Job Description

Synopsis

The Senior Mobile Apps Engineer is responsible for implementing the mobile engineering strategy across native iOS, native Android, and hybrid/cross-platform applications, while accelerating the adoption of AI and Generative AI within customer experiences and software engineering practices.

The successful candidate will establish scalable mobile architecture, engineering standards, security and quality practices, observability, performance benchmarks, CI/CD capabilities, and AI-enabled development practices across multiple digital products and engineering squads.

A critical aspect of the position is the ability to evaluate where native, hybrid, cross-platform, web-based, and AI-assisted approaches provide the best business and engineering outcomes rather than advocating a single technology stack.

Accountabilities

• Develop and enhance mobile applications using Ionic-Angular and hybrid development frameworks.
• Design and implement native mobile solutions across iOS and/or Android.
• Deliver omnichannel solutions using a single codebase across web and mobile channels.
• Develop and integrate solutions across native and hybrid mobile technologies.
• Embed AI-assisted development tools and practices to accelerate software engineering and delivery.
• Collaborate with delivery stakeholders and Solution Architects to translate requirements into technical solutions.
• Define Low-Level Designs (LLDs) based on High-Level Designs (HLDs) provided by Solution Architects.
• Technically lead experienced developers, resolve complex technical challenges, and unblock delivery.
• Apply digital solution architecture principles, including microservices and 3-tier architecture, across mobile solutions.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, or an equivalent technical discipline.
• 5+ years of software engineering experience, working with mobile application development.
• Relevant cloud, architecture, cybersecurity, mobile, or AI certifications are advantageous.
• Demonstrated delivery of large-scale, customer-facing mobile applications.
• Significant experience with native and hybrid/cross-platform mobile architectures.
• Experience leading multiple engineering squads or technically governing a significant engineering portfolio.
• Strong understanding of enterprise SDLC, DevSecOps, testing, security, observability, and production operations.
• Practical experience adopting AI within software products and/or the engineering lifecycle.
