Innovapptive is recognized as a Leader in Frost & Sullivan's Frost Radar 2025 - Augmented Connected Worker Platforms, with acknowledgments from Gartner and LNS Research, and is backed by Vista Equity Partners and Tiger Global Management.

Why This Role Exists :

- Innovapptive has 22 mobile engineers (26% of the engineering org) across two platforms : 10 native iOS/Android developers on legacy products (mWorkOrder, mInventory, mRounds) and 12 React Native developers on iMaintenance the next-generation platform.

- The React Native codebase has 8 separate branches of the SAME app merge conflicts, duplicated components, no shared library, release chaos. Native apps are different apps (no consolidation needed) but on a sunset track as customers migrate to iMaintenance.

- This is a player-coach role. You own BOTH tracks : driving the RN trunk unification and managing the native sunset.

What You Own :

- Unified Mobile Platform : 22 engineers across native iOS/Android and React Native.

- RN track : consolidate 8 branches into a single trunk with CODEOWNERS per module. Feature flags for product isolation.

- Native track : manage sunset as customers migrate. Retrain native devs to RN or plan attrition.

- Mobile release management : single release train, crash-free >99.5%, p95 latency <300ms.

- Sprint allocation : products consume mobile capacity via sprint planning, not branch ownership.

- People : hiring, performance classification, coaching, exits for 22 engineers.

You Must Have :

- 8+ years mobile engineering with 3+ years managing mobile teams (10+ people).

- Deep React Native expertise. Production RN apps at enterprise scale.

- Native iOS (Swift) AND Android (Kotlin/Java) experience needed for sunset track.

- Track record of platform consolidation : merging codebases into a single trunk.

- Mobile CI/CD, automated testing, crash monitoring (Sentry/Firebase).

- Feature flags, sprint-based capacity allocation, shared component library architecture.

- Comfort with observability : Sentry crash-free dashboards, Mixpanel analytics, release health monitoring.

Nice to Have :

- SAP-integrated mobile applications or offline-first field operations apps.

- Sunsetting legacy mobile apps while maintaining production stability.

- AI-driven mobile features or agentic workflows.

- Industrial/enterprise mobile apps (energy, manufacturing, utilities).

You Will Be Measured On :

- RN trunk unification : 8 branches ? 1 trunk by end of Q2.

- Crash-free >99.5% (iOS and Android). p95 latency <300ms.

- On-time delivery ?90%. Zero escaped Sev-1 within 7 days of release.

- Review participation : 100% MRs reviewed before merge. Zero self-merges.

- Native sunset plan : 3+ developers retrained or transitioned per quarter.

Tech Stack & Tools :

- Mobile : React Native (primary), Swift (iOS), Kotlin/Java (Android)

- Backend : Node.js / TypeScript, MongoDB, RabbitMQ

- Infrastructure : AWS, Docker, GitLab CI/CD

- Observability : Sentry, Mixpanel, Realm (offline sync)

- Tools : GitLab, Jira, TestRail, SonarQube

Compensation & Growth :

- Reports to CTO initially; transitions to VP PE&A after Q2. Path to Sr. EM or Director within 1824 months.

What We Offer :

- Competitive compensation and equity tied to measurable impact on AI accuracy and performance.

- A platform to shape the semantic intelligence layer of a category-defining industrial SaaS company.

- Access to cutting-edge AI, data, and observability toolchains for continuous learning and innovation.

- Innovapptive does not accept and will not review unsolicited resumes from search firms.
