Mobile App Team Lead (iOS/Android) — FinTech (Confidential) | eMagine Solutions

eMagine Solutions is hiring a Mobile App Team Lead for a confidential FinTech client building a mobile trading app across iOS and Android. This is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll own delivery, releases, and the day-to-day direction of the mobile team through launch and beyond.

If you’re the kind of lead who can still get stuck into code, keep a team focused, and ship clean releases without drama, we should talk.

What you’ll be doing

• Lead and support the mobile engineers across iOS and Android (priorities, delivery, quality)
• Break down work into clear tasks, assign ownership, remove blockers, and keep timelines honest
• Run technical design discussions and make sure solutions are scalable, secure, and maintainable
• Review code, coach engineers, and keep standards high (architecture, patterns, clean code)
• Own the full release process for Apple App Store and Google Play (versioning, submissions, release notes, store assets, compliance requirements)
• Work closely with Product, UI/UX, Backend, QA, DevOps, Security, Compliance, and stakeholders
• Drive performance and reliability (crashes, memory, responsiveness, platform-specific issues)
• Improve how the team works over time (estimation, CI/CD, automation, testing, monitoring)

What we need from you

• 7+ years in mobile development
• 2+ years in a mobile team lead / technical lead role
• Strong hands-on experience in either:
• iOS using Swift, or
• Android using Kotlin/Java
• Solid understanding of both mobile ecosystems (even if you’re stronger in one)
• Proven experience publishing and maintaining apps on both the App Store and Google Play
• Comfortable integrating REST APIs, JSON, third-party SDKs, auth flows, and mobile data layers
• Confident working with common architecture patterns (MVVM/MVP/MVC/Clean Architecture)

Skills

Nice to have (but not essential)

• FinTech, trading, forex, banking, payments, onboarding, or other high-performance app experience
• iOS: UIKit, CoreData, App Store Connect, Apple frameworks
• Android: Jetpack, Room, Retrofit, Coroutines, Firebase, Google Play Console
• Monitoring tools like Crashlytics, Sentry, App Center (or similar)
• Mobile security experience (biometrics, secure storage, encrypted communication)
• Strong Agile/Scrum delivery habits
• Uses AI tools sensibly to speed up delivery, improve testing, and keep documentation tight
