Job Mission
As a Staff Mobile Software Engineer, you’ll provide technical leadership in the development of our mobile applications. We currently have a simple wrapped web application that runs across both platforms, and we plan to invest significantly in this area — both in underlying app platform components (e.g., push notifications) and UI rendering.
You’ll understand and be across the state-of-the-art in cross-platform frameworks and recommend and implement the right technologies to balance development efficiency with performance. You’ll coordinate and organise the work of a growing team of mobile-focused engineers. You’ll bring extensive expertise in mobile application operations and release management, advising on best practices in monitoring, performance, app store QA, and release.
What You’ll Do
-
Lead the technical development and roadmap of our mobile applications.
-
Break new ground by recommending and implementing the right cross-platform frameworks to balance development velocity with application performance.
-
Lead discussions and decision-making around the adoption of new technologies for our mobile applications.
-
Consistently apply both technical breadth and product and business awareness in your work.
-
Take an active role in future mobile hiring by contributing to interviews and suggesting improvements to our processes, question banks, and assessment methods.
-
Provide technical coaching and mentoring to engineers at all levels.
What We’re Looking For
-
Multiple years of experience in a Senior or Staff position, ideally with expertise in building new cross-platform mobile applications end-to-end.
-
A strong track record in mobile development, including UI and feature development as well as underlying platform components.
-
Experience with iOS and Android QA and release operations, and the ability to help operations teams establish effective processes.
-
Advanced analytical thinking skills.
-
A subject matter expert who is self-motivated, capable of creating and executing roadmaps, and able to communicate effectively with non-technical stakeholders.
-
Fluent English language skills are essential.
What We Offer
-
A competitive compensation package, including Employee Stock Options.
-
Flexibility to work remotely or from our office in Berlin.
-
30 days of vacation to ensure you have time to recharge.
-
An annual budget for L&D via Udemy to support your professional growth.
-
A mobility flat rate of €50/month for sharing services such as cars, scooters, and public transport (for employees based in Germany).
-
Discounts for Urban Sports Club or Gym Pass to keep you active and healthy (for employees based in Germany).
-
The opportunity to join an early-stage, fast-growing startup backed by Tier-1 investors.
-
The chance to make a significant impact on company strategy from day one and collaborate directly with the founders.
