Senior Mobile Engineer / Mobile Lead

Set the technical direction for mobile.

AbleCredit builds software for complex enterprise workflows where AI, APIs, business rules, human decisions, and real-world operations have to work together reliably. We care about building products that work in production - not just in demos. We're looking for a senior engineer to own the technical foundations of our mobile applications: architecture, reliability, performance, release safety, and the engineering practices that allow the mobile team to scale.

What You'll Own?

• Define mobile architecture and technical direction across our applications.

• Own reliability, performance, crash/ANR reduction, observability, and release quality.

• Establish testing, CI/CD, staged rollout, feature flag, and production monitoring practices.

• Lead technically complex mobile initiatives that span backend, infrastructure, product, and design.

• Review architecture and critical code while mentoring mobile engineers.

• Reduce long-term complexity through platform components, shared libraries, and clear engineering standards.

What We're Looking For?

• 8+ years of software engineering experience with substantial production mobile ownership.

• Deep expertise in Android, iOS, or cross-platform mobile architecture, with strong understanding of native platform behavior.

• Experience designing and evolving large production mobile applications.
