What are the responsibilities and job description for the Full Stack Engineer, Mobile position at Shift Robotics?
We are looking for a versatile, forward-thinking Mobile & Full-Stack Engineer who loves bridging the gap between hardware, mobile platforms, and cloud infrastructure. You aren’t just a mobile developer; you understand the entire app lifecycle, from DevOps pipelines to backend services.
We value strong engineering fundamentals in native technologies (Kotlin and Swift), but we are highly progressive—we embrace modern workflows, actively encourage the leverage of AI tools to speed up development, and are open-minded toward cross-platform ideas.
If you love deep-diving into Bluetooth/BLE protocols one day, deploying cloud functions the next, and utilizing cutting-edge AI to automate the boring stuff, we want to talk to you.
Responsibilities- Cross-Platform & Native Development: Design, build, and maintain high-performance applications for both iOS and Android, ensuring a seamless user experience.
- Hardware Interfacing: Work deeply with Bluetooth/BLE technologies on mobile apps to interact securely and reliably with embedded devices.
- Full-Stack & DevOps Ownership: Integrate and manage backends using Cloud (e.g. GCP, AWS...etc.) services. Own the app-related lifecycle, including CI/CD pipelines and deployment automated testing.
- End-to-End Security: Implement robust security features, including user authentication, backend service authorization, and encrypted Over-The-Air (OTA) firmware upgrades.
- AI-Driven Efficiency: Actively leverage AI development tools (e.g., Cursor, LLMs) to accelerate prototyping, code generation, debugging, and documentation.
- API Crafting: Develop and optimize APIs to support robust mobile functionality.
- Collaborate & Innovate: Partner with hardware teams and UI/UX designers to bring products from concept to the hands of users.
- Experience: 3 years of professional mobile app development experience with a strong portfolio of shipped apps in the App Store and Google Play.
- Language Mastery: Strong, foundational knowledge of Swift and Kotlin (Native Android/iOS development).
- IoT/Wireless Tech: Proven experience working with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) APIs and hardware-to-mobile communication.
- Cloud & Infrastructure: Hands-on experience with Cloud (e.g. GCP, AWS...etc.) (or similar cloud ecosystems) for backend services.
- Lifecycle & DevOps: Familiarity with the mobile deployment lifecycle, including App Store Connect, Google Play Console, and CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, Fastlane, Gitlab Runner...etc).
- AI Tooling: Comfort and efficiency using AI-assisted coding tools to maximize output.
- Core CS Fundamentals: Strong grasp of RESTful APIs, OOP design principles, application security, and clean architecture.
- Bonus (Nice-to-have): Experience with, or a strong interest in, Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) or other cross-platform strategies.
- Opportunities for participation in our Employee Options programs
- 401K retirement plan
- Excellent medical, dental, and vision insurance
