Senior Software Engineer – Mobile Platform

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Canada.

📋 Description

• Take ownership of the release pipeline — develop and sustain the systems that transition code from merging to production reliably, consistently, and with minimal manual effort across both iOS and Android platforms.

• Enhance our release automation — strive for complete automation, facilitating push-button deployments and rollbacks with Slack-updated statuses and minimal manual involvement as the standard procedure.

• Fortify performance monitoring and observability — expand instrumentation, establish alerting thresholds, create domain-level SLA dashboards, and ensure clear visibility across our React Native and Android environments, including scenarios that operate offline.

• Elevate CI/CD pipeline efficiency and reliability — decrease build durations, enhance E2E test stability, integrate feature flag automation, and improve the testing infrastructure utilized by engineers on a daily basis.

• Broaden observability knowledge within the team — design dashboards, runbooks, and instrumentation patterns that can be utilized and extended by all engineers, not just specialists.

• Maintain the platform's health — manage React Native and dependency updates, oversee certificate management, ensure compliance with Apple/Google store requirements, and manage MDM tools as the fleet expands.

• Utilize AI tools to create automations at scale across release and distribution workflows.

• Assist in building a strong team — conduct interviews, refer exceptional engineers, and influence the engineering culture.

⛳️ Requirements

• Over 4 years of experience in developing and delivering production applications, including full ownership of release processes from start to finish.

• Proficient in TypeScript.

• Experience in building and sustaining mobile applications in production settings where quality and uptime are critical — proficiency in React Native is highly desirable; experience with managed device fleets, always-on hardware, or enterprise mobile deployments is a significant advantage.

• Proven experience in enhancing CI/CD pipelines and promoting substantial release automation — a history of guiding teams towards more reliable and less manual delivery processes.

• Practical experience with observability tools — such as Datadog, OpenTelemetry, distributed tracing, or similar. Experience in instrumenting mobile or edge environments where standard tools require adaptation is a notable plus.

• Demonstrated success in improving operational visibility — creating dashboards, setting alerting thresholds, diagnosing production challenges, and making monitoring accessible to the entire team.

• Ability to navigate complex external systems — including Apple/Google developer workflows, certificates, provisioning, MDM platforms, store review processes, and compliance criteria.

• Background in a product-centric startup, scale-up, or technology firm.

• A strong sense of ownership, exceptional communication skills, and a proactive approach to identifying and resolving ambiguous, cross-functional issues.

🏝️ Benefits

• Comprehensive health coverage.

• Work from anywhere (remote-first workplace).

• Unlimited PTO - plus additional fun perks!
