Lead Mobile Engineer - React Native

you will spearhead the rebuild of our native mobile application using React Native and AI-powered development tools. This is a key strategic role: you will lay the foundations (architecture, CI/CD pipelines, tooling, and best practices) and then scale the mobile scope well beyond what we deliver today.

Lead the full rebuild of our existing native mobile applications using React Native, from scratch
Define and implement the mobile architecture, ensuring scalability, performance, and maintainability
Set up the complete CI/CD pipeline for mobile (build, test, distribution, store deployment)
Leverage AI-powered tools (code generation, assisted testing, copilot-style workflows) to accelerate development and raise quality standards
Establish mobile engineering best practices: code structure, testing strategy, release management, and monitoring
Collaborate closely with product managers, designers, backend engineers, and stakeholders to deliver a world-class mobile experience
Progressively extend the mobile scope beyond the current feature set, bringing more of the DiliTrust platform to mobile users
Mentor the mobile team as the project scales
Stay on top of React Native ecosystem evolutions, mobile platform changes, and AI tooling advancements
