• Build and improve mobile experiences used across thousands of apps
• Help shape the platform, patterns, and practices behind high-quality releases
• Work on meaningful mobile engineering problems at real scale

The Role

Most mobile roles are about shipping features for a single app.
This one is about building and improving the platform those experiences run on.

We support 3,000+ white-label mobile apps across Apple and Google’s app stores, and we’re continuing to evolve how those apps are built, released, and maintained. That means solving mobile engineering problems that go well beyond day-to-day feature work — from performance and reliability to architecture, release quality, and platform consistency.

If you enjoy creating polished mobile experiences, solving meaningful technical challenges, and contributing to the systems that make high-quality delivery possible, this role gives you the space to do exactly that.

The Work

Solve Real Mobile Engineering Problems at Scale

You’ll work on technical challenges that require both engineering depth and product thinking, building mobile experiences that directly affect how people engage with their communities.

Shipping High-Quality Software

Design and deliver robust, production-ready mobile software that performs well in the real world and creates measurable value for users and the business.

Raising the Engineering Bar

Contribute to technical discussions, code quality, testing practices, and continuous improvement across the mobile engineering environment.

Our Tech Stack

Mobile engineers care about how apps are built, released, and maintained — not just what gets shipped. We believe great software comes from thoughtful engineers working together, not rigid processes. Engineers here are trusted to contribute ideas, improve systems, and help shape how we build. Here’s a snapshot of the environment you’ll be working in.

• React Native using JavaScript and/or TypeScript
• Mobile development across iOS and Android
• App store release processes across Apple App Store and Google Play
• CI/CD practices supporting frequent and reliable mobile releases
• Testing practices that improve release quality and confidence

Shipping High-Quality Software

Design and deliver robust, scalable applications that ship regularly to production and deliver measurable business value.

Raising the Engineering Bar

Review code, mentor engineers, and contribute to the engineering practices that shape how we build software.

Our Tech Stack

Senior engineers care about how software gets built, not just what gets built.
Here’s a snapshot of the environment you’ll be working in.

• React + Typescript driving our modern frontend architecture
• NodeJS services supporting frontend experiences and integrations
• A growing design system and shared component library used across multiple product teams
• CI/CD pipelines enabling frequent, reliable production releases
• Collaborative code reviews and design discussions as part of everyday engineering work
• Cloud infrastructure running on AWS
• A strong focus on security and compliance, given the nature of our platform
  
  

We believe great software comes from thoughtful engineers working together, not rigid processes. Engineers here are trusted to contribute ideas, improve systems, and help shape how we build.

• Help modernise and improve our frontend architecture
• Coach and mentor other engineers
• Identify risks and improvements early
• Contribute to engineering culture, practices, and standards

You’ll be trusted to self-manage your work, communicate clearly, and collaborate closely with engineering and product teams.

Why You Should Care

You’ll join a team where engineers have real influence over architecture and technical direction.

This role sits at the centre of a significant frontend modernisation effort — untangling legacy systems, defining platform standards, and enabling teams across the organisation to build faster.

If you enjoy solving meaningful engineering problems and leaving systems better than you found them, this is the role for you!
