Full job description

Verve is hiring a Manager or Senior Manager for Mobile/SDK Engineering to lead and expand its new European engineering hub in Dublin. The role involves full people-management and strategic delivery ownership of the global Mobile SDK chapter with teams in Dublin, Hamburg, and Bangalore. Responsibilities include building the Dublin team, managing distributed engineering squads, refining agile workflows, ensuring code quality, partnering with product management on roadmap alignment, maintaining cross-location technical synchronization, overseeing platform transformations, and fostering innovation with generative AI tools. Requirements include strong architectural knowledge of mobile SDKs, experience with continuous delivery (GitHub Actions) and cloud infrastructure (GCP), domain knowledge in programmatic ad tech or mobile monetization, and experience managing engineering teams. Benefits include training budgets, language classes, paid vacation and wellness days, work & travel opportunities, and a competitive Dublin salary package.

What you'll do

  • Drive interview loops and aggressively build out the new Dublin Mobile/SDK pod from scratch
  • Lead strategic headcount planning, run predictive sourcing pipelines, and forecast talent growth models (Senior level)
  • Supervise, manage, and mentor engineers across global distributed Mobile SDK engineering chapter (Dublin, Bangalore, Hamburg)
  • Nurture high-performance floor culture and run career progression pathways for engineers
  • Define team charters, manage cross-location sprint capacity allocation, resolve resource conflicts, and build organizational resilience (Senior level)
  • Evaluate and refine agile workflows, release cycles, and code-review safety loops
  • Ensure operational standards around release runbooks and automated validation gates
  • Standardize organization-wide engineering delivery methodologies and establish code quality governance (Senior level)
  • Partner with Product Management and engineering heads to align platform roadmap with commercial goals
  • Collaborate with Director and VP-level stakeholders for multi-quarter resource estimations and technical feasibility assessments (Senior level)
  • Maintain technical synchronization across multi-site engineering footprints to prevent feature or logic drift
  • Provide leadership governance for major platform transformations including Android Privacy Sandbox integration and Swift Package Manager packaging shift
  • Foster development ecosystem leveraging generative AI tools to optimize unit test coverage, debugging, and reduce administrative overhead

Requirements

  • Strong conceptual and architectural understanding of standalone library and mobile SDK compilation and distribution constraints (memory footprints, thread-safety primitives, process lifecycles, and silent exception routing).
  • Proven experience working alongside continuous delivery models (GitHub Actions) and cloud infrastructure architectures (GCP).
  • Direct domain exposure to programmatic ad tech, mediation adapter structures, or high-volume mobile monetization models is a major asset.
  • Collaborative openness to navigate both Android and iOS code environments to ensure organizational synchronization.
  • 6+ years of total professional mobile software engineering experience (Manager level).
  • 1–2+ years of formal people-management, tech-lead-manager, or team-lead experience explicitly supervising engineering pods (Manager level).
  • Demonstrated ability to take complex feature requests and turn them into predictable, high-quality technical executions alongside your team (Manager level).
  • 8+ years of total professional mobile software engineering experience (Senior Manager level).
  • 3+ years of dedicated, formal people-management experience explicitly focused on building and scaling mobile engineering teams (Senior Manager level).
  • Proven track record of managing or heavily collaborating across distributed, cross-border engineering teams (Senior Manager level).
  • Execution autonomy and professional maturity to manage abstract engineering charters and scale out a critical strategic site location independently (Senior Manager level).
