Your mission at Epassi
You will report to the Head of Engineering Italy and join the engineering team in Italy.
This is a new role created to bring dedicated mobile ownership to our B2C and B2B apps. As the senior mobile reference in the company, you will own the mobile applications end-to-end (architecture, development, build pipelines and store publication) and set the technical direction for mobile. You will work closely with backend and web engineers to make sure mobile concerns are built in from the start, not bolted on at the end. This is a hands-on role for someone who treats the apps as a product, takes release quality seriously,
and has the experience and autonomy to deliver without a dedicated mobile squad around them.
Your responsibilities will be:
- Own the mobile applications end-to-end: architecture, development, build pipelines, and publication on the App Store and Google Play for both the B2C and B2B apps
- Define and drive the mobile technical roadmap and architecture, making and documenting key decisions (state management, navigation, native modules, upgrade strategy)
- Drive cross-platform quality and parity, ensuring a consistent, high-performance experience on iOS and Android and resolving platform-specific issues proactively
- Work closely with backend engineers to design and consume APIs, representing mobile concerns (offline behaviour, latency, data efficiency) early in design discussions
- Establish and maintain testing practices (unit, integration, E2E) and own the QA process for mobile releases, reducing defect escape rate
- Own and improve CI/CD pipelines for mobile, reducing manual steps and increasing release confidence
- Share knowledge and raise the bar: set mobile best practices, run code reviews, and support web and backend engineers contributing to the apps
- Contribute to hiring and onboarding as the mobile team grows
You’ll be successful in this role if you:
- Deliver all apps on a stable, documented release cadence with no critical store incidents
- Drive a measurable improvement in app performance metrics (crash rate, ANR, load times) compared to baseline
- Build and maintain a CI/CD pipeline for mobile that is automated, reliable, and adopted by the team
- Put a real testing strategy in place that the team actually uses
- Establish mobile architecture and practices that other engineers can follow and build on
What you should bring:
- 5+ years of mobile development, including 3+ years with React Native in production and apps live on both iOS and Android
- Proven experience owning a mobile product end-to-end, with strong architectural judgment and the ability to make trade-offs under constraints
- Hands-on experience with native iOS/Android code (bridging, native modules) and with diagnosing performance, memory and crash issues using profiling and monitoring tools
- Proven ability to work cross-functionally without a dedicated mobile squad, and to influence technical decisions across teams
- Hands-on experience with app store submission processes, signing, and compliance
- Solid understanding of REST API integration and mobile-specific concerns
- Experience using AI coding tools (e.g. GitHub Copilot, Claude) as a genuine productivity multiplier: you know when to trust and when to verify
- Experience with web development (React + TypeScript) is a plus
- Experience mentoring other engineers is a plus
- An ownership mindset: you treat the apps as a product, flag risks before they become incidents, and follow through
