We're partnering with a rapidly growing New Zealand AgTech company that's developing AI-powered technology used by customers across New Zealand and internationally. As they continue to scale, they're looking for a Senior Mobile App Developer to take ownership of their mobile platform and help shape the future of their product.
If you enjoy solving complex engineering challenges, building high-quality mobile applications, and working on software with genuine real-world impact, this is an opportunity worth exploring.
The Opportunity You'll join a small, highly skilled engineering team building an AI-powered platform that combines mobile technology, machine learning and computer vision to solve real problems for customers working in the field.
This is much more than feature development—you'll play a key role in the technical direction of the mobile platform, collaborating closely with Product, Data Science and Engineering teams to deliver intuitive, reliable and scalable mobile experiences.
What You'll Be Doing
- Taking ownership of the mobile platform, including architecture, performance and reliability.
- Building and enhancing applications using React Native, while making informed decisions around native iOS and Android development where required.
- Designing robust offline-first functionality for users operating in low-connectivity environments.
- Optimising applications for performance, battery usage and device limitations.
- Managing the end-to-end mobile application lifecycle, from development through to App Store and Google Play releases.
- Collaborating closely with Product, Design, Data Science and Engineering teams.
- Integrating AI and Machine Learning capabilities into mobile applications.
- Driving engineering standards, best practices and continuous improvement across the mobile platform.
- 8+ years' software development experience, including at least 5 years focused on mobile applications.
- Strong commercial React Native experience.
- Experience with native iOS (Swift/Objective-C) and Android (Kotlin/Java) development.
- Deep understanding of mobile architecture, performance optimisation and scalability.
- Experience building and maintaining production mobile applications.
- Experience working with REST APIs and cloud services.
- Strong knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and mobile testing practices.
- A product mindset and passion for building exceptional user experiences.
- Experience building offline-first mobile applications.
- Experience working in low-connectivity or field-based environments.
- Experience integrating AI or Machine Learning into mobile applications.
- Experience modernising or rebuilding mobile platforms.
You'll enjoy:
- Solving complex engineering challenges with real-world impact.
- Working on products that combine mobile, AI and Computer Vision technologies.
- High levels of autonomy and technical ownership.
- A collaborative, low-bureaucracy engineering culture.
- Flexible hybrid working and a trust-based environment.
- The opportunity to build technology that's making a tangible difference for customers every day.
- Permanent opportunity.
- Hybrid working (Hamilton preferred, with flexibility for outstanding candidates).
- Opportunity to own and shape the mobile platform.
- Work alongside a highly technical engineering and AI team.
- Competitive salary based on experience.
