About the Team/Role

As a Lead Mobile developer, you will play a supporting role across multiple applications.

You will collaborate with other internal teams to develop functional mobile applications, while working in a fast-paced environment. You will draw on your experience to help lead teams to deliver high quality applications.

Your focus will be on the front end, but you may also work on the back end to enhance our REST API using Java and Spring, as well as integrating with microservices provided by other teams.
