Senior Mobile AI Engineer (iOS/Android Focus)
Are you excited about building intelligent, high-performance mobile apps that bring real-world AI experiences to users in the field?
We're looking for a Senior Mobile AI Engineer to help shape the next generation of mobile applications — combining native development, cross-platform architecture, and AI integration.
About the Role
In this role, you'll design and develop AI-powered mobile experiences that provide real-time assistance, automated data capture, and predictive insights.
You'll work across iOS, Android, and Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) environments, embedding advanced AI features into user-friendly applications that perform flawlessly — even in challenging offline conditions.
This position blends deep mobile engineering expertise with hands-on experience integrating large language models (LLMs) and on-device AI.
What You'll Do
* Integrate AI capabilities and LLMs (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini) into native mobile apps for real-time reasoning and assistance.
* Implement on-device AI using Core ML (iOS) and TensorFlow Lite (Android) to ensure reliable offline performance.
* Lead the migration to Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP), building shared codebases that maintain platform-specific UI quality in SwiftUI and Jetpack Compose.
* Design intelligent mobile workflows such as voice-to-text, image recognition, and predictive automation.
* Optimize app performance for field conditions — ensuring low latency, efficient caching, and minimal resource usage.
* Build intuitive, responsive UIs that deliver smooth, high-quality interactions across devices.
* Collaborate closely with AI, backend, and product engineers to deliver measurable outcomes for end users.
* Participate in agile rituals, share best practices, and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives.
What You Bring
* 4–6 years of experience in mobile development (iOS and/or Android).
* Proven track record of shipping high-quality apps with outstanding user experience.
* Solid knowledge of Kotlin, Swift, and platform SDKs (Android Studio, Xcode).
* Experience or strong interest in Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) for shared codebase development.
* Hands-on experience integrating AI/ML features or APIs into mobile applications.
* Understanding of Core ML, TensorFlow Lite, and mobile AI orchestration frameworks (LangChain, custom pipelines).
* Strong foundation in MVVM, MVI, or Clean Architecture, dependency injection (Hilt/Dagger, Koin), and reactive programming (Combine, Kotlin Flow, RxSwift).
* Experience building offline-first architectures with intelligent synchronization and caching.
* Strong problem-solving mindset and the ability to design for complex, real-world use cases.
Nice to Have
* Experience with computer vision (OCR, object detection) or AR (ARKit, ARCore).
* Background in field-service, construction, or InsurTech applications.
* Familiarity with geospatial data, mapping, or 360° camera integrations.
* Contributions to open-source mobile or AI projects.
* Understanding of accessibility and inclusive mobile design standards.
Why Join
* Build AI-native mobile apps that are used daily by professionals in the field.
* Lead and shape a cutting-edge Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) migration.
* Work with the latest mobile and AI technologies — from Core ML and TensorFlow Lite to LangChain and modern LLM APIs.
* Collaborate in cross-functional squads focused on measurable user outcomes.
* Be part of an environment that values innovation, autonomy, and continuous learning.
