Head of Mobile (Angular + Capacitor → Native iOS/Android)
We’re looking for a Head of Mobile to take full technical ownership. Your first priority is to stabilize the current app and make delivery predictable. Next, you’ll design and lead a phased move to native iOS and Android apps, done safely and without a risky big-bang rewrite.
This role suits a hands-on technical leader who enjoys bringing order to a complex system and wants a real say in the product’s long-term mobile architecture.
What you’ll do
- Audit the current app, team, and delivery process, and build a clear stabilization roadmap
- Resolve critical defects and reduce technical debt in priority order
- Own reliability of offline sync, local storage, background execution, and native integrations
- Set up code review, automated testing, release, and incident management standards
- Improve monitoring and observability (Crashlytics, logging, root-cause analysis)
- Define and track mobile engineering KPIs, and communicate risks and decisions to business stakeholders
- Lead, mentor, and grow the mobile team, and define hiring needs
- Align delivery with Product, Backend, QA, Design, and DevOps
- Introduce secure, well-governed AI-assisted workflows for code analysis, testing, review, and documentation
- Prepare the architecture and roadmap for the future native iOS/Android transition
What we’re looking for
- Strong hands-on experience with Angular, TypeScript, and Capacitor
- Proven ownership of complex production mobile apps on iOS and Android
- Practical experience with offline-first architecture: sync, queues, retries, conflict resolution, SQLite / local persistence
- Experience with native integrations: push notifications, geolocation, background tasks, files, camera, biometrics
- Solid testing practice (unit, integration, E2E) and CI/CD experience, including App Store and Google Play releases
- Understanding of REST and WebSocket; gRPC / Protocol Buffers is a plus
- Knowledge of mobile security and secure authentication
- Architectural understanding of Swift/SwiftUI and Kotlin/Jetpack Compose
- Experience leading a mobile team: roadmap ownership, hiring, mentoring
Practical experience using AI tools in engineering, with attention to security and output validation
Nice to have
- Experience migrating a hybrid app to native iOS/Android
- Deep expertise in Swift/SwiftUI or Kotlin/Jetpack Compose
- Background in field-service, logistics, or CRM apps with complex offline behavior
- Experience with maps, GPS, and background location
- Experience scaling or transforming a mobile engineering team
Tech stack
Angular, TypeScript, Capacitor, RxJS, Jest, SQLite, REST, WebSocket, gRPC, GitHub Actions, Fastlane, Firebase, Crashlytics, Mixpanel, Jira, Confluence
What we offer
- Fully remote work
- Full-time schedule, Monday to Friday, 13:00 - 21:00
- A leadership role with real ownership and influence on mobile architecture and team structure
- 10 paid vacation days.
- Competitive fixed salary.
- Opportunities to influence the communications strategy and direction of a growing company.
