- Lead technical design decisions, mentor developers at all levels, and collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders.
- Contribute meaningfully to the team's roadmap and engineering culture.
- Take full ownership of Geotab's mobile platform — from architecture and feature delivery to reliability, performance, and quality.
- Architect and deliver scalable solutions, prototypes, MVPs, and PoCs.
- Communicate design decisions, progress, risks, and trade-offs to stakeholders.
- Lead identification and resolution of improvement areas in existing code and architecture.
- Proactively propose and drive technical improvements across the team.
- Work with high-level requirements, proactively collaborate with stakeholders to drive clarity, and deliver a world-class product.
- Write clean, secure, and maintainable mobile software.
- Set and uphold the engineering quality bar for the team through rigorous code review, disciplined testing, and a relentless focus on reliability, scalability, and quality.
- Define and drive mobile architecture patterns, frameworks, and engineering standards.
- 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.
- Establish and maintain rigorous mobile testing practices — unit, UI, integration, and regression.
- 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.
- Evaluate and adopt emerging mobile platform capabilities and SDK updates.
- Proactively surface technical debt and drive resolution to maintain a healthy, modern codebase.
- Use AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, or equivalent) as a core part of your daily workflow.
- Actively evaluate emerging AI tools and engineering best practices.
- Introduce high-value AI techniques to the team, champion adoption, and contribute to Geotab's internal AI development standards.
- Collaborate with developers and adjacent teams on technical design and implementation.
- Promote engineering consistency across products.
- Lead technical discussions and communicate complex concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Lead team documentation practices — system design docs, ADRs, etc.
- Contribute to Geotab global strategic initiatives by taking ownership of complex, cross-cutting technical deliverables.
- Participate in 24x7 on-call rotation (if applicable).
- Serve as a senior responder in incident detection, response, and resolution.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree or diploma in Computer Science, Mathematics, Software Engineering, or a related field.
- Approximately 5-8 years of relevant industry experience.
- Strong communication skills - able to clearly convey complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Demonstrated ability to mentor and develop other engineers.
- Self-directed, with the ability to operate independently and navigate ambiguity.
- Collaborative mindset with a track record of effective cross-team partnership.
- Enthusiasm for exploring and applying AI tools to enhance team productivity, solve hard problems, and accelerate delivery.
- Proficiency in AI-assisted development tools such as GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, or equivalent platforms, with demonstrated integration of AI tooling into development workflows.
- Experience using AI tools to automate test generation, draft documentation, and accelerate code reviews.
- Deep expertise in native mobile development — Swift/SwiftUI for iOS and/or Kotlin/Jetpack Compose for Android — or strong experience with cross-platform frameworks (React Native, Flutter) with native bridging capabilities.
- Proven track record of shipping high-quality, production-grade mobile applications at scale, with full ownership over reliability, performance, and quality.
- Strong understanding of mobile architecture patterns (MVVM, Clean Architecture, MVI) and the ability to apply them pragmatically.
- Experience with mobile CI/CD pipelines (Fastlane, Bitrise, GitHub Actions) and end-to-end management of App Store and Google Play release processes.
- Proficiency in mobile testing frameworks and strategies (XCTest, Espresso, Detox, or equivalent) with a strong bias toward test coverage as a quality gate.
- Solid understanding of mobile performance optimization — memory management, battery usage, network efficiency, and offline-first design patterns.
- Experience improving software architecture for scalability, testability, and maintainability.
- Background in fleet telematics or connected vehicle platforms (Nice to Have).
- Experience integrating mobile apps with real-time data streams, WebSockets, or MQTT (Nice to Have).
- Familiarity with mobile security best practices (data encryption, certificate pinning, secure storage) (Nice to Have).
- Experience with embedded or IoT device communication from mobile (BLE, CAN bus, device pairing) (Nice to Have).
