Role Overview

We are seeking a highly experienced Mobile Architect to lead the architecture, design, and technical direction of our Android and iOS mobile applications in the tire industry. The Mobile Architect will define best practices, ensure platform scalability, and oversee the evolution of mobile solutions that support tire selection, ordering, inventory visibility, service workflows, and connected mobility experiences.

This role requires deep expertise in mobile app architecture, integration patterns, performance optimization, security, and cross-platform scalability.

Key Responsibilities

Architecture & Technical Leadership

• Define the end-to-end architecture for Android and iOS mobile applications, including native, hybrid, or cross-platform approaches as appropriate.

• Establish architectural standards, frameworks, and reusable components aligned with industry best practices.

• Ensure mobile solutions are scalable, performant, resilient, and secure.

Industry-Specific Mobile Solutions

• Architect mobile experiences for tire industry use cases:

  • Tire search (size, pattern, category, vehicle-based lookup)

  • Dealer B2B ordering platforms

  • Inventory and warehouse visibility

  • Seasonal high-load workflows (e.g., winter tire demand spikes)

• Integrate mobile apps with ERP, OMS, CRM, and supply chain systems commonly used in the tire sector.

Technical Strategy & Roadmap

• Define mobile technology roadmap covering OS updates, device fragmentation, API evolution, and performance optimization.

• Provide guidance on microservices, API design, caching, offline-first workflows, and push notification strategy.

Collaboration & Leadership

• Work closely with product managers, UX designers, backend engineers, DevOps, and QA teams.

• Lead technical design reviews, code reviews, and solution walkthroughs.

• Mentor engineering teams and enforce mobile development best practices.

Integration & Backend Coordination

• Collaborate with backend/API teams to define efficient, secure, and scalable API contracts.

• Evaluate and implement mobile backend solutions (MBaaS, GraphQL layers, caching, etc.).

Performance, Security & Quality

• Define standards for app performance, battery usage, network usage, and load handling.

• Oversee implementation of mobile security best practices (OWASP MAS, secure storage, certificate pinning, encryption).

• Ensure accessibility, usability, and WCAG 2.1 AA compliance where applicable.

• Promote CI/CD automation, unit testing, UI testing, and monitoring.
