About the position

The Role:


Lead Mobile Solution Architect to take full ownership of our client’s consumer mobile ecosystem. The mission is to oversee the current delivery, evaluate the existing code, and lead the strategic transition to an in-house engineering team from vendor managed. As the technical anchor, you will design the next generation of our mobile platform, shifting toward a modern cross-platform framework (e.g., KMP or Flutter) and ensuring robust integration with our backend services and payment gateways.

  • Transition Leadership: Design and execute the roadmap to move development from the vendor to an in-house team without disrupting the consumer experience.
  • In-House Team Building: Partner with HR to recruit, interview, and mentor a high-performing team of mobile and backend-integration engineers.
  • Architecture & Integration: Lead the design of complex integrations, specifically focusing on secure payment gateway implementations and seamless API communication with our backend.
  • Cross-Platform Strategy: Evaluate and implement a cross-platform strategy that balances development speed with the high performance required for a consumer-facing app.
  • Release Management: Manage the end-to-end rollout process on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
  • Thought Leadership: Tracking the over mobile trends in the market and contributing to the overall mobile strategy with the insights from this research
  • Quality Assurance: Overall quality assurance of end product.
  • Engage on UX/Accessibility of the ongoing product: Advise on UX/UI design.


Requirements
  • Expert Android/Kotlin Knowledge: You must be able to read, write, and critique Kotlin at an expert level.
  • Dual-Platform Shipping: Proven experience launching and maintaining successful apps on both iOS and Android.
  • Integration Expertise: Deep experience with RESTful APIs and third-party Payment SDKs.
  • Strategic Leadership: Experience managing external vendors and a clear vision of how to build an engineering culture from the ground up.
  • Cross-Platform Proficiency: Hands-on experience with (or a strong architectural case for) frameworks like Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP), Flutter, or React Native.
  • DevOps: Experience with Azure DevOps builds and automated pipelines.
  • AWS
  • 15+ years’ experience
