Role overview

Serve as a hands-on technical lead for Android-focused mobile engagements, acting as the primary engineering point of contact for clients while still writing code. The role balances strategic client-facing work with day-to-day team coaching, guiding delivery of high-quality, human-centered mobile experiences.

Responsibilities

Champion practices such as TDD, mobile architecture patterns, pair programming, and writing clean, reusable code.
Run or contribute across the full consulting and delivery cycle, from ideation through production evolution.
Help clients deliver platform-appropriate, seamless mobile experiences that feel native on Android.
Design solutions and select technologies within real-world constraints, making pragmatic tradeoffs.
Apply continuous delivery practices to improve software delivery speed and reliability.
Promote DevSecOps tooling and culture, shifting security left in the development process.

Requirements

Proficiency in two or more mobile development languages (such as Swift, Kotlin, Dart, or JavaScript), with hands-on experience using modern UI SDKs and frameworks (Swift UI, Jetpack Compose, Flutter, etc.).
Experience leading software teams using Agile, Lean, or continuous delivery approaches including TDD, CI, pairing, and infrastructure automation.
Working knowledge of mobile-specific concerns: vendor constraints, limited execution environments, disconnected operation, discrete release cycles, accessibility, and privacy.
Strong influencing and mentoring skills, with the ability to bridge product needs and technical implementation.
Comfort designing a technical vision tied to business value and resilient in ambiguous situations.

Nice to have

Familiarity with mobile DevOps and pipeline tools such as fastlane or Gradle.
Ongoing exploration of functional programming paradigms, modern UI patterns, or platform engineering.

Benefits and work setup

Hybrid working model.
Flexible career development supported by internal programs, learning tools, and a strong mentorship culture.
