This role requires the same product-engineering-driven mindset as our other engineering roles: prototype fast, ship reliable software, and own it in production, with the added constraint of building for field conditions such as intermittent connectivity, outdoor/industrial use, and hardware pairing.\nResponsibilities\nDesign and build native or cross-platform mobile applications for Android and iOS that pair with Picarro instruments and integrate with the cloud/data platform.\nOwn offline-first and sync architecture for field use, where connectivity is not guaranteed and data integrity matters.\nHandle device-level integrations such as Bluetooth/BLE, sensor pairing, and background data collection where relevant.\nUse AI-assisted development tooling to prototype and iterate quickly on UI and integration work.\nOwn mobile app reliability and performance in production, including crash rates, sync failures, battery/data usage, and root-cause fixes.\nPartner with backend/platform engineers to define APIs and contracts that work well under field constraints.\nMentor other engineers on mobile architecture and platform-specific best practices.\nQualifications\n5+ years of mobile engineering experience, with production apps shipped on Android and/or iOS using native Swift/Kotlin or a cross-platform framework such as React Native or Flutter, with a clear rationale for the choice.\nReal experience with offline-first architecture and data sync patterns.\nExperience integrating with hardware/sensors via Bluetooth or similar protocols is a strong plus.\nComfortable owning a mobile app's full lifecycle, including architecture, release process, monitoring, and production issues.\nExperience using AI coding assistants in a professional workflow.\nBackground building software as a core product at a software product company, R&D lab, or technology-first organization, rather than internal IT, retail/e-commerce technology operations, or IT services/consulting shops that primarily implement or customize other companies' software.\nNice to Have\nA public GitHub or similar portfolio showcasing real project work is a strong plus.\nExperience building apps for field service, industrial, scientific, or instrumentation use cases.\nFamiliarity with the same cloud/data platform stack used by the backend team, enabling smoother API collaboration.\nCross-platform architecture experience, including shared business logic across Android and iOS.\nThe base salary range for this full-time position is $150K to $170K. Our total compensation package includes base salary, bonus eligibility, and equity.
