  • Hire top-tier engineering talent and contribute to the evolution of our engineering org structure as the team scales

What you’ll need:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent practical experience
  • 10+ years of software engineering experience (mobile software development preferred), including 3+ years in formal engineering leadership roles
  • Proven experience delivering production-grade Flutter apps at scale, ideally in fast-paced or regulated environments
  • Strong understanding of mobile architecture, network degradation handling, performance optimization, CI/CD for mobile, and crash recovery
  • Demonstrated ability to lead teams through growth, ambiguity, and change, with a focus on delivery and product impact
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to align technical execution with business priorities and articulate tradeoffs to both engineers and stakeholders
  • Experience managing agile software teams using tools like Jira, GitHub, and Firebase
