Staff Mobile Engineer

Role Description

Now we're looking for a Staff Mobile Engineer to serve as a technical leader and contributor for our mobile code that powers our connected sleep ecosystem. You'll be a leader on engineering development for our mobile apps, specifically the iOS and Android apps that keep millions of devices humming in real homes.

You’re a great fit if you thrive in environments of rapid learning and delivery. You’re self-motivated and have demonstrated strong ownership and self-direction. You strive to understand the business of what we are trying to accomplish and push engineering solutions to provide customer value. As a small company where AI-assisted development is core to how we work, we expect this role to ramp up quickly, use AI fluently in their day-to-day, and deliver broadly across our mobile systems.

Working across Mobile, and partnering closely with Product, you'll lead feature development, set technical direction, and mentor engineers.

What You'll Do

• First 90 Days: Learn & Contribute
  • Review existing codebase and identify immediate technical improvements.
  • Ship meaningful code to production and begin to establish credibility with the engineering team.
• First 6 Months: Drive Real Impact
  • Technical Leadership: Lead delivery of features, and jump into production issues or improvements, debug cross-platform problems spanning mobile/firmware/backend.
  • Cross-Pillar Ramp: Build context on how the full mobile platform fits together. Contribute meaningfully to your team’s initiatives — shipping features, improving platform reliability, and driving daily app engagement.
  • Architectural Ownership: Understand problem spaces, partner with stakeholders to shape architectural problems and solutions, and bring proposals to Mobile Strategy and Engineering Forum meetings.
  • Engineer Mentorship: Provide feedback and support for other engineers.
  • Cross-functional Collaboration: Work closely with Product, Design, QA, and other stakeholders to scope, plan, and rapidly ship features.
  • AI Integration: Champion AI-assisted development practices within your team — not just using the tools yourself, but creating the conditions where others adopt them faster and go deeper.
• First Year: Transform & Scale
  • Strategic Impact: Drive business strategy through mobile initiatives and shape the roadmap across the mobile organization — contributing to decisions that benefit all pillars and the people who use Hatch every night.
  • Raise the AI Bar: Serve as a critical evaluator and implementor of our AI strategy. Help define what "good" looks like so that as new engineers join, there's a standard to onboard into, not just an assumption.

Qualifications

• Deep Mobile Craft: You’ve spent 6+ years building mobile apps that matter—whether in Swift/SwiftUI or Kotlin/Jetpack Compose. You care about code quality, reliability, and making great experiences for real people.
• Technical Leadership: You love leading by example—writing production code, unblocking others, leading architectural decision-making, and helping teams make smart, pragmatic decisions. You’re as comfortable setting direction as you are rolling up your sleeves.
• Mentorship: You believe great teams make great products. You’ve mentored other engineers, built trust, and created environments where people do their best work.
• Collaborative Energy: You thrive in cross-functional spaces—partnering with Product, Design, and other engineering leaders to turn ideas into reality. You communicate clearly and lead with empathy.
• AI Curiosity: You’re genuinely excited about what AI unlocks—how it can make us more effective builders and open new ways to serve our customers.
• Broad Technical Reach: You bring experience with modern mobile tooling, CI/CD, testing, and cloud services—and you’re always eager to explore new technologies, tech stacks, and approaches.

Benefits

• 100% paid medical, dental, and vision insurance for employees (80% for dependents, including domestic partners).
• Meaningful equity — you’re an owner here.
• 401(k) match (no vesting schedule!).
• 16 weeks of fully paid parental leave.
• 16 free therapy sessions (for you + one other adult in your life).
• Financial support for family planning.
• Remote office + monthly internet reimbursement.
• Friends & family discounts on Hatch products.
• Exclusive discounts on travel, entertainment, and top retail brands.
• And so many more spontaneous perks!
