About The Position

At FuntoNetwork, we build technology solutions that are not only innovative but also scalable, secure, and elegantly designed. Our Mobile Architecture team defines the technical backbone for enterprise‑grade mobile applications across iOS, Android, and cross‑platform environments. We partner with product, UX, backend, and cloud teams to deliver seamless digital experiences. By combining architectural rigor with modern DevSecOps practices, we ensure that every mobile solution we architect is ready for scale, security, and continuous evolution.

We are seeking a highly experienced Mobile Solution Architect to lead the design, architecture, and technical strategy of our enterprise mobile applications. In this role, you will define architectural standards, technical patterns, and governance models while guiding engineering teams through the entire development lifecycle. You will architect high‑performance, scalable, and secure mobile solutions across iOS, Android, and cross-platform environments—ensuring seamless integration with backend systems, cloud services, and enterprise security frameworks. The ideal candidate possesses deep hands‑on expertise in native and cross-platform mobile technologies, a strong command of cloud and API architecture, and a proven track record of driving mobile DevSecOps adoption. You will serve as the bridge between business stakeholders and engineering, translating complex requirements into elegant technical blueprints.
