The Role
Neo Financial is seeking an accomplished, versatile Senior Mobile Engineer to join our team in Calgary. This senior role demands deep technical expertise and architectural leadership across our complex, multi-platform ecosystem, which includes native iOS (Swift/SwiftUI), native Android (Kotlin/Jetpack Compose), and React Native (TypeScript) applications.

You will own core features from concept to deployment, driving architectural decisions, mentoring junior and intermediate engineers, and ensuring the delivery of polished, performant, and highly-rated mobile experiences at scale. You will be a champion for engineering excellence, performance optimization, and advanced CI/CD strategies.

What You'll Be Doing

• Architectural Ownership: Define, implement, and maintain the cross-platform mobile architecture to ensure scalability, reliability, and security across iOS, Android, and React Native.
• Technical Leadership: Act as a subject matter expert in complex mobile domains (e.g., state management, deep linking, build systems, performance tuning) and mentor intermediate engineers, fostering a culture of technical rigor and best practices.
• Performance Engineering: Lead optimization efforts to achieve exceptional app performance, startup times, memory efficiency, and network latency, especially when interfacing with our GraphQL API.
• Advanced Multi-Platform Development: Design and implement reusable, high-quality features and components using Swift/SwiftUI, Kotlin/Jetpack Compose, and TypeScript/React Native, ensuring consistency and adherence to platform-specific standards.
• DevOps & Automation: Drive improvements and ownership of our CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Fastlane, GitHub Actions) to accelerate release cycles, ensure rigorous quality gates, and leverage AI/ML tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot) for maximal engineering velocity.
• Cross-Functional Strategy: Collaborate closely with product, design, and backend engineering leads to translate high-level product strategy into robust technical execution plans and resolve critical cross-stack integration challenges.
• Quality & Standards: Elevate the standard for code quality by performing rigorous code reviews, defining robust unit, integration, and UI testing strategies, and promoting test-driven development.

Who We Are Looking For

• 6+ years of full-time professional experience in architecting, building, and scaling high-traffic, customer-facing mobile applications.
• Proven track record in a Technical Leadership or Mentorship role, guiding peers and owning large-scale technical projects.
• Expert-level proficiency in one or more core mobile stacks (Native iOS with Swift/SwiftUI, Native Android with Kotlin/Jetpack Compose, or Cross-Platform with React Native/TypeScript).
• Advanced proficiency with GraphQL for efficient API interaction and deep expertise in mobile security best practices.
• Mastery of CI/CD tools (e.g., Fastlane, GitHub Actions) and the entire app release lifecycle for both the App Store and Google Play Store.
• Must be an Architectural Thinker—able to design scalable, maintainable, and secure long-term systems.
• Must be a Results-Driven Owner, thriving on taking full ownership of complex, ambiguous problems in a fast-paced environment.

Location: Must be eligible to work in Canada and willing to relocate to Calgary
