Chapter Lead Mobile

Chapter Lead - Mobile Engineering (Manila)

ABOUT THE COMPANY
EROAD is a global fleet management technology company providing GPS tracking dashcams compliance automation and driver safety tools to fleet operators across New Zealand Australia the Philippines and the USA and were growing our mobile engineering capability as we standardise and rewrite architecture across 10 mobile apps which is why were hiring a Chapter Lead - Mobile Engineering to lead that chapter.

WHAT YOULL DO
Youll own the technical and people direction of our mobile engineering chapter split roughly 70/30 between hands-on technical leadership and chapter development.

• Set architectural direction and code quality standards for iOS and Android apps built natively and cross-platform

• Own CI/CD testing and platform integration practices across the chapter

• Directly manage and develop 5 mobile engineers across squads including coaching and 1:1s

• Lead recruitment and capability development for the chapter

• Manage performance including having direct difficult conversations and running formal processes such as PIPs when needed

• Report into the Domain Chapter Lead and represent mobile engineering across the wider organisation

WHAT YOU NEED
Youll need solid mobile engineering depth and either proven people leadership or strong technical leadership potential.

• 5 years of professional mobile engineering experience native (Swift/Kotlin) or cross-platform (React Native Flutter KMM)

• At least one app shipped and maintained in a public app store

• Strong knowledge of mobile application architecture deployment crash reporting and app analytics

• Familiarity with agile methodologies and product-led squads

• Experience with mobile security testing CI/CD and observability practices

• Either strong proven people leadership experience with generic modern mobile experience (Kotlin Flutter or similar) or strong individual-contributor mobile engineering experience with leadership potential and hands-on Kotlin Multiplatform (KMM) experience

• Demonstrated ability to have difficult conversations push back and manage performance including with people youre close to

• Cross-platform expertise (React Native Flutter KMM) is a fine substitute for native-only Swift/Kotlin depth if youre coming in via the strong people leadership path

• Strong technical leadership without formal line-management authority is fine in place of having formally managed a team of around 5 if you bring strong technical depth and KMM experience

• SaaS or connected hardware/mobile integration experience SwiftUI Jetpack Compose MVVM Redux and mobile CI/CD tools such as Bitrise Fastlane or AppCenter are all a bonus not a requirement

Youll take on a high-visibility leadership role at the centre of a major mobile architecture transformation with real scope to shape both the technical direction and the team.
