• Take ownership of mobile releases, including App Store and Google Play submissions.

• Monitor application health using tools such as Sentry and Firebase Crashlytics.

• Investigate and resolve production issues quickly.

• Review code, mentor other developers, and support the team with technical guidance.

• Work closely with Product, Design, and Backend Engineers throughout the development process.

• Improve our development, testing, and deployment workflows.

• Use AI tools such as Claude to assist with development, debugging, documentation, and code reviews where appropriate.
  

What we're looking for

• Experience with CI/CD tools such as Fastlane, Bitrise, GitHub Actions, or similar.

• Experience using AI-assisted development tools, especially Claude.

• Previous experience leading projects or mentoring developers.

• Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively in a fully remote team.

Why join us?

• Fully remote position.

• Opportunity to lead the mobile engineering function.

• Work with modern technologies and AI-powered development tools.

• Be part of a collaborative international engineering team where your ideas and technical decisions have a real impact.
