About the Role:

• As a senior technology leader you will be responsible for driving the strategy architecture and technical direction of our modernized cross-platform application ecosystem.
• This role blends architectural excellence hands-on engineering and cross- functional leadership to unify iOS Android and backend interfaces into a scalable Kotlin Multiplatform architecture.
• You will lead modernization efforts establish engineering standards guide teams through complex technical decisions and partner closely with product and design stakeholders to deliver a world-class high-performance app experience.

What Youll Do:

• Define and own the Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) strategy and roadmap across iOS & Android teams.
• Lead technical steering committees architecture reviews and cross-functional planning sessions.
• Identify emerging technologies and frameworks to future-proof the mobile ecosystem.
• Design and implement a scalable Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) architecture to unify Android and iOS app development.
• Establish architecture blueprints coding standards and reusable libraries.
• Write production-level code in Kotlin Compose Multiplatform and SwiftUI - balancing speed and maintainability.
• Work closely with Android/iOS engineers to migrate existing features into shared modules.
• Drive modularization networking and persistence layers using Ktor SQLDelight and shared view models.
• Introduce performance benchmarks observability and automated quality gates.
• Collaborate with product and design teams to build beautiful performant user experiences.
• Set up lightweight CI/CD pipelines and code quality gates that work for a small nimble team.
• Mentor mobile engineers transitioning into KMP development and create internal best practices.
• Stay plugged into the latest Kotlin and multiplatform ecosystem updates experimenting and prototyping fast.
• Help shape technical strategy - balancing speed scalability and innovation.

What Were Looking For:

• 10 years of Software Engineering experience (Android and/or iOS) with at least 5 years with KMP expertise.
• Serve as the technical authority and escalation point for complex design architecture and performance challenges.
• Mentor engineers across iOS Android and Backend to develop strong Multiplatform expertise.
• Conduct design reviews code reviews and architecture walkthroughs.
• Build an engineering culture centered on excellence ownership curiosity and continuous improvement.
• Strong Kotlin skills - experience with coroutines Ktor SQL Delight and Gradle builds.
• Hands-on experience with Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP / KMM) in production or POC stages.
• Understanding of Jetpack Compose and SwiftUI for modern UI architecture.
• Comfortable with RESTful APIs offline storage and sync mechanisms.
• Experience building apps end-to-end - from architecture to deployment.
• Startup DNA: you can move fast prioritize and deliver with limited process.
• Excellent communication and mentoring abilities - youll be the go-to for multiplatform questions.

Leadership & Strategic Skills:
