Our client is seeking a Development

RESPONSIBILITIES

Team Leadership

• Lead, mentor and line-manage a team of 5+ mobile engineers across iOS, Android and Flutter; allocate work, set objectives, run one-to-ones and support career development.
• Own team capacity planning, estimation and delivery commitments; identify skill gaps and drive hiring, onboarding and upskilling.
• Create a culture of engineering excellence, knowledge sharing and constructive peer feedback.

Hands-On Engineering

• Remain hands-on in the codebase typically 40-60% of time delivering complex features, technical spikes, performance-critical components and production fixes.
• Define and own the mobile architecture: modularisation, dependency management, shared component libraries and platform abstraction layers.
• Select and enforce appropriate design patterns and architectures (MVVM, MVI, Clean Architecture, Repository, Dependency Injection; BLoC / Riverpod / Provider for Flutter) and prevent architectural drift.
• Own non-functional requirements: application security, startup and runtime performance, memory and battery efficiency, offline behaviour, accessibility and app-store compliance.

Code Quality & Engineering Standards

• Conduct code reviews and set the standard for what a good review looks like; define review SLAs, checklists and escalation paths.
• Define and enforce coding standards, branching and release strategy, static analysis, linting, and unit/UI test coverage thresholds.

REQUIRED SKILLS & EXPERIENCE

• Minimum 8 years of professional mobile application development experience, including at least 2 years leading or managing a team of 5 or more engineers.
• Deep hands-on expertise in native mobile development: iOS (Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit) and/or Android (Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Android SDK).
• Strong production experience with Flutter and Dart, including state management, platform channels and native plugin integration.
• Proven track record of designing mobile application architecture and enforcing design patterns across a team and a multi-year codebase.
• Demonstrated ability to review and reason about API designs, integration contracts and end-to-end process flows.
• Strong testing discipline: unit, widget/UI, integration and end-to-end testing; test automation frameworks and quality gates.
• Practical CI/CD experience with tooling such as Fastlane, Bitrise, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI or Azure DevOps, including certificate and provisioning management.
• Expert Git workflow knowledge and experience defining branching and release strategies for a team.
• Working knowledge of mobile application security: secure storage, certificate pinning, obfuscation, biometric authentication, OAuth 2.0 / OIDC, JWT and secure session handling.
• Experience implementing and governing a design system, working from Figma or equivalent design handoff, and applying accessibility guidelines.
• Demonstrable, current use of AI-assisted coding tools in a professional engineering workflow.
• Experience with crash reporting, analytics and performance monitoring tooling (Firebase Crashlytics, Sentry, New Relic, App Store Connect and Play Console metrics).
• Strong requirements-gathering and stakeholder-management skills, with excellent written and verbal English communication.
• Experience delivering in an Agile / Scrum environment.

PREFERRED / ADVANTAGEOUS

• Arabic language proficiency (spoken and written) strongly preferred.
• Experience delivering trading, brokerage, exchange, wealth-management or fintech mobile applications.
• Domain understanding of trading concepts: order types and order entry, order book and market depth, watchlists, portfolio and positions, real-time market data feeds, charting libraries (for example TradingView), digital onboarding and KYC journeys, and post-trade views.
• Experience handling high-frequency real-time data streams on mobile clients at scale.
• Exposure to Kotlin Multiplatform, React Native or other cross-platform frameworks.
• Cloud, container and backend familiarity (AWS or Azure, Docker, Kubernetes, serverless).
• Experience with app modularisation or micro-frontend approaches on mobile.
• Track record of published applications with substantial download or active-user volumes.
• Awareness of financial-services regulatory, data-protection and information-security obligations.

QUALIFICATIONS & EDUCATION

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology or a related discipline, or equivalent demonstrable experience.

Relevant professional certifications (Apple, Google, cloud platform, Agile) are advantageous.

Preferred candidate profile

• Technical leadership and decision-making under ambiguity.
• Pragmatism balancing engineering quality with delivery deadlines.
• Ownership and accountability for outcomes, not just output.
• Clear communication across technical and business audiences.
• Coaching and developing engineers.
• Attention to detail, particularly around quality, security and user experience.
