About the role
Who you are
- Deep, hands-on experience shipping a React Native and TypeScript app in production at scale
- Experience leading engineers, as an engineering manager or as a tech lead with people responsibilities such as coaching, hiring, and handling performance
- Enough native iOS and/or Android depth to make sound calls at the boundary: native modules, camera and background tasks, OS lifecycle, and app store releases
- A track record of owning shared mobile foundations that other teams build on, including CI/CD, release management, and test automation (such as GitHub Actions, Maestro, or Detox)
- Experience using Sentry, New Relic, or similar to drive down crash rates and turn data into priorities
- Practical use of AI-assisted development tools like Cursor or Claude, and experience helping a team use them well
- Clear written communication across time zones and with non-engineering partners, and a habit of finishing what you start
- Experience with camera, AR or LiDAR, or large media uploads, including integrating native SDKs into React Native
- Experience with offline-first sync (such as WatermelonDB or Apollo) or enterprise mobile needs such as MDM/Intune and WCAG accessibility
- Experience in construction, insurance, or field-services software, or leading distributed or contractor teams What the job involves
- Your first priority is making the Hover Pro app a stable, fast platform
- You'll drive toward 99.99% crash-free sessions, turn noisy monitoring into alerts teams act on, and fix the crashes and hangs that affect our largest insurance customers
- You'll make contributing to the mobile codebase simple, with faster CI, clear steps, and better testing, and you'll work with feature teams to decide what the platform provides and what each team builds
- You'll coach and grow a senior, distributed team and partner closely with our mobile QA lead on test strategy and release quality
- Expect about half your week in design and code reviews, debugging, and some coding, about 30% on people leadership, and about 20% on cross-team planning
- Own reliability and performance for the Hover Pro app, using Sentry fingerprinting, code-owner routing, and device-vitals dashboards to turn metrics into priorities
- Lead architecture decisions across React Native (New Architecture), Expo, TypeScript, and native iOS and Android, including moving our core upload pipeline from React Native to native
- Improve CI/CD, release cadence, on-call, and old-version sunsetting so every mobile team ships faster
- Partner with mobile QA on testability: dev tooling, debug menus, and hooks for AI-assisted end-to-end testing
- Steward shared foundations: the mobile design system, offline data layer, push notifications, yearly iOS and Android readiness, and enterprise needs like Intune and accessibility
- Partner with our Capture SDK team on native SDK adoption, and with backend teams on upload reliability over weak networks The application process
