About Size Stream

Size Stream is a technology company specializing in advanced 3D body scanning for apparel and health & fitness applications, including a widely used in-store scanning solution. The team is multi-disciplinary and innovative, applying state-of-the-art and increasingly AI-forward approaches to industry-leading body measurement software.

Role Overview

The Mobile Application Team Lead is a hands‑on “player/coach” responsible for leading the team that builds and maintains Size Stream’s globally deployed iOS and Android applications. The role blends 50–60% hands‑on coding with leadership, architecture, and process ownership, while staying aware of evolving legal, privacy, and technical requirements for industry-scale mobile applications. The Team Lead collaborates closely with other engineering teams and business stakeholders to deliver secure, robust, and compliant mobile experiences.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead, mentor, and manage a team of iOS and Android developers (employees and contractors) delivering new features and improvements.
• Design and implement robust, efficient, and maintainable app features in Swift, Objective-C, and Kotlin/Java.
• Manage setup, configuration, and operation of third‑party mobile integrations such as RevenueCat, AppsFlyer, Firebase, and similar services.
• Oversee and continuously improve the mobile build and release pipeline for Apple App Store and Google Play.
• Maintain and evolve Size Stream’s mobile scanning SDK offering, including documentation, versioning, and lifecycle management.
• Provide technical support for client developers integrating with Size Stream SDKs and APIs.
• Support integration with back‑end APIs in close collaboration with cloud platform and eStore teams.
• Provide QA with requirements and context for test cases; review and assess the quality of QA testing and test coverage.
• Assist operations with troubleshooting production issues, diagnosing mobile‑related incidents, and supporting customer‑facing teams.
• Contribute to and help evolve Agile processes, CI/CD practices, and automation, with an eye toward AI‑forward tooling where appropriate.
• Communicate complex technical topics clearly to non‑technical stakeholders, including business unit leaders and product managers.
• Primarily remote with an expectation of being able to work onsite in Cary, NC for key meetings or collaboration events as needed (for example, a few times per quarter rather than strictly 2 days per week).

Required Qualifications

• US Citizenship is mandatory.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Applied Math, Imaging Science, Physics, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
• Demonstrated experience developing, shipping, and supporting production iOS and Android apps, including code review and store deployment.
• Strong coding skills in Swift and Objective‑C, with hands‑on experience in Android development (Kotlin or Java).
• Experience working with and extending existing/legacy mobile codebases; strong familiarity with git and branching workflows.
• Proven ability to collaborate with QA on debugging, feature validation, and requirements traceability.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain technical concepts to non‑technical audiences.
• Strong sense of ownership, self‑direction, and comfort working with distributed/remote teams in a fast‑evolving environment.

Nice‑to‑Have Skills

• Experience with React Native, browser‑based scanning, or other hybrid/mobile web frameworks.
• Knowledge of computer vision and on‑device ML (e.g., CoreML) or AI‑forward features in mobile applications.
• AWS platform development experience, including Python, Lambda, DynamoDB, and related services.
• Familiarity with automated mobile build and testing frameworks (e.g., Fastlane, Gradle pipelines, XCTest/ UI testing, or similar tooling).
• Experience with Agile methodologies, startup or product launch environments, and cross‑platform development across Windows and Unix‑based systems.
• Experience using AI‑assisted development tools (for example, code generation, automated refactoring, or intelligent test creation) as part of the software delivery workflow.

Benefits & Perks

• Three weeks paid vacation annually plus 13 company‑paid holidays.
• Comprehensive healthcare plan and education benefits.
• Opportunity to work on a globally deployed, industry‑leading mobile product with a team focused on innovation and practical AI‑forward enhancements.
