Job Description

About Your Role:

Dotdash Meredith is looking for a highly-skilled Engineering Lead with demonstrated technical excellence and leadership capability to support and grow our new brand-focused mobile application. You will work in a collaborative Agile environment, managing and guiding the team that builds and releases this new app, and helping ensure its success and position as a cornerstone of the company’s growth.

As an engineering lead and SME on the team, you will help set technical best practices, provide guidance to less-experienced developers, and ensure that the application provides the best possible UX and  experience to our users. You will partner with Product Management as well as other team leads within the department to achieve our overall business goals, as well as contributing directly to the app codebase.

In-office Expectations: This position offers remote work flexibility; however, if you reside within a commutable distance to one of our offices in New York, Des Moines, Birmingham, Los Angeles, Chicago, or Seattle, the expectation is to work from the office three times per month. The teams are located across the country, with leadership centered in NYC and Chicago, so experience leading distributed teams across multiple time zones is highly desirable.

About Your Contributions:

  • Define and realize the technical vision for our mobile application, in alignment with our overall app development strategy, across iOS and Android platforms,

  • Work closely with backend engineers to ensure optimal integration between frontend UI and backend APIs.

  • Monitor app performance using analytics tools and continuously optimize performance based on user feedback and usage data to improve the overall user experience.

  • Work closely with product managers, designers, content creators, and other teams to integrate product vision and feedback, enhance app features, and drive user engagement.

  • Lead and mentor your team of developers.

About You:

You have solid knowledge of and experience with modern mobile app development methods, and recent hands-on experience applying that knowledge. You have managed or mentored developers before, and are looking to continue that growth.

  • Proven experience (5+ years) in designing, developing, and maintaining production-ready mobile applications, with at least 1 year of that time including management experience.

  • Excellent leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to inspire and motivate team members.

  • Strong technical background with expertise in mobile application technologies, especially

    • React Native and similar (e.g., Flutter): Expertise building high-performance, cross-platform mobile applications with a JavaScript/TypeScript core and native platform-specific UI components, including predictable state management patterns using Redux or similar alternatives.

    • Native App development: Familiarity with building and managing both Swift (iOS) and Kotlin (Android) true-native applications.

    • Firebase and similar mobile application technologies: Experience with Firebase services, including Firestore for scalable NoSQL data storage, Crashlytics for monitoring and resolving app crashes, and Firebase Push Notifications for real-time user engagement and messaging.

    • Code signing and release management: Familiarity with managing the end-to-end app release process, including code signing, provisioning profiles, and certificates for both iOS and Android platforms, and CI/CD pipelines. Proficient in ensuring secure and compliant app distribution through App Store, Google Play, or enterprise channels.

    • Testing & Quality Assurance: familiar and comfortable collaborating with QA teams to identify and address bugs and performance issues.

  • Familiarity with RESTful APIs and integration of APIs into mobile applications.

  • Demonstrated ability to interpret technical strategy and deliver high-quality products under tight deadlines.

  • Experience with Agile/Scrum methodologies and project management tools (e.g., Jira).

I've been using this job search site for a while now, and it’s honestly one of the best out there! The clean and easy-to-navigate UI makes the whole job-hunting process so much smoother. Plus, the job postings are always up-to-date, so I never feel like I’m wasting time. The cherry on top is the owner—super kind and always quick to respond.

As a student navigating the job market, I've found LinkedIn increasingly frustrating due to numerous fake postings by consultancies. In contrast, this job posting website has been a game-changer for me. It offers genuine opportunities and a straightforward application process, making it much easier to find and apply for real jobs. Highly recommend it to fellow students seeking reliable job listings!

Echo Jobs has been exceptional in my job hunt where it provides one platform to job hunt and I don't have to open 10 websites just to look for a job. It has also helped me focus much on the job skill and the location filtering out the onsite jobs and remote ones. The only feature that I would request is to display fully remote jobs that are not restricted to a country since the one available shows ie, Remote, US yet. But if it could show remote only, that would be helpful not only to me but to other people applying for full remote and not tied to only US candidates

I found EchoJobs in 2022, and I love it. It has a lot of remote jobs. It's exclusive to software and technology jobs (helpful for devs like me). What I like the most are its filters and its API. If you're a tech professional seeking remote work, I highly recommend giving it a try to EchoJobs.

Simply put, it's the most up to date tech jobs aggregator I’ve found. I'm like... "I don't have to check 10+ jobs boards daily just to see if there's a new job listing? sign me up!" The filters are also quite helpful! The UI is very clean and straightforward. Love it!
