About the role

  • You are the technical decision-maker for the app's architecture:
  • Together, we're making our products feel smarter every day they're in the home.

Responsibilities

  • Own the mobile app architecture that new products are built on - feature architecture, device experiences, pairing and provisioning flows, and consumer-facing behavior from first launch through steady state.
  • Make the architecture and technology decisions for the mobile app, and remain deeply hands-on building in React Native, Expo, and TypeScript.
  • Own how new products enter the app through our capability-based device definitions - declaring what a product is and what it can do, so screens compose from capabilities rather than per-product special cases.
  • Serve as the mobile technical authority for onboarding and supporting new products, working with embedded, cloud, hardware, and product partners to define how a new device behaves in the app and to drive the tradeoffs that surface during development.
  • Define the reusable components, patterns, and libraries needed to deliver these experiences, and decide what gets built, refactored, or replaced - extending our layered component library and semantic theming system rather than accumulating one-off UI.
  • Establish, document, and own engineering patterns and best practices for the mobile app in coordination with the App Architect, and drive their adoption across teams so products are built consistently.
  • Own quality end to end: test and automation strategy, crash and performance targets, staged rollout, and the field issues that come back from real homes.
  • Lead the hardest technical problems personally - BLE and WiFi connectivity reliability, versioned device protocols, real-time state over WebSocket, and the bugs that only reproduce on real hardware.
  • Lead technical research and proof-of-concept validation, running pre-research and building prototypes to de-risk major architectural decisions before committing to full-scale production.
  • Mentor mid-level and senior engineers through design review, code review, and pairing, and grow their ability to own features independently.

Nice to have

  • Experience with binary protocol work: parsing and versioning device payloads, and evolving a protocol without breaking already-shipped firmware.
  • Substantial experience with connected devices, IoT ecosystems, or device-to-app connectivity in production.
  • Hands-on experience with BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) and WiFi provisioning, including the failure modes that only appear in real homes.
  • Experience with Rust, C/C++, or other systems programming languages, and comfort working alongside firmware teams.
  • Background in robotics, consumer electronics, or smart home products.
  • Experience launching a new hardware product's app experience from zero to shipped.
  • What Success Looks Like
  • New products are onboarded to the app on schedule, with app experiences that hold up in real consumers' homes.

Compensation

  • $190,000 - $210,000 USD
  • The annual salary range for this position is displayed below.
  • Factors which may affect starting pay within this range may include geography/market, skills, education, experience and other qualifications of the successful candidate.
