Mobile App Deployment Specialist

The Mobile App Deployment Specialist is a customer-facing technical role within the Service Delivery team, focused on new mobile app deployments, app lifecycle management, and recurring custom app releases within the Firstup platform. This is not a software engineering role. Firstup has an automated build system and established toolchain in place, and your job is to configure, drive, and deliver through it-not to write code. You are engaged when a new branded app needs to be created, an existing app requires a rebrand, or a customer needs to adopt one of Firstup's supported deployment models. You own deployments from kickoff through go-live, assist/coordinate recurring custom application releases (typically on a quarterly cadence), and partner closely with Sales, Customer Success, Support, Product, and Mobile Engineering to ensure successful delivery and ongoing customer success.
