- Provide day-to-day technical leadership to contractor engineers working in mobile codebases
- Bring mobile-informed perspective to the broader product stack, contributing to web and backend work as needed
- Design and build robust, scalable, secure features in our flagship mobile app (React Native, iOS + Android), owning the hardest and most ambiguous mobile technical problems
- Set and maintain mobile engineering standards company-wide: architecture patterns, code quality practices, testing strategy, CI/CD, release/versioning process, app store submission and compliance, and crash/performance monitoring
- Provide technical leadership to contractor engineers working on mobile: reviewing designs and code, mentoring on React Native and native iOS/Android practices, and making sure contractor work aligns with LINQ’s architecture and standards
- Diagnose and resolve the most complex mobile issues — performance, stability, native module, and platform-specific (iOS/Android) problems that require deep native expertise
- Own production health for the mobile app: monitoring, crash triage, release quality, and app store standing
- Contribute to the companion web application and backend API as needed — enough to ship cross-stack features and represent mobile constraints/needs in web and backend design discussions
- Influence LINQ’s broader technical roadmap and strategy as it relates to mobile, partnering with engineering leadership, product, and other technical leads
- Actively participate in agile scrum ceremonies — sprint planning, reviews, retrospectives — and help the team continuously improve its process and delivery
- Mentor engineers at all levels on mobile development, fostering a culture of technical excellence and continuous learning

- Real, hands-on native mobile development experience — Swift/Xcode for iOS and/or Kotlin/Android Studio for Android — not just cross-platform (React Native) experience
- Strong proficiency in TypeScript for cross-platform mobile development
- Demonstrated ability to lead technically — setting architecture and direction, reviewing others' work, and raising the bar for a team — including experience guiding contractors or engineers you don't formally manage
- Experience owning mobile CI/CD, release processes, and app store submission/compliance (Apple App Store and Google Play)
- Strong understanding of mobile app performance, stability, and production monitoring (crash reporting, analytics, remote config/feature flagging)
- Experience with Git for version control and working in an Agile/Scrum environment
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to communicate effectively with engineers, contractors, and leadership
- Ability to describe, present, and influence architectural decisions across teams
- Experience contributing to Angular-based web applications
- Familiarity with C#/.NET, or general comfort navigating and contributing to backend/API codebases
- Experience with common mobile SDKs used in production consumer apps: feature flagging, crash/analytics monitoring, authentication providers, and in-app support/engagement tools
- Experience with localization/internationalization in a mobile app serving a multilingual user base
- Experience in fintech, payments, or another domain with strong security and compliance requirements
- Prior experience as a technical lead for distributed teams that include contractors, including cross-timezone collaboration
