Since 2021, AppNation has been creating products across AI, productivity, and mobile experiences. Our apps, including Genie, Translate AI, and Arch, have reached 90M+ users globally and ranked among the top apps in 30+ countries.

We are a team of builders, designers, and engineers who move fast, take ownership, and create products used by millions.

About the Role

We're looking for a Staff Mobile Engineer to lead the development of our mobile products, combining hands-on engineering with technical leadership. You'll work closely with mobile engineers, engineering leaders, product managers, and cross-functional teams to build scalable mobile experiences, solve complex technical challenges, and help grow a high-performing engineering team.

What You'll Do

  • Take ownership of the technical direction of our mobile products while staying hands-on with development.

  • Work closely with product managers across studios, mobile engineers, backend engineers, QA engineers, and platform teams to build and improve mobile experiences.

  • Make key architecture decisions and help establish scalable engineering practices across our mobile applications.

  • Own the mobile development lifecycle, from development and testing to releases on the App Store and Google Play.

  • Build and improve subscription-based mobile experiences using modern iOS/Android technologies.

  • Investigate and solve complex product issues while improving app performance, stability, and user experience.

  • Support and mentor mobile engineers through technical guidance, code reviews, and knowledge sharing.

  • Contribute to technical hiring, performance discussions, and the growth of the mobile team.

  • Improve development processes, tools, and workflows in collaboration with platform teams, including our Mobile Core SDK, to help the team build faster and more effectively.

What We're Looking For

  • Strong expertise in native iOS development (Swift) is required. Experience with Flutter and Android development (Kotlin) is a plus. Should be willing to learn Flutter and contribute to Flutter-based applications when needed.

  • Experience building and shipping production mobile applications across the full development lifecycle, from architecture and implementation to App Store releases and ongoing maintenance.

  • Strong experience with StoreKit and subscription-based mobile applications.

  • Experience designing scalable mobile architectures with a focus on performance, reliability, and maintainability.

  • Hands-on experience with build pipelines, CI/CD, automated testing, and release management.

  • Experience collaborating closely with cross-functional teams, including Product Managers, Core SDK teams, and other engineering stakeholders.

  • Experience in mentoring engineers and contributing to performance management and hiring processes.

  • Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to investigate and resolve complex production issues.

  • Excellent communication skills, an ownership mindset, and a passion for building products used by millions.

Why AppNation?

  • Build and scale products reaching millions of users globally.

  • Work with talented people in a fast-moving AI-first environment.

  • Take ownership and see your impact directly in the products you build.

  • Grow quickly with opportunities to lead projects and shape technical decisions.

  • Enjoy competitive compensation and benefits, including private health insurance, meal and commute support, relocation support, and flexible working options.
