About This Role
About this role
We're looking for a Mobile Engineering Manager to lead one of our mobile engineering teams building the talabat consumer experience on iOS and Android.
You'll own the delivery of features that millions of users interact with daily from discovery and ordering to real-time tracking and payments.
This is a hands-on leadership role.
You won't be writing code daily, but you'll be close enough to the codebase to make informed architectural decisions, unblock your engineers, and maintain high technical standards.
You'll lead a team of 6 10 mobile engineers and partner closely with product, design, and backend teams.
We practice eXtreme Programming (XP) principles including pair programming, TDD, and continuous delivery.
If you haven't worked in an XP environment before, that's fine what matters is that you believe quality enables speed and you're excited to lead in this way.
What you'll do
- Lead a team of 6 10 mobile engineers (iOS and Android) through planning, building, and shipping customer-facing features
- Own mobile release quality drive testing strategy, monitor crash rates and performance metrics, and maintain release cadence
- Partner with product managers and designers to shape what gets built, balancing user impact with technical feasibility
- Make architectural decisions on mobile patterns (modularisation, dependency injection, reactive patterns, navigation architecture)
- Coach and develop engineers through regular 1:1s, pairing sessions, and career development conversations
- Manage cross-team dependencies with backend, platform, and infrastructure teams
- Contribute to mobile engineering standards and practices across talabat
- What success looks like:
- By 90 days :
- You understand the mobile codebase, the team's delivery rhythm, and key stakeholder relationships.
- You've completed 1:1s with every team member and have a clear picture of strengths and growth areas.
- By 6 months :
- Your team is shipping incremental value consistently.
- You've measurably improved at least one dimension of team health whether that's cycle time, test coverage, onboarding speed, or engineer satisfaction.
- By 12 months :
- You've shaped the technical roadmap for your area, developed at least one engineer toward their next career milestone, and established yourself as a trusted partner to product and design leadership.
