Description
Staff Mobile Engineer
Location: This position can be located remotely anywhere in the US
Company Overview
Robots & Pencils is an applied AI engineering firm building the next frontier of business architecture. We design and ship AI co-workers that integrate into enterprise operations and deliver measurable results for our clients. We're all in on AWS, combining deep UX capability with senior engineering talent to get AI into production fast and keep it there. We’ve earned the trust of leaders across Consumer Products and Retail, Education, Energy, Financial Services, Healthcare, and Manufacturing and more, and earned a reputation as the nimble alternative to traditional global systems integrators. Founded in 2009, with delivery centers in Canada, the United States, Eastern Europe, and Latin America, we are smaller, faster, and more senior by design. Our teams average 15+ years of experience. We move fast, sweat the details, and build things that actually ship.
Position Overview
We’re looking for a Staff Mobile Engineer to lead the architecture and delivery of complex mobile applications across iOS and Android. This role is ideal for an experienced engineer who can define mobile architecture and technical strategy, lead complex system development, and confidently own large parts of the mobile stack end-to-end.
In this role, you will work as a key technical contributor on a cross-functional team, defining standards and best practices, building scalable systems, and solving complex integration challenges. You’ll mentor more junior engineers, collaborate closely with senior engineers and leadership, and deliver high-quality work where reliability, performance, and scalability are critical.
Why This Role Matters
At Robots & Pencils, we design AI systems for a human world. Our name says it all. Robots and pencils means engineering paired with creativity, because every agent we ship has to work for real people in real workflows. That balance is baked into how we operate. Every role here contributes directly to that mission. Here, you shape how AI systems integrate into enterprise operations, how teams move at real velocity, and how products create measurable impact for clients and the people they serve. We ship production-ready AI in 30 to 45 days. That pace demands people who take ownership, lead with craft, and care deeply about what they put their name on.
What You’ll Do
Craft & Delivery
Define mobile architecture and technical strategy across iOS and Android applications (e.g., Swift, Kotlin)
Lead design and implementation of scalable mobile platforms and complex UI systems (e.g., SwiftUI, UIKit, Jetpack Compose)
Define mobile development standards and best practices, and contribute to shared design systems
Drive mobile performance, scalability, and reliability across deployed applications
Own implementation of mobile security best practices including authentication, secure storage, and biometric authentication
Lead monitoring, observability, and crash reporting across production mobile systems (e.g., Firebase Crashlytics, Sentry)
Own CI/CD strategy and release management across the App Store and Google Play (e.g., Fastlane, GitHub Actions, Bitrise)
Bring an AI-forward mindset to your daily work, using tools like Claude, Cursor, and other modern AI assistants to ship higher-quality work at pace
Collaboration & Communication
Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to align technical decisions with product and business goals
Communicate complex technical tradeoffs an
