Director, Mobile Engineering

Impiricus • Atlanta, GA

12h • $190,000 - $215,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

As Director, Mobile Engineering at Impiricus, you'll own the technical direction for both our mobile (iOS/Android) and backend engineering teams, and set the architecture, standards, and processes that the whole engineering group builds on. You'll lead a talented, cross-functional team of engineers, shape how our mobile apps and backend services are designed and built together, and partner closely with Product, Design, and AI to deliver innovative, high-quality solutions. This is an opportunity to build more than an app — you'll build the organization, engineering culture, and technical foundation that will scale with our business, across the full stack. If you're passionate about developing high-performing teams, driving engineering excellence, and delivering products that make a meaningful impact on healthcare, we'd love to meet you.

Requirements

• 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, spanning both mobile and backend/server-side development.
• 5+ years leading engineering teams, with experience managing engineering managers and scaling organizations across multiple technical disciplines (mobile and backend).
• Deep expertise in modern mobile development (Swift/SwiftUI and/or Kotlin/Jetpack Compose) and solid backend fundamentals — distributed systems, RESTful/GraphQL API design, databases, and service architecture.
• Demonstrated experience defining architecture and technical standards at an organizational level — not just within a single discipline — and driving their adoption across teams.
• Strong understanding of authentication, networking, offline synchronization, mobile security, and application performance, as well as backend scalability, reliability, and security practices.
• Experience establishing engineering best practices (architecture, code review, testing, CI/CD, release management, observability) that apply across an entire engineering group.
• Proven ability to influence cross-functional strategy and partner with Product, Design, and executive leadership.
• Experience recruiting, mentoring, and developing senior engineers and engineering managers across disciplines.
• Excellent communication and organizational leadership skills, balancing technical depth and business impact.

Responsibilities

• Lead and grow a high-performing engineering organization spanning mobile (iOS/Android) and backend, responsible for delivering world-class, reliable products end-to-end.
• Define and execute engineering strategy across mobile and backend, aligning technical initiatives with product and business objectives.
• Own the group's overall technical architecture — including mobile-backend integration, API design, and service architecture — ensuring consistency and scalability across the stack.
• Establish and drive adoption of engineering standards and processes (development, testing, CI/CD, observability, release management, code review).
• Partner closely with Product, Design, and AI to deliver scalable, customer-centric experiences across mobile and backend.
• Drive engineering excellence through architecture reviews, code quality, operational best practices, and continuous improvement across teams.
• Build, mentor, and develop engineering managers and senior engineers across mobile and backend, fostering a culture of ownership, collaboration, and accountability.
• Design secure, scalable APIs, backend services, and high-performance mobile solutions in an integrated way, rather than as two disconnected efforts.
• Ensure all applications and services meet the highest standards for security, privacy, reliability, accessibility, and performance.
• Lead technical planning and execution for strategic initiatives, balancing innovation, scalability, and delivery velocity across the group.
• Oversee organizational growth, hiring, and adoption of emerging technologies — including AI-powered capabilities — across mobile and backend.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision coverage for you and your dependents + on-demand healthcare concierge
• HSA, FSA & DCFSA: Pre-tax savings options for healthcare and dependent care, with monthly employer contributions to HSA (if enrolled in a high-deductible plan)
• 100% paid short- and long-term disability, plus life and AD&D insurance
• Flexible vacation policy
• Paid parental leave to spend time with your newborn, adopted, or foster child (available after 6 months)
• 401(k) with company match
