The Role This is a senior, product-facing role. You will be the primary mobile engineer on a well-defined, roadmap-driven client product, responsible for the quality, architecture, and delivery of native mobile applications on iOS and Android. Alongside that core engagement, you will have exposure to a variety of other client projects - spanning industries and problem spaces - where your experience and judgement will add genuine value. You will be embedded in a multidisciplinary team that includes fullstack engineers, product designers, cloud engineers, electronics engineers, and data scientists. You will engage directly with clients, contribute to technical strategy, and help shape how mobile is delivered across the business.
