• Define and evolve cross-platform strategy (Native vs React Native vs Compose/KMP) • Improve build systems, CI times, and developer productivity • Establish performance SLOs (launch time, page load, memory, crash-free sessions) • Drive architectural simplification and reduce tech fragmentation • Introduce AI-assisted SDLC tooling where impactful • Ensure mobile scalability for IoT-heavy, real-time use cases • Lead customer-facing feature development (e.g., messaging, fleet workflows) • Partner closely with Product & Design to deliver high-quality mobile experiences • Balance feature velocity with platform health • Drive disciplined engineering practices (PR reviews, testing, observability) • Manage ~13-14 engineers across 2 pods • Hire and retain high-performing mobile engineers • Develop senior ICs and future tech leads • Build a culture of ownership, accountability, and technical rigor • Coach engineers to improve system design and execution skills • Establish measurable KPIs: Build time; CI stability; Crash-free rate; App startup latency; Feature cycle time • Ensure predictable sprint delivery • Improve incident response and reliability practices • Maintain high engineering quality standards • Debate architecture credibly with Staff engineers • Know when to invest in platform vs product • Lead large migrations or platform rebuilds • Understand both developer experience and customer experience deeply
