Importance of This Role
Our mobile applications are essential to the majority of our users, enabling drivers and fleet teams to conduct inspections, document defects, and ensure vehicle safety and compliance, even in low-connectivity environments.
We are seeking a Senior Mobile Engineer in New Zealand to bring technical leadership closer to our core engineering team. You will engage hands-on with both iOS and Android platforms, collaborating directly with the Product team and the CTO to shape the future direction of our mobile platform. This role is not about churning out features; you will have a significant impact on our development processes, the technologies we adopt, and our collaborative practices.
Your Responsibilities
- Oversee the entire delivery of mobile features, from understanding customer needs to deployment and monitoring in production.
- Collaborate closely with Product and Design teams to define what we build and how we build it, ensuring the mobile and technical perspectives are integrated into product decisions.
- Lead architectural decisions for our mobile platform.
- Ensure our applications are reliable, high-performing, and maintainable, particularly in offline-first scenarios.
- Review code, promote best practices, and foster the growth of the broader mobile team.
- Identify technical risks early and propose effective solutions.
- Enhance our mobile development processes, tools, and CI/CD pipelines, including AI integration in our development workflow.
- Work with backend engineers on API design and be comfortable delving into backend code when necessary.
- Think beyond immediate tasks and advocate for investments in reliability, performance, and architecture to support our growth.
