A well-established, globally prestigious organisation is looking for a Mobile App Tech Lead to own the technical direction of its React Native application across iOS and Android, with the platform potentially extending to WeChat in future.

- Leading technical discovery and feasibility work alongside Product Owners, BAs and designers
- Mentoring engineers and running code reviews
- Defining the mobile testing strategy and test automation approach
