Job description

As a Senior Lead Mobile Software Engineer at JPMorganChase within the International Consumer Bank, you will play a key role in shaping and delivering our native mobile platform across iOS and Android. This is an architect-level, hands-on leadership role: you’ll define the technical direction, contribute directly to production code, and provide day-to-day technical leadership for both the iOS and Android teams., * Own and evolve the end-to-end mobile architecture across iOS and Android, including app modularization, cross-cutting platform capabilities, and long-term scalability.

  • Provide technical leadership across both mobile teams (iOS and Android): set standards, drive alignment, and ensure consistent implementation of shared patterns and practices.
  • Remain hands-on: build and review core platform components, unblock complex engineering challenges, and contribute to key customer journeys.
  • Partner with Product, Design, Backend, Security, Risk, and QA to translate business goals into robust technical solutions and delivery plans.
  • Define and enforce a high bar for engineering excellence: code quality, maintainability, security, performance, accessibility, and reliability.
  • Establish and improve mobile SDLC practices: planning, development, peer review, testing, release management, and operational support.
  • Lead the mobile testing and quality strategy (unit/integration/UI automation) and drive measurable improvements in stability and release confidence.
  • Own mobile build/release and operational maturity: CI/CD pipelines, distribution, feature flags, observability, crash/performance monitoring, and incident response.
  • Mentor and coach engineers; support team growth through feedback, technical guidance, and strong engineering culture.
  • Communicate clearly with senior stakeholders on technical trade-offs, progress, risks, and dependencies.

Requirements

  • Extensive experience delivering native mobile applications in both IOS and Android
  • iOS (Swift) experience to include modern iOS architecture patterns and Apple frameworks
  • Android (Kotlin) experience to include modern Android architecture patterns and Jetpack components
  • Proven experience operating at a senior technical lead level: making system-level design decisions and driving adoption across teams.
  • Strong knowledge of mobile fundamentals: performance, memory management, concurrency, offline-first patterns, networking, app lifecycle, and secure storage.
  • Strong engineering practices: writing clean, testable code; effective code reviews; pragmatic documentation; and continuous improvement.
  • Strong experience with API-driven apps (primarily REST, GraphQL) and collaboration with backend teams on contracts and integration patterns.
  • Track record of raising the bar on quality engineering: test strategy, automation, code review discipline, and CI/CD improvements.
  • Experience working in an agile environment and collaborating with geographically distributed teams.
  • Strong stakeholder management and communication skills; ability to align across multiple teams and priorities.

Preferred Qualifications, Capabilities, and Skills

  • Experience with React Native (preferred) and/or hybrid approaches, with the ability to make sound build-vs-buy and native-vs-cross-platform trade-offs.
  • Experience designing and implementing shared design systems across iOS and Android (consistent UI patterns, accessibility standards, component libraries).
  • Experience with CI/CD for mobile (e.g., build automation, signing, distribution, feature flags, release trains).
  • Experience with observability and production support practices: crash analytics, performance monitoring, logging, alerting, and operational readiness.
  • Experience leading multiple engineers/teams (people leadership or strong matrix leadership), including planning, prioritization, and delivery management.
