As a Staff Mobile Engineer on the Mobile Foundations team, you will lead the technical direction of our mobile platform across iOS and Android. You will design and evolve the core architecture, own critical shared components, and act as a multiplier for mobile engineers across product teams
Define and evolve mobile architecture
Lead the design and evolution of the shared architecture for our native mobile apps, including navigation, state management, networking, offline strategies, and error handling
Drive modularisation and clear boundaries between foundation modules and product features
Own core mobile platform capabilities
Own and maintain shared libraries and frameworks (e.g. design system components, analytics, feature flags, experimentation, authentication, payments, observability)
Be responsible for the application's authentication and authorization mechanisms
Ensure these components are stable, well-documented, and easy to adopt and extend by product teams
Improve security, reliability, performance, and observability
Drive mobile application security, including anti-tampering measures, certificate pinning, and security best practices
Define and track platform-level metrics such as crash-free sessions, ANRs, app start-up time, bundle size, and network performance
Partner with product teams to drive initiatives that improve reliability, performance, and overall mobile quality
Strengthen end-to-end observability across mobile (logging, metrics, tracing, crash reporting) and use data to guide priorities
Elevate developer experience, CI/CD
Own and continuously improve our mobile CI/CD pipelines (e.g. GitHub Actions, Bitrise), reducing build times, flakiness, and friction in releasing features
Improve developer experience for mobile engineers through tooling, templates, documentation, and automation
Manage Mobile Release, Operational Health, and Best Practices
Own the end-to-end mobile release process across iOS and Android, ensuring timely and reliable delivery of new versions
Establish clear guidelines and lead the on-call rotation for critical platform-level incidents, ensuring rapid response and resolution
Define, document, and enforce mobile engineering best practices across the organization to maintain a high bar for code quality and platform consistency
Lead cross-team technical initiatives
Drive cross-squad projects (e.g. rollout of a new design system, major architectural changes, cross-platform feature foundations) from problem definition through to rollout and adoption
Align stakeholders (EMs, PMs, designers, backend/platform teams) around technical direction and trade-offs
Be a hands-on technical leader and mentor
Lead by example with clean, testable, well-structured code on either iOS or Android, while setting standards across both platforms
Provide technical mentorship and guidance to senior and mid-level engineers through design reviews, pairing, and coaching
Contribute to and influence hiring, onboarding, and the growth of the mobile engineering community at Airwallex
