You will have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact with your technical contributions and influence how people think about money. As a Senior Staff Mobile Engineer at EarnIn, you will work cross-functionally with various teams and will have the opportunity to contribute to the design and development of our services and both new and legacy products.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Architecture Leadership: Define, evolve, and advocate for a scalable, modular, and maintainable native mobile architecture across iOS and Android.
• Hands-On Contribution: Lead by example with code and architecture spikes in both platforms.
• Cross-Platform Expertise: Leverage Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) where it makes sense, guiding adoption strategy and avoiding pitfalls of over-abstraction.
• Collaboration: Partner with multiple product engineering teams to ensure mobile features are implemented with architectural integrity while balancing speed and business outcomes.
• Mentorship: Uplift mobile engineers across teams by evangelizing design patterns, clean code practices, testing strategies, and performance optimization.
• Multi-Tasking & Context Switching: Drive architecture conversations across several ongoing initiatives simultaneously without losing depth or rigor.
• Scalability & Performance: Proactively identify bottlenecks, tech debt, and long-term risks; propose solutions that scale with user growth and product expansion.
• Immediate Impact: Jump in quickly to bring clarity, untangle existing architectural challenges, and unlock velocity for ongoing product initiatives.
  
  

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR 

• 8+ years of professional experience in native mobile development with deep expertise in both iOS and Android.
• Demonstrated track record of delivering large-scale, complex mobile applications used by millions.
• Deep knowledge of mobile architecture design patterns (MVC, MVP, MVVM, MVI, Clean Architecture, etc.).
• Proficiency in Swift, SwiftUI, Objective-C (legacy), Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, and Java (legacy).
• Solid understanding of cross-platform approaches, including KMP (must have some hands-on experience).
• Strong grasp of API design, modularization, dependency management, CI/CD, release strategies, and mobile DevOps pipelines.
• Experience in influencing and aligning multiple product engineering teams on architecture decisions.
• Strong communication and leadership skills; ability to explain complex architecture trade-offs to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Experience in modernizing legacy codebases and leading large refactoring efforts is preferred. 
• Exposure to mobile security best practices and handling of sensitive data is preferred. 
• Familiarity with mobile analytics, crash reporting, feature flagging, and experimentation platforms preferred. 
• Experience in fintech, regulated industries, or high-scale consumer applications is a plus.
