We are seeking a Senior Mobile Engineer to take ownership of the Mattermost mobile experience for teams working in defense, intelligence, and critical infrastructure. Our users operate in DDIL environments where connectivity may be disconnected, denied, intermittent, or limited, security is non-negotiable, and the software they depend on has to keep working.

Our mobile app is primarily React Native and TypeScript today, with native iOS and Android integrations. Your immediate focus will be making that experience more reliable and performant. Over time, you'll also help shape the next generation of our cross-platform mobile architecture.

You'll work hands-on across application and native layers, partner closely with platform and feature teams, work directly with customer-facing teams on field reports from constrained environments, and help raise the bar for how we observe, diagnose, and build mobile software.

Responsibilities

Reliability and Performance

  • Architect the app for DDIL and other constrained network environments
  • Improve data and functional reliability across connection lifecycle, synchronization, recovery, and failure scenarios
  • Own crash-free and release-health outcomes, using telemetry to proactively identify regressions and drive them through diagnosis to resolution
  • Profile and improve performance across startup, networking, storage, rendering, memory, and battery usage

Mobile Platform Ownership

  • Own critical iOS and Android integrations and the boundaries between native and cross-platform code
  • Maintain and evolve platform capabilities including push notifications, background execution, secure storage, app lifecycle, and real-time communications
  • Build within mobile distribution and device-management constraints, including App Store, enterprise and MDM deployment, AppConfig, and Intune MAM
  • Diagnose production issues from native traces, telemetry, device profiling, and sparse field logs
  • Make architecture recommendations that balance near-term delivery with the long-term direction of the mobile platform

Craft and Delivery

  • Mentor engineers on mobile architecture, reliability, performance, and platform best practices
  • Uphold security and compliance standards required by government and enterprise customers
  • Contribute to the open-source codebase
  • Use AI coding tools effectively, applying strong engineering judgment to increase output without compromising reliability or quality

What We Are Looking For

We care about what you've built and the problems you've solved — not how long you've been building. If you have strong outcomes to speak to in mobile engineering, we want to hear from you.

Required:

  • Deep expertise in iOS or Android development, with strong working knowledge of the other platform
  • Strong understanding of mobile architecture, platform SDKs, lifecycle constraints, and networking fundamentals
  • Experience building reliable mobile systems that behave predictably through unreliable connectivity, local state changes, synchronization, and recovery
  • Strong mobile performance profiling and production debugging skills on real devices
  • Experience using production data, crash metrics, and release-health signals to drive reliability improvements
  • Experience making architecture recommendations and owning technical outcomes
  • Ability and willingness to work across native and cross-platform codebases
  • AI fluency and experience using coding agents to increase engineering output while applying judgment to ensure reliable outcomes

Preferred:

  • Experience with React Native and TypeScript
  • Experience with mobile persistence, synchronization, or offline-capable systems
  • Experience with real-time communications or platform media frameworks such as WebRTC, CallKit, or Android audio APIs
  • Experience with enterprise mobile distribution, MDM, AppConfig, or Intune MAM
  • Experience building mobile software for security-sensitive, regulated, or operationally constrained environments
  • Open-source contributions

Why Mattermost

  • Mission-driven work: Your contributions directly support the organizations and missions that depend on secure, reliable collaboration including the U.S. Department of War and critical infrastructure operators worldwide
  • Remote-first culture: Work from anywhere with a globally distributed, high-trust team built for autonomy and ownership
  • AI-forward environment: We actively adopt and build AI-enabled workflows. Agentic development is core craft here, not a novelty
  • End-to-end ownership: Ship and own complex software across the full stack with real accountability for what you build
  • Open source at the core: Be part of a vibrant developer community shaping the future of secure collaboration

Compensation

Mattermost takes a market-based approach to pay. Actual compensation may vary based on location, skills, experience, qualifications, and market conditions.

Target Salary Range: $165,000 – $215,000

As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 07/31/2029

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

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. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

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.
