Director, Mobile Engineering

Impiricus is the first and only AI-powered HCP Engagement Engine. In 2025, Deloitte named Impiricus the #1 fastest growing company in North America for their prestigious Fast 500 list. Founded by a practicing physician and a senior pharmaceutical executive, Impiricus was created to transform how life sciences companies support physicians. We ethically connect HCPs to pharma resources, reduce go-to-market costs and accelerate patient access to the treatments they need.

With our unique access to the largest opted-in network of HCPs, their insights, and clinical expertise, we are the leading provider of AI technology and real-time channels that life science companies need to deliver clear, reliable, and evidence-based resources directly into the hands of HCPs. Guided by a council of 2000+ trusted HCP advisors, we ensure every interaction is clinically meaningful, ethically grounded and leads to better patient care.

As Director, Mobile Engineering at Impiricus, you'll own the technical direction for both our mobile (iOS/Android) and backend engineering teams, and set the architecture, standards, and processes that the whole engineering group builds on. You'll lead a talented, cross-functional team of engineers, shape how our mobile apps and backend services are designed and built together, and partner closely with Product, Design, and AI to deliver innovative, high-quality solutions.

This is an opportunity to build more than an app — you'll build the organization, engineering culture, and technical foundation that will scale with our business, across the full stack. If you're passionate about developing high-performing teams, driving engineering excellence, and delivering products that make a meaningful impact on healthcare, we'd love to meet you.

• →Lead and grow a high-performing engineering organization spanning mobile (iOS/Android) and backend, responsible for delivering world-class, reliable products end-to-end.
• →Define and execute engineering strategy across mobile and backend, aligning technical initiatives with product and business objectives.
• →Own the group's overall technical architecture — including mobile-backend integration, API design, and service architecture — ensuring consistency and scalability across the stack.
• →Establish and drive adoption of engineering standards and processes (development, testing, CI/CD, observability, release management, code review).
• →Partner closely with Product, Design, and AI to deliver scalable, customer-centric experiences across mobile and backend.
• →Drive engineering excellence through architecture reviews, code quality, operational best practices, and continuous improvement across teams.
• →Build, mentor, and develop engineering managers and senior engineers across mobile and backend, fostering a culture of ownership, collaboration, and accountability.
• →Design secure, scalable APIs, backend services, and high-performance mobile solutions in an integrated way, rather than as two disconnected efforts.

• →Oversee organizational growth, hiring, and adoption of emerging technologies — including AI-powered capabilities — across mobile and backend.

• 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, spanning both mobile and backend/server-side development.
• 5+ years leading engineering teams, with experience managing engineering managers and scaling organizations across multiple technical disciplines (mobile and backend).
• Deep expertise in modern mobile development (Swift/SwiftUI and/or Kotlin/Jetpack Compose) and solid backend fundamentals — distributed systems, RESTful/GraphQL API design, databases, and service architecture.
• Demonstrated experience defining architecture and technical standards at an organizational level — not just within a single discipline — and driving their adoption across teams.
• Strong understanding of authentication, networking, offline synchronization, mobile security, and application performance, as well as backend scalability, reliability, and security practices.
• Experience establishing engineering best practices (architecture, code review, testing, CI/CD, release management, observability) that apply across an entire engineering group.
• Proven ability to influence cross-functional strategy and partner with Product, Design, and executive leadership.
• Experience recruiting, mentoring, and developing senior engineers and engineering managers across disciplines.
• Excellent communication and organizational leadership skills, balancing technical depth and business impact.

The base salary range for this role is $190,000 - $215,000.

Where you land within the range will reflect your skills, experience, and location, while keeping team parity in mind and leaving room for future growth.
