Role Summary  

We are seeking an experienced, hands-on technology leader to shape how AI-enabled software engineering evolves across our mobile organization. This role will focus on designing, building, and scaling AI-native engineering workflows that improve how native mobile applications are architected, developed, tested, and released. The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in native mobile engineering, strong software architecture fundamentals, and practical experience building AI-assisted or agentic engineering systems. This person will partner closely with engineering, architecture, product, design, security, and platform teams to modernize mobile development practices and accelerate the path from requirements and design intent to production-ready software.  

This role sits at the intersection of:  

• Native mobile engineering leadership   • AI-enabled software development workflows   • Spec-driven engineering and technical design   • Agentic workflow design and orchestration   • Engineering quality, testing, and release automation   • Cross-functional technology leadership    

Responsibilities  

Lead AI-Native Engineering for Mobile  

• Lead technical execution across one or more native mobile domains, partnering with engineering, architecture, product, design, security, and platform stakeholders   • Translate business and product requirements into engineering-ready technical designs, implementation plans, and scalable mobile solutions   • Drive high-quality engineering outcomes aligned with architecture standards, platform strategy, security requirements, and release goals   • Apply AI across the software development lifecycle to improve quality, speed, consistency, and maintainability   • Serve as a hands-on technical leader who defines engineering patterns and contributes to implementation    

Design and Build Agentic AI Engineering Workflows  

• Design, build, and operationalize AI and agentic workflows that improve:    • Technical analysis and decomposition   • Engineering specification generation   • Design-to-engineering translation   • Code generation and review support   • Test case generation and validation   • Release readiness and deployment workflows   • Documentation and engineering knowledge capture   • Develop reusable engineering assets, including:    • Prompt and context libraries   • Agent instructions and workflow templates   • Structured technical specification standards   • Validation frameworks for AI-assisted outputs   • Reusable native mobile implementation and testing patterns   • Establish mechanisms for:    • Human-in-the-loop review and engineering quality control   • Workflow evaluation and continuous improvement   • Performance tuning and optimization of AI-enabled systems   • Traceability across AI-generated outputs, engineering decisions, and release artifacts    

Modernize Native Mobile Engineering Workflows  

• Improve how teams move from requirements and design artifacts to engineering-ready specifications and implementation   • Establish and scale spec-driven engineering practices for iOS and Android development   • Integrate tools such as GitHub, CI/CD pipelines, Confluence, Figma, Jira, and AI platforms into repeatable development workflows   • Strengthen design-to-code handoffs and improve engineering readiness across the delivery lifecycle   • Advance automation across coding, testing, validation, and release processes   • Improve software quality, observability, telemetry, and release confidence through AI-enabled engineering practices    

Drive AI-Enabled Engineering Transformation  

• Identify opportunities to fundamentally improve how engineering work is performed through AI, not just accelerate isolated tasks   • Pilot, evaluate, and scale AI-enabled engineering capabilities across native mobile teams   • Assess emerging AI tools, coding assistants, frameworks, and orchestration patterns for enterprise use   • Help define best practices for safe, scalable, and effective AI adoption in software engineering   • Contribute to the broader engineering strategy for AI-assisted development, workflow modernization, and technical enablement    

Partner Across Teams  

• Collaborate closely with mobile engineers, architects, platform teams, product managers, designers, and business stakeholders   • Communicate complex technical concepts clearly to technical and non-technical audiences   • Align engineering execution with business priorities, technical strategy, risk controls, and user experience goals   • Influence engineering standards and ways of working through technical depth, credibility, and hands-on leadership    

Qualifications  

Required:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science , Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience   • 8+ years of experience in software engineering, native mobile engineering, or technic
