Mobile Principle Software Engineer

Your tasks

• Lead the mobile engineering team, guiding its technical maturity, architecture, and evolution to support an AI-native product platform.
• Establish an AI-native software development lifecycle for mobile engineering, incorporating AI coding agents, evaluation frameworks, review loops, and quality controls to sustain rapid delivery.
• Drive a thin-client architecture for the participant experience, moving business logic toward backend services to keep mobile applications streamlined and maintainable.
• Contribute to Python-based AI backend services when new capabilities are required by mobile, using AI coding agents to accelerate implementation.
• Define the direction of participant APIs and the broader participant platform, influencing technical decisions beyond the mobile team.
• Allocate approximately 70% of time to supporting the product team and 30% to self-directed technical leadership, platform improvements, and strategic initiatives.
• Improve engineering processes across the mobile team and partner teams, identifying opportunities to increase efficiency, quality, and collaboration.
• Apply DevOps principles to strengthen continuous delivery pipelines and improve the reliability and operational performance of SaaS and mobile systems.
• Mentor engineers, support their professional growth, and contribute to the continued development of the wider Engineering organization.
• Participate in organizational security and compliance initiatives, supporting a platform operating within SOC 2 and HITRUST certification requirements.
• Collaborate with Product and Design as a strategic partner, helping define problems, evaluate trade-offs, test assumptions through prototypes, and build durable technical foundations where appropriate.
• Manage multiple initiatives simultaneously, identifying dependencies, potential conflicts, and opportunities for shared solutions while maintaining alignment with business priorities.

Requirements

• More than 10 years of software engineering experience, with substantial mobile development expertise and Principal- or Staff-level technical leadership scope. Demonstrated impact and delivery are more important than job titles.
• Experience developing for both iOS and Android, with the flexibility to work beyond the mobile ecosystem when business or technical needs require it.
• Hands-on experience using AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or similar tools to deliver meaningful production work, along with a clear perspective on designing an effective software development lifecycle around AI agents.
• Strong systems architecture experience spanning backend API design, databases, mobile DevOps, and the trade-offs involved in designing connected product systems.
• A proven track record of leading technical improvements, mentoring engineers, and helping engineering teams grow.
• Expertise in cloud-based SaaS architecture and evolutionary software design, with the ability to modernize existing systems while building for future needs.
• Familiarity with Agile practices, DevOps, continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD), observability, tracing, and data- and metrics-driven decision-making.
• A strong product mindset, including the ability to understand business problems, challenge assumptions constructively, and partner effectively with Product and Design.
• Excellent technical judgment, communication, collaboration, and prioritization skills, with the ability to work independently while staying aligned with organizational goals.
• Comfort working in a fast-moving environment where priorities and responsibilities may evolve.
• Availability to work core hours from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time, with reasonable flexibility when personal circumstances require it.
