Impiricus - Director, Mobile Engineering
Requirements
• 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, spanning both mobile and backend/server-side development. • 5+ years leading engineering teams, with experience managing engineering managers and scaling organizations across multiple technical disciplines (mobile and backend). • Deep expertise in modern mobile development (Swift/SwiftUI and/or Kotlin/Jetpack Compose) and solid backend fundamentals — distributed systems, RESTful/GraphQL API design, databases, and service architecture. • Demonstrated experience defining architecture and technical standards at an organizational level — not just within a single discipline — and driving their adoption across teams. • Strong understanding of authentication, networking, offline synchronization, mobile security, and application performance, as well as backend scalability, reliability, and security practices. • Experience establishing engineering best practices (architecture, code review, testing, CI/CD, release management, observability) that apply across an entire engineering group. • Proven ability to influence cross-functional strategy and partner with Product, Design, and executive leadership. • Experience recruiting, mentoring, and developing senior engineers and engineering managers across disciplines. • Excellent communication and organizational leadership skills, balancing technical depth and business impact. • The total compensation for this role is $218,500 - $253,000. • $218,500 - $253,000. • Where you land within the range will reflect your skills, experience, and location, while keeping team parity in mind and leaving room for future growth.
Responsibilities
• Lead and grow a high-performing engineering organization spanning mobile (iOS/Android) and backend, responsible for delivering world-class, reliable products end-to-end. • Define and execute engineering strategy across mobile and backend, aligning technical initiatives with product and business objectives. • Own the group's overall technical architecture — including mobile-backend integration, API design, and service architecture — ensuring consistency and scalability across the stack. • Establish and drive adoption of engineering standards and processes (development, testing, CI/CD, observability, release management, code review). • Partner closely with Product, Design, and AI to deliver scalable, customer-centric experiences across mobile and backend. • Drive engineering excellence through architecture reviews, code quality, operational best practices, and continuous improvement across teams. • Build, mentor, and develop engineering managers and senior engineers across mobile and backend, fostering a culture of ownership, collaboration, and accountability. • Design secure, scalable APIs, backend services, and high-performance mobile solutions in an integrated way, rather than as two disconnected efforts. • Ensure all applications and services meet the highest standards for security, privacy, reliability, accessibility, and performance. • Lead technical planning and execution for strategic initiatives, balancing innovation, scalability, and delivery velocity across the group. • Oversee organizational growth, hiring, and adoption of emerging technologies — including AI-powered capabilities — across mobile and backend.
