• Own mobile release quality – drive testing strategy, monitor crash rates and performance metrics, and maintain release cadence.
• Partner with product managers and designers to shape what gets built, balancing user impact with technical feasibility.
• Make architectural decisions on mobile patterns such as modularisation, dependency injection, reactive patterns, and navigation architecture.
• Coach and develop engineers through regular 1:1s, pairing sessions, and career‑development conversations.
• Manage cross‑team dependencies with backend, platform, and infrastructure teams.
• Contribute to mobile engineering standards and practices across talabat.

Required profile

• 6+ years of hands‑on mobile engineering experience (iOS, Android, or Flutter).
• 2+ years leading and managing mobile engineering teams, including hiring and performance management.
• Deep understanding of mobile app architecture and ability to evaluate trade‑offs between native vs cross‑platform solutions.
• Experience shipping mobile apps at scale (100K+ daily active users) with a focus on performance, reliability, and user experience.
• Strong automated‑testing mindset and experience with CI/CD pipelines for mobile.
• Experience with mobile release management, feature flagging, and gradual rollouts.
• Comfort working in a fast‑paced, iterative environment where priorities shift based on customer data.
