You will help lead technical initiatives, mentor junior engineers, and own the design and implementation of complex features. Beyond excellent engineering skills, you bring product thinking, a quality mindset, and a collaborative spirit.

In this role – You will drive our strategy to deliver world-class travel experiences through high-performing mobile apps. You’ll lead an agile team of iOS and Android engineers, owning core components such as user authentication, seamless booking flows, trip management, and real-time notifications. You will enable innovation at scale and guide the team through architectural, platform, and process evolutions.
You will be responsible to:

• Drive end-to-end product and technology execution by anticipating cross-team bottlenecks, leading implementation of new approaches, defining success metrics, managing product lifecycle (including phase-out), and partnering with Product and Architecture to deliver the roadmap.

• Ensure engineering excellence and platform health by advocating for best-in-class software design, modern frameworks and architectures, operational rigor (testing, resiliency, scalability, SLAs), system reliability, observability, and continuous improvement of the technology stack.

• Align technology with business outcomes through deep understanding of customer needs, industry trends, and business drivers, effectively bridging technical and non-technical stakeholders and ensuring improvements are prioritized and executed with clear business impact.

• Lead and scale high-performing engineering teams by assessing skill gaps, optimizing resource utilization and staffing mix, developing action plans, and ensuring teams deliver high-scale, low-latency, customer-critical services.

• Develop talent and fosters a culture of growth by mentoring and coaching Individual Contributors and Managers, providing regular feedback, supporting professional development, sharing domain knowledge across teams, and driving performance management, hiring, and succession planning.

• Lead AI-first adoption and automation by championing AI-assisted design, development, testing, and operational workflows; identifying high-impact use cases; and driving measurable improvements in engineering productivity, quality, and time-to-market through responsible and scalable AI integration.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s (8+ years) or Master’s (6+ years) in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience.

• 3+ years of people management and experience recruiting, onboarding, and developing engineers.

• Hands-on experience with both iOS (Swift/Objective-C) and Android (Kotlin/Java), with deep system design expertise.

• Proven success delivering consumer-facing mobile apps, including the App Store/Play Store release process.

• Experience mentoring staff, coordinating distributed teams, driving operational excellence, and delivering in an agile environment.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Strong hands-on background in native mobile development using Swift (iOS) and Kotlin (Android), with the ability to guide clean, scalable, and modular architecture decisions.

• Experience leading multi-platform mobile teams (iOS & Android), driving platform consistency, reusable components, and shared engineering standards.

• Deep familiarity with modern mobile architectures, cross-platform trade-offs, and cloud/mobile backend integrations (e.g., Firebase, AWS Mobile).

• Proven experience implementing and scaling CI/CD pipelines, release orchestration, and mobile observability (crash analytics, performance monitoring, production diagnostics).

• Experience owning end-to-end mobile delivery from architecture and development to release governance and production reliability.

• Demonstrated ability to mentor senior engineers, grow tech leads, and build high-performing native engineering teams.

• Contributions to the mobile engineering community (open source, speaking engagements, technical publications) are a plus.

• Exposure to UI development and front-end implementation practices, including working with component libraries, understanding HTML/CSS constraints, and collaborating closely with engineers on design handoff.
