Position Overview

The company is seeking a Senior Mobile Engineer to lead the ground-up rebuild of its consumer panel mobile app using React Native. The role spans the full product lifecycle — from architecture decisions and UX discussions to CI/CD pipelines and App Store releases — while ensuring a seamless transition from the existing legacy app for millions of panelists across Asia-Pacific.

Role & Responsibilities

• Build a new mobile app from scratch on a modern, scalable architecture using React Native, while analyzing the existing legacy app to ensure functional parity for current users
• Take full ownership of technology selection, critical architectural decisions, and driving continuous improvement of the codebase
• Lead the full lifecycle from UX discussions and technical design to implementation, testing, and production rollout
• Own the mobile CI/CD pipelines (Fastlane, GitHub Actions) and manage the entire app store submission process for both iOS and Android
• Ensure crash-free session rate ≥ 99.5% and ANR within industry norms through robust observability and crash reporting using Sentry and Firebase

Must Have Criteria

• 7–12 years of professional experience in mobile application development
• Deep production experience with React Native, with the ability to drop into native iOS (Swift) or Android (Kotlin) for bridge modules, background tasks, and OS-level performance issues
• Strong understanding of modern architecture patterns — MVVM, MVP, and Declarative UI — applied in production mobile applications
• Proven experience building mobile applications from scratch on modern stacks, with the ability to analyze and interpret legacy codebases to ensure functional parity
• Experience building automated testing suites covering Unit, Integration, and E2E tests to ensure production-ready code quality
• Expert knowledge of CI/CD for mobile, including Fastlane, code signing, provisioning profile management, and managing automated releases to the App Store and Play Store

Nice to Have

• Experience working in Agile development environments with iterative sprint-based delivery
• Experience collaborating on UX design and applying user-centered design principles in mobile product development
• Proven track record of optimizing mobile performance — app size, startup time, rendering speed, and memory footprint
• Hands-on experience with mobile accessibility standards (VoiceOver on iOS, TalkBack on Android) and internationalization (i18n/l10n)
• Strong working knowledge of design systems and component libraries applied in a React Native codebase
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or a related technical field

What We Offer

• Rare greenfield opportunity to architect and build a consumer app used by millions of panelists across Asia-Pacific
• High ownership and autonomy — you drive technology decisions, not just implement them
• Hybrid work model based out of Embassy Tech Village, Bellandur, Bangalore
• Exposure to large-scale data systems combining behavioral, survey, and purchase data
• Growth opportunities within a global organization
