
• Build and develop a high-performing, distributed engineering organization through hiring, performance management, mentoring, career development, skill planning, and clear alignment to customer and business outcomes.
• Partner with Product, Design, Architecture, Quality, Operations, App Release, Security, and business teams to shape roadmaps, manage dependencies, and deliver measurable product and platform outcomes.
• Establish predictable release and operational practices across the App Store and Google Play, improving software quality, observability, release safety, incident response, performance, accessibility, and customer-impacting reliability.
• Safely integrate and operate AI/ML-enabled solutions that improve engineering and product outcomes, applying AI-driven tools and workflows appropriately within mobile experiences and engineering platforms.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 8+ years of relevant professional experience and 3+ years of people-management experience, including leadership of mobile engineering teams delivering production applications through the App Store and Google Play.
• Experience owning engineering outcomes across multiple services or a substantial mobile technology domain, including architecture, roadmap delivery, reliability, operational performance, maintenance, and technical investment.
• Strong knowledge of mobile software development across iOS, Android, and shared mobile capabilities, including system design, low-level design, API design, data modeling, testing, deployment, release management, and production operations.
• Experience developing technical strategy, managing capacity and staffing, influencing cross-functional stakeholders, and leading teams through complex engineering and product initiatives.
• Familiarity with AI-driven systems, tools, or workflows and applying AI/ML concepts to real world products, including safely integrating AI-enabled capabilities into mobile experiences or engineering platforms.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience leading architecture and engineering strategy for large-scale native mobile platforms serving multiple products or domains, with the ability to apply mobile expertise across varied technical and organizational contexts.
• Demonstrated success improving operational excellence through observability, incident management, release automation, quality practices, phased rollouts, rollback and hotfix processes, and data-driven engineering decisions.
• Experience building adaptable, high-performing engineering teams and establishing practices that improve delivery velocity, technical quality, developer effectiveness, and resource utilization.
• Experience using product, customer, and operational data-including crash-free users, startup and time-to-interactive performance, ANR or freeze rates, adoption, experiment health, and customer-impacting defects-to prioritize investments and guide technical decisions.
