What you have

  • 6+ years as an engineer in a role that was mostly about writing mobile code (either Android or iOS)
  • 3+ years of experience as an Engineering Manager of high caliber, motivated native mobile teams
  • Irreproachable technical skills, and your team should look up to you as a mentor
  • Knowledge of industry technology trends so you can help your team make good tooling and framework decisions
  • Excellent strategic mind able to set technical direction
  • An understanding of how to lead by setting context and facilitating collaboration between product, design, engineering and business leaders
  • Experience owning an entire high-quality consumer-facing Android application, including release, vendor, and platform management
