Description

We are looking for a high-calibre, hands-on Senior Mobile Developer to design, build, and evolve secure, high-performance mobile applications used across iOS and Android.

This is not a maintenance-only role. You will take ownership of complex mobile features from architecture through release, influence technical decisions, and help establish modern, AI-enabled mobile engineering practices in a forward-thinking delivery team.

Your impact

  • Design, build, test, and release high-quality cross-platform mobile applications for iOS and Android using React Native or .NET MAUI.
  • Own the technical delivery of complex features, balancing performance, usability, scalability, security, and maintainability.
  • Partner closely with product managers, UX/UI designers, backend engineers, and QA to convert product requirements into polished mobile experiences.
  • Integrate and optimise connectivity with backend services through RESTful APIs, GraphQL, authentication flows, and error-handling patterns.
  • Establish and improve engineering standards for code quality, automated testing, code reviews, CI/CD, monitoring, and mobile release management.
  • Drive reliable releases to the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, including troubleshooting production incidents and implementing long-term fixes.
  • Use AI-assisted development tools such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and Claude responsibly to improve delivery speed, documentation, testing, and code quality.
  • Mentor intermediate developers, contribute to architectural discussions, and champion practical mobile development best practice.

What success looks like Within your first 6–12 months, you will have:

  • Delivered major mobile functionality that improves customer experience and measurable product outcomes.
  • Strengthened the mobile codebase through improved architecture, test coverage, performance, and release reliability.
  • Helped establish repeatable, secure AI-assisted engineering workflows that accelerate delivery without compromising quality.
  • Become a trusted technical voice for mobile architecture, platform trade-offs, and cross-functional delivery.

What you bring

  • 5+ years’ professional experience in mobile application development, including ownership of production-grade iOS and Android applications.
  • Strong commercial experience in either:
  • React Native: TypeScript, React Navigation, Redux/Zustand or equivalent state management; or
  • .NET MAUI: C#, XAML, MVVM, dependency injection, and mobile application architecture.
  • Demonstrable experience delivering polished, responsive, and performant mobile UI/UX.
  • Strong knowledge of API integration, authentication, state management, offline/error handling, and secure mobile development principles.
  • Hands-on experience with automated testing, source control, code reviews, CI/CD pipelines, and release processes.
  • Experience publishing and supporting applications on the Apple App Store and/or Google Play Store is strongly preferred.
  • Evidence of practical, daily use of AI development tools to improve productivity and quality; candidates should be ready to discuss real examples during the interview process.
  • The confidence to work independently, communicate technical trade-offs clearly, and influence peers through sound engineering judgement.

Why join us

  • Own meaningful, visible mobile products rather than simply completing isolated tickets.
  • Work with modern cross-platform technologies, cloud-connected platforms, and AI-enabled delivery practices.
  • Help shape engineering standards, architecture, tooling, and the future of the mobile capability.
  • Join a team that values technical excellence, accountability, collaboration, and continuous learning.
