Senior Mobile Engineer

Canada - Remote

Ready to accelerate your career?

Cardata is where driven people make an outsized impact. We’re a small but mighty team transforming how businesses manage vehicle reimbursement — replacing outdated programs with smart, automated solutions.

Our vision is bold: to provide the most comprehensive, intelligent, and automated software and services for creating ideal vehicle programs. And we’re building toward that vision every single day.

Join us and you’ll find challenge, growth, and the chance to deliver real impact — helping hundreds of companies and thousands of drivers across North America focus on the work that matters most to them.

We're hiring a Senior Mobile Engineer to help build and evolve Cardata's driver app. The app is built in React Native with a meaningful native footprint on both iOS and Android and is mission-critical for thousands of drivers across North America. You'll own features end-to-end, from the React Native layer down to native code when the work calls for it. Our roadmap includes exciting challenges across AI, enterprise-scale workflows, and complex integrations that power some of our most strategic customer experiences.

We want engineers with strong fundamentals who are passionate about using clean code, sensible patterns, with a feel for when to reach for abstraction and when not to. If you're already fluent in using Cursor, Claude Code, or similar to move faster without lowering your standards, you'll fit right in.

The Team

The Mobile Team at Cardata is responsible for the driver app, which our customers' drivers use every day to track trips and submit mileage. There's more native code than people expect. Motion detection, background tracking, and the bridge layer that keeps RN and the native side talking to each other are all written in platform specific languages. Most of our hard problems live at that boundary, which is why we put real care into the patterns we use.

We value engineers who can move pragmatically through ambiguity, ship incrementally, and make thoughtful technical tradeoffs without overcomplicating solutions.

  • We prioritize shipping real value quickly through small, functional slices
  • We collaborate directly with product and SMEs to reduce ambiguity and rework
  • We use AI-assisted development workflows to increase speed without sacrificing quality
  • We emphasize clean architecture, strong fundamentals, and continuous improvement

What you'll be doing

Mobile Development

  • Build features in React Native, end-to-end, from concept to production.
  • Drop into native code when the work calls for it
  • Own React Native upgrades, dependency management, new architecture migrations, and the occasional Java-to-Kotlin or Obj-C-to-Swift cleanup.
  • Help shape our component library and design system as it evolves.

AI-Accelerated Development

  • Use Cursor, Claude Code, or similar to prototype quickly, reduce boilerplate, and assist with debugging, refactoring, and test generation.
  • Compose AI workflows beyond prompt engineering: agents, subagents, custom skills, and MCPs, used deliberately to hit a goal.
  • Help us improve how the team uses AI as the tooling matures.

Engineering Excellence

  • Write clean, maintainable, well-tested code
  • Contribute to code reviews, ADRs, and engineering standards
  • Help define and evolve best practices, patterns, and architecture
  • Ensure high quality through testing

Collaboration & Ownership

  • Curiosity counts. We want engineers who notice gaps and come up with solutions that improve the experience for our drivers.
  • Work closely with Product, Design, other engineers, and SME’s from other parts of Cardata to shape solutions, not just implement tickets
  • Break complex problems into clear, shippable increments.
  • Own delivery from start to finish.


What you will Bring
Core Experience

  • 6–8+ years of mobile development experience, with substantial React Native production experience.
  • Strong TypeScript and React Native skills.
  • Comfortable in native iOS code (Swift and Obj-C) to debug, fix, and ship when the work calls for it.
  • You've used MVI or similar patterns to keep native logic structured.

Mobile Architectural Strength

  • Deep understanding of:
    • Component architecture and design systems
    • State-driven architecture patterns like MVVM and MVI
    • Redux Toolkit and modern state management
    • Performance optimization and UX best practices

AI-Native Development

  • Hands-on experience using Cursor, Claude Code, or similar AI tools in your development workflow
  • Familiar with spec-driven workflows and the efficiency gains they unlock.
  • Strong judgment on when to trust AI-generated code and when to verify it.

Engineering Fundamentals

  • Experience working in fast-paced, ambiguous environments
  • Proven ability to scope, break down, and deliver complex features

Collaboration & Communication

  • Strong communicator. You can work across Product, Design, and other SMEs and explain technical decisions clearly.
  • High ownership. You drive things to completion.

Nice to have

  • Comfortable or eager to work in Kotlin and the Android ecosystem
  • Familiarity with mobile performance testing & monitoring
  • Familiarity with feature flagging tools (e.g., Flagsmith)
  • Experience with Fastlane and GitHub Actions for continuous integration
  • Background in high-growth SaaS environments

What Success Looks Like

  • You ship meaningful features quickly and consistently
  • Your code is clean, scalable, and easy to work with
  • You effectively use AI to increase output without sacrificing quality
  • You take ownership of problems and drive them to completion
  • You raise the bar for the team through execution and example


Compensation

The expected base compensation for this role is $140-170K CAD annually dependent on location with actual earnings dependent on experience, skills, and performance.This is a vacant position, and we are hiring with intention and seeking someone who will bring new perspective, contribute meaningfully to the team, and grow with the organization.

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
