Role Overview

As a Lead Mobile Developer , you will be a technical leader within the Android team, owning complex problem spaces and driving impactful solutions. You’ll work on high-scale, mission-critical systems, mentor peers, and influence technical direction across the organization.

Key Responsibilities

• Identify, define, and lead cross-org mobile programs that remove critical blockers to company objectives (e.g., 99.99% offline availability, sub-second sync on 100k+ devices, zero-touch device provisioning at scale).
• Architect and deliver breakthrough mobile systems that achieve measurable company-level outcomes (e.g., multi-million-dollar cost savings, new revenue-enabling capabilities, or category-defining reliability).
• Set and evolve the long-term (2–5 year) mobile technical strategy and roadmap; align it with executive leadership and product strategy.
• Own resolution of the most complex, ambiguous, and high-severity problems spanning mobile, backend, firmware, and third-party hardware.

• Build or champion foundational libraries, tooling, or infrastructure that become de-facto standards across the entire engineering organization.
• Drive upstream leadership in key open-source projects we depend on; become a recognized voice in the Android OSS ecosystem when relevant.
• Mentor and develop senior engineers; actively grow the next generation of lead and senior engineers.
• Lead mobile hiring strategy, calibration, and promotion committees; personally close senior and staff-level candidates.
• Represent FlexCount mobile engineering externally when needed (conferences, OSS governance, vendor technical councils).
• Act as incident commander for company-level mobile incidents; ensure systemic fixes prevent recurrence at scale.

Required Qualifications:

• 8+ years of professional Android development experience.
• Proven track record of owning large problem spaces in production apps used by thousands of daily active users.

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
• Experience implementing Real User Monitoring (RUM) to track and analyze customer journeys within mobile applications.
