Founding Staff Mobile Engineer

Accountabilities:

s the first dedicated Staff Mobile Engineer, you’ll own the mobile platform end to end, from assessing the existing application and defining the architecture to delivering a production rebuild and evolving it into a platform for future development.

• Assess the current mobile application, define the target architecture, plan the migration, and deliver an MVP within one to two quarters.


• Build and maintain a reliable React Native application using TypeScript, with a strong focus on performance, scalability, and maintainability.


• Design mobile experiences that remain dependable on low-spec devices, limited connectivity, and challenging real-world conditions.


• Implement offline caching and other resilience strategies to support reliable workflows when connectivity is inconsistent.


• Build and maintain native mobile capabilities such as push notifications, camera-based document and receipt scanning, and geolocation-verified clock-ins.


• Make independent product and UX decisions, balancing user experience, technical quality, scope, and delivery timelines.


• Establish a modular React Native design system and shared component architecture that supports consistent, high-quality development.


• Structure the codebase and development workflows so AI coding agents can contribute effectively while maintaining strong engineering and UX standards.


• Grow the rebuilt application into a scalable mobile platform that other engineers can confidently build upon.


• Partner closely with Product, Design, Engineering, and other teams to define priorities, solve problems, and deliver impactful features.


• Maintain high standards for application performance, API usage, webhooks, testing, reliability, and overall code quality.


• Serve as an outward-facing technical leader for the mobile platform, communicating clearly with engineers and stakeholders across the organisation.


• Use AI tools to accelerate development while maintaining a high bar for craftsmanship, reliability, and product quality.

Requirements

You’ll be a strong fit if you combine deep mobile engineering expertise with strong product judgment, architectural experience, and the independence to take ownership of a platform from the ground up.

• Deep professional experience with React Native and TypeScript, including ownership of production mobile applications from start to finish.


• Experience building native mobile capabilities such as push notifications, camera access, geolocation, or similar platform-specific functionality.


• Strong understanding of mobile application architecture, performance, reliability, testing, and scalable engineering practices.


• Experience building applications with significant real-world usage and high volumes of daily activity.


• Ability to work comfortably across the stack, including reading and lightly extending backend services such as FastAPI when required.


• Familiarity with React web applications and the ability to contribute when mobile initiatives require broader product or engineering support.


• Experience delivering a greenfield application or leading a significant legacy migration, with the ability to explain architectural, testing, and migration decisions.


• Strong product and UX instincts, with evidence of making meaningful product or design decisions rather than simply implementing predefined specifications.


• Comfortable making independent UX and scope decisions when dedicated design support is limited.


• Experience using AI coding tools or agents to accelerate development while maintaining high standards for quality and consistency.


• Experience creating design systems, component libraries, or other reusable foundations that support scalable development.


• Strong ownership mindset, with a focus on solving problems and delivering outcomes rather than simply completing assigned tickets.


• Clear and confident written and verbal communication, with the ability to collaborate effectively across a distributed organisation.


• Experience with people technology, HR technology, B2C/consumer-grade applications, hospitality, food service, or other operational industries is a plus.


• Some hands-on familiarity with native APIs such as Swift or Kotlin is advantageous, though not required.


• Right to work in the UK or EU without requiring visa sponsorship.

• Remote-first working environment across Europe.


• Competitive salary based on experience.


• Meaningful equity participation, giving employees an ownership stake in the business.


• 35 days of paid leave per year, including bank holidays.


• Comprehensive private health insurance through Irish Life in Ireland and AXA in the UK.


• Enhanced parental leave and baby loss support.


• €1,000 annual personal learning and development budget.


• Quarterly book budget to support continuous learning.


• €250 home office workspace budget.


• Regular team offsites and social events.


• Ability to work from anywhere for up to 3 months each year.


• Access to offices in London, Dublin, or Spain.


• Opportunity to shape a critical mobile platform from its earliest stages.


• Significant autonomy, technical ownership, and cross-functional visibility.


• Collaborative, fast-moving environment focused on meaningful product impact.
