Mobile Manager

You will own the technical direction of the mobile platform and help evolve it toward a modern, modular (Superapp-style) architecture that can support multiple products, teams, and customer journeys. You’ll help define how React Native and Expo are used end-to-end-from app structure and native integrations to CI/CD, over-the-air updates, observability, performance, and App Store / Google Play delivery. You will partner closely with Product, Design, Platform, and engineering leadership to translate business priorities into a mobile platform that can move quickly without sacrificing quality or maintainability., * Own the technical direction and architecture of React Native applications across iOS and Android, balancing product velocity, performance, reliability, and long-term maintainability

• Design and evolve a modular, Superapp-style mobile architecture with clear feature boundaries, shared platform services, and reusable capabilities (authentication, navigation, analytics, experimentation, notifications, design system components, etc.)
• Lead adoption and best practices for modern React Native and Expo, including React Native New Architecture, Expo SDK, Expo Modules, and appropriate native escape hatches where platform-specific functionality is required
• Define and operate a safe over-the-air update strategy (Expo Updates / EAS Update), including runtime compatibility, release channels, staged rollouts, rollback, and clear rules for when a native store release is required
• Own mobile build and release engineering, including CI/CD tooling (EAS Build/Submit or equivalent), code signing, App Store and Google Play releases, release automation, and environment management
• Act as a hands-on technical leader: participate in design sessions, review critical pull requests, prototype/code high-leverage work, and jump into difficult debugging or production issues alongside the team
• Drive mobile performance and quality through measurable engineering practices (startup time, rendering performance, bundle size, memory use, crashes, ANRs, network behavior, and overall reliability)
• Establish strong observability and operational practices for mobile, including crash reporting, logging, release health, analytics, and rapid diagnosis of production regressions
• Create architecture standards and engineering guardrails for navigation, state management, data access, offline behavior, deep linking, feature flags, testing, dependency management, and native module usage
• Partner with backend and platform teams to design mobile-friendly APIs and service contracts; collaborate with Product and Design to deliver cohesive experiences across multiple mobile products and customer journeys
• Coach, mentor, and develop engineers; provide clear technical feedback, set expectations, and ensure meaningful career growth paths
• Continuously improve team execution and developer experience by reducing build friction, improving automation/testing, simplifying local development, and eliminating unnecessary process

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science (or related field) or equivalent practical experience
• 8+ years of software engineering experience, including significant experience building and operating production mobile applications
• 2+ years leading or managing software development teams while remaining technically engaged
• Deep experience with React Native, React, and TypeScript/JavaScript, including shipping a shared codebase to both iOS and Android
• Experience architecting large or multi-team mobile applications using modular architecture, shared packages/platform layers, monorepos, or Superapp-style patterns
• Strong experience with Expo and the modern Expo ecosystem (Expo SDK and EAS services such as Build, Submit, and Update); experience with expo-updates is especially valuable
• Understanding of React Native New Architecture concepts (Fabric, TurboModules, JSI/Codegen) and how they affect library selection, performance, and native integrations
• Experience designing safe mobile release strategies across App Store / Google Play releases and over-the-air JavaScript/asset updates
• Strong understanding of mobile CI/CD, automated testing, code signing, environment management, release automation, and production support
• Experience with mobile observability and performance tooling (crash reporting, release health, diagnosing production performance issues)
• Strong understanding of client/server architecture and APIs (REST and/or GraphQL), authentication, caching, network resilience, and mobile-specific API concerns
• Strong communication skills and the ability to make architecture decisions clear to engineers, product partners, and other technology leaders, * Experience building and maintaining systems in a cloud environment (AWS preferred)
