Define and drive mobile architecture patterns, frameworks, and engineering standards that enable the team to ship at speed without compromising stability.
Deliver high-performance, maintainable, and testable mobile features; ensure time-sensitive fleet data, GPS tracking, real-time alerts, and telematics insights render flawlessly on-device.
Optimize apps for battery life, memory efficiency, network usage, and graceful offline behaviour in constrained fleet environments.
Establish and maintain rigorous mobile testing practices — unit, UI, integration, and regression — to safeguard release quality and minimize production incidents. Own mobile CI/CD pipelines and the App Store / Google Play release process end-to-end.
Integrate with Geotab's telematics backend APIs; collaborate with backend, hardware, and firmware teams to ensure data integrity from device to mobile display. Evaluate and adopt emerging mobile platform capabilities and SDK updates; proactively surface technical debt and drive resolution to maintain a healthy, modern codebase.
