Key Responsibilities
• Own the overall technology strategy, architecture, and roadmap of 18Pixels.
• Lead the development and maintenance of Backend, Android & iOS mobile applications.
• Build scalable, secure, high-performance mobile applications from architecture to deployment.
• Take complete ownership of mobile app development, APIs, backend integrations, databases, and third-party services.
• Lead technical decisions related to technology stack, architecture, cloud infrastructure, security, and scalability.
• Manage and mentor developers and build a high-performing technology team.
• Review code, establish coding standards, conduct technical reviews, and ensure quality.
• Work closely with the Founder/Product team to convert business requirements into scalable technology solutions.
• Manage App Store and Google Play Store deployments, releases, updates, and production issues.
• Monitor application performance, crashes, security vulnerabilities, and infrastructure.
• Evaluate new technologies, AI tools, APIs, and frameworks that can improve product development and business efficiency.
• Establish development processes including Git, CI/CD, testing, documentation, code review, and deployment practices.
• Take ownership of technology budgets, vendors, infrastructure, and external technology partners where required.
Technical Skills Required
Must Have:
• Strong experience in React, Node, Flutter / React Native or native Android/iOS development.

The ideal candidate should be comfortable working hands-on with the codebase while simultaneously taking ownership of the company's complete technology direction.
Candidate Profile
• 5+ years of software/mobile development experience.
