About the role

Lead and grow two engineering teams — Mobile and Desktop — hiring and developing engineers across both platforms from the ground up.
Foster a high-performance, inclusive culture and ensure the teams collaborate closely to deliver a coherent cross-platform product.
Define the engineering approach for both mobile and desktop, making foundational technology choices (native vs. cross-platform for mobile; Electron, Tauri, or native for desktop), architecture patterns, and development practices that will shape the products for years to come.
Deliver CoCounsel Legal’s first mobile and desktop applications, collaborating closely with Product and Design to ship high-quality, accessible experiences that bring core CoCounsel AI capabilities to iOS, Android, Windows, and Mac users.
Integrate deeply with the CoCounsel backend, working with Agent Core and AI Platform teams to surface agent capabilities, file and workspace access, and user context seamlessly across mobile and desktop surfaces.
Own quality, performance, and reliability across both platforms, establishing standards for testing, CI/CD, crash reporting, performance monitoring, and cross-platform (Windows/Mac, iOS/Android) compatibility.
Partner across the Application Experience pillar, working with web and integrations teams to ensure CoCounsel Legal delivers a coherent, consistent product experience across all surfaces.
Represent mobile and desktop engineering perspectives, contributing to planning and prioritization discussions with Product, Design, and senior engineering leadership.
