Job Level
About the role
- Architect Mobile-First AI: Design and scale the foundational architecture of our native iOS (Swift) and Android (Kotlin) applications to support agentic workflows, multi-turn conversations, and real-time AI interactions.
- Drive the Agent Interface: Lead the implementation of mobile-specific AI capabilities, focusing on low-latency streaming, multi-modal inputs, and agentic state management on the client side.
- Own the Mobile Lifecycle: Take full ownership of the mobile development lifecycle—from initial architectural specs to deployment, CI/CD optimization on AWS, and production reliability.
- Mentor & Multiply: Act as a force multiplier for the engineering org. You’ll provide thoughtful, kind code reviews and mentor engineers across all levels, helping them level up their mobile and AI craft.
- Navigate Ambiguity: Prototype rapidly and iterate on complex challenges—such as offline syncing of agent states and high-volume data pipelines—with little guidance.
Requirements
- 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a deep focus on native mobile development.
- Native iOS & Android Mastery: Proven expertise in both Swift or Kotlin. You should be comfortable leading technical decisions and reviewing code across both platforms.
- Staff-level Leadership: A track record of leading multi-quarter projects, fleshing out requirements, and driving technical strategy for a mobile organization.
- Modern Tooling Proficiency: Experience utilizing AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) to drive engineering velocity and code quality.
- Architectural Mastery: Strong experience with mobile design patterns, threading, and memory management, specifically as it relates to handling long-running asynchronous AI tasks.
- Fullstack Exposure: Familiarity with our backend and frontend stack: Python, Elixir, React, and TypeScript.
- Data Strategy: Strong experience with GraphQL for efficient mobile data fetching and real-time subscriptions.
- Agentic Frameworks: Experience with modern agent frameworks or implementing multi-step reasoning and orchestration patterns on mobile devices.
- Passion for Growth: A dedicated approach to supporting new team members through building a disciplined, collaborative engineering culture.
