Head of Mobile (Angular + Capacitor → Native iOS/Android)
First seen by Alion on Nov 13, 2026.
We’re looking for a Head of Mobile to take full technical ownership. Your first priority is to stabilize the current app and make delivery predictable. Next, you’ll design and lead a phased move to native iOS and Android apps, done safely and without a risky big-bang rewrite.
This role suits a hands-on technical leader who enjoys bringing order to a complex system and wants a real say in the product’s long-term mobile architecture.
What you’ll do
Audit the current app, team, and delivery process, and build a clear stabilization roadmap
Resolve critical defects and reduce technical debt in priority order
Own reliability of offline sync, local storage, background execution, and native integrations
Set up code review, automated testing, release, and incident management standards
Improve monitoring and observability (Crashlytics, logging, root-cause analysis)
Define and track mobile engineering KPIs, and communicate risks and decisions to business stakeholders
Lead, mentor, and grow the mobile team, and define hiring needs
Align delivery with Product, Backend, QA, Design, and DevOps
Introduce secure, well-governed AI-assisted workflows for code analysis, testing, review, and documentation
Prepare the architecture and roadmap for the future native iOS/Android transition
What we’re looking for
Strong hands-on experience with Angular, TypeScript, and Capacitor
Proven ownership of complex production mobile apps on iOS and Android
Practical experience with offline-first architecture: sync, queues, retries, conflict resolution, SQLite / local persistence
Experience with native integrations: push notifications, geolocation, background tasks, files, camera, biometrics
Solid testing practice (unit, integration, E2E) and CI/CD experience, including App Store and Google Play releases
Understanding of REST and WebSocket; gRPC / Protocol Buffers is a plus
Knowledge of mobile security and secure authentication
Architectural understanding of Swift/SwiftUI and Kotlin/Jetpack Compose
Experience leading a mobile team: roadmap ownership, hiring, mentoring
Practical experience using AI tools in engineering, with attention to security and output validation
Nice to have
Experience migrating a hybrid app to native iOS/Android
Deep expertise in Swift/SwiftUI or Kotlin/Jetpack Compose
Background in field-service, logistics, or CRM apps with complex offline behavior
Experience with maps, GPS, and background location
Experience scaling or transforming a mobile engineering team
Tech stack
Angular, TypeScript, Capacitor, RxJS, Jest, SQLite, REST, WebSocket, gRPC, GitHub Actions, Fastlane, Firebase, Crashlytics, Mixpanel, Jira, Confluence

Fully remote work
Full-time schedule, Monday to Friday, 13:00 - 21:00
A leadership role with real ownership and influence on mobile architecture and team structure
