We’re looking for a Senior Mobile Engineer to help shape the future of Kikoff’s main credit building app. This product is central to our mission of helping millions of Americans build stronger credit. This role has three main areas of focus: • Grow the app. Improve the journey from download to active, paying member, including the app store, onboarding, identity verification, and the first credit action. • Own payments and monetization. Build subscription, payment, and billing experiences that are fast, reliable, and easy to trust. • Improve the mobile platform. Evolve the architecture, tooling, and release process for a Flutter app used by millions, helping a growing team ship faster without sacrificing quality.

Mobile platform • Evolve Flutter architecture, modularity, and performance/observability for multi-team scale. • Improve CI/CD, releases, codegen, testing, and the design system/component library to speed experimentation. What We’re Looking For • At least 5 years of mobile development experience, with a record of building and scaling production apps on iOS or Android. • Growth impact: You have owned onboarding, activation, or monetization funnels for a consumer app and can point to metrics you improved. • Mobile architecture: You understand state management, patterns such as MVVM, MVI, and Clean Architecture, and the realities of maintaining a large codebase. • Production ownership: You have shipped consumer apps at scale, handled crashes and edge cases, and supported features across many releases. • Platform expertise: You have a solid foundation in iOS with Swift, UIKit, or SwiftUI, or Android with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose. • Data fluency: You are comfortable with analytics tools, funnel analysis, and experiment results, and you use evidence to make decisions. • Testing mindset: Unit, integration, and UI tests are a normal part of how you build. • API integration: You have experience with REST APIs, asynchronous operations, error states, and reliable network layers.
