Job Description
Mobile Engineering Team Lead at RethinkFirst, overseeing native and cross-platform mobile app development across iOS and Android with hands-on engineering responsibilities.
Responsibilities:
- Lead a team of iOS and Android engineers through the full delivery lifecycle: scoping, estimation, architecture, implementation, testing, release, and post-release monitoring.
- Own the mobile technical roadmap, including platform strategy, dependency management, CI/CD pipelines, release cadence, and store submission processes for both Apple App Store and Google Play.
- Set and enforce engineering standards: code review discipline, automated testing coverage (unit, integration, UI/E2E), crash-free session targets, performance budgets, and accessibility compliance.
- Drive a test-first culture. You are responsible for defining what "done" means and ensuring the team meets it. Expect to defend coverage thresholds and reject work that does not.
- Operate as an AI-first engineer and require the same of your team. Use Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or equivalent for code generation, refactoring, test scaffolding, and review.
- Establish team norms for prompt patterns, model selection, review of AI-generated output, and where AI tooling should and should not be trusted.
- Partner with product, design, backend, QA, and DevOps to translate ambiguous requirements into concrete, shippable work.
- Coach and grow engineers through 1:1s, pairing, structured feedback, and performance reviews. Hire when needed.
- Be the escalation point for production incidents affecting mobile clients.
Requirements:
- 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, with at least 5 years building production mobile applications.
- 2+ years in a tech lead, staff, or engineering management role with direct responsibility for delivery outcomes.
- Strong, demonstrable expertise in iOS development: Swift, SwiftUI and/or UIKit, Combine or async/await, Xcode toolchain, App Store submission, TestFlight, code signing, and provisioning.
- Strong, demonstrable expertise in Android development: Kotlin, Jetpack Compose and/or the traditional View system, Coroutines/Flow, Android Studio, Gradle, Play Console, and Play Store submission.
- Deep understanding of mobile delivery: branching strategies, CI/CD (GitHub Actions, or equivalent), staged rollouts, feature flagging, OTA configuration, and crash/analytics tooling (Crashlytics, Sentry, Firebase, Datadog, or comparable).
- Deep understanding of mobile testing strategy: XCTest, XCUITest, Espresso, JUnit, snapshot testing, contract testing, and device-farm or cloud-device testing (BrowserStack, Firebase Test Lab, AWS Device Farm).
- Active, daily use of AI-assisted development tooling (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, Windsurf, or equivalent) with an opinion on where it accelerates work and where it introduces risk.
- Excellent written and verbal communication. You can write a clear technical design doc, run a productive standup, give direct feedback without theatrics, and explain trade-offs to non-engineers.
Benefits:
- Generous health, dental, & vision benefits package
- Flexible paid time off
- 11 paid company holidays
- 401k + matching
- Parental leave
- Access to our award-winning RethinkCare platform supporting neurodiversity in the workplace through parental success, professional resilience, and personal wellbeing.
