[Remote] Senior Mobile Engineer

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Tern is a venture-backed software company on a mission to reshape the travel agency industry. They are seeking a Senior Mobile Engineer to own the mobile app development process, ensuring that travel advisors have the tools they need at their fingertips to manage their bookings and communications effectively.

Responsibilities

• Own the advisor mobile app end to end including the native shell, hybrid surfaces, embedded web views, and the Rails APIs behind them
• Get a usable app into advisors' hands as soon as possible by shipping working pieces every single week along the way
• Build and extend the Rails APIs the app depends on, rather than waiting for someone else to spec them
• Iterate on the foundations the team will live with by developing the build and release pipeline, app store process, crash reporting, and on-call for mobile
• Establish the hybrid and web-view patterns that two advisor pairs and a new designer can build on
• Watch your app in production and catch issues before advisors do

Skills

• Shipped mobile ownership: You've personally shipped a mobile app to the App Store and/or Play Store and kept it healthy after launch. You have real stories about what broke in production and how you fixed it for good
• Full-stack range: You're comfortable writing the backend and the screen. You've built or extended the APIs your app consumed, and 'blocked on my endpoint' isn't a phrase you reach for
• Pragmatic about the toolkit: You've worked across native and hybrid, and you make a clear-eyed call on when an embedded web view is the right answer. You optimize for what ships and holds up, not for purity
• High agency: You've taken ambiguous, under-specified problems and driven them to a working outcome without someone managing the steps
• AI in your daily workflow: Specific examples of where AI made your work faster or better, with the judgment to question its output rather than ship it wholesale
• Comfortable in Ruby on Rails or a comparable MVC backend
• Experience standing up a mobile app and its release process from zero
• Background at a smaller company or startup where you owned a product surface end to end
• Built consumer or pro-tool apps where reliability and polish mattered

Benefits

• Offers Equity
• Competitive salary, equity, and benefits package
