**About Termius
**Termius is a cross-platform SSH client used by millions of engineers worldwide. Secure synchronization keeps hosts, credentials, and settings available across desktop and mobile devices, helping engineers access and manage remote systems from anywhere. Our iOS and Android apps are full-fledged companions to the desktop experience, not lightweight add-ons.
We're looking for a Mobile Tech Lead / Architect to own the technical direction of Termius on both mobile platforms. You'll lead a distributed team of four engineers (2 iOS, 2 Android) across several countries.
What You Will Do
-
Own the mobile architecture and technical roadmap for iOS and Android, keeping both platforms consistent with each other and with the desktop product.
-
Lead and mentor the mobile team through code reviews, technical coaching, and clear engineering standards.
-
Stay hands-on: design and build complex features, and resolve critical issues on either platform when needed.
-
Improve the mobile foundation, including CI/CD, release processes, testing, crash monitoring, and incremental modernization of the existing codebase.
-
Bring modern engineering practices to the team, including AI-assisted development workflows that measurably improve delivery.
