Desirable

• You’ll get to work on the tools, infrastructure, and apps that scale these platforms to onboard one billion participants and 5 million developers. You’ll be constantly exposed to new concepts, ideas, and frameworks from your peers, and as you work on different projects — challenging you to stay at the top of your game
• You’ll join a network of builders that reaches the edge of our ecosystem. Consensys alumni have moved on to become tech entrepreneurs, CEOs, and team leads at tech companies
• MetaMask’s Wallet Platform organization owns the client platforms for the MetaMask browser extension and mobile apps
• The Mobile Platform team treats MetaMask Mobile as a platform: we enable all feature teams to ship high‑quality experiences faster by providing a secure, stable, high‑performance foundation with excellent developer experience and automated operations
• MetaMask Mobile (iOS & Android) is built primarily on React Native, with native code where it matters. As a Principal Mobile Engineer, you’ll be the most senior hands‑on technical leader focused on mobile: setting architecture, defining standards, and driving cross‑team initiatives that shape the future of our mobile platform and MetaMask app
• You’ll work closely with engineers across MetaMask, not just within Mobile Platform, to ensure our mobile apps performance and stability scale with our users, features, and the broader Web3 ecosystem
• Own mobile platform architecture
• Define and evolve the architecture of MetaMask Mobile (React Native + native), leaning into performance by tightly integrating with backend services and optimizing app–backend interactions holistically rather than in isolation
• Make key tradeoffs between JS/TS, RN, and native to balance performance, reliability, and iteration speed
• Design and steward core platform systems (e.g., OTA, analytics foundations, data/persistence, auth, VPN/geolocation primitives)
• Lead design and architecture reviews for critical platform areas
• Lead high‑impact, cross‑team initiatives
• Drive large upgrades and migrations (React Native, navigation, foundational libraries)
• Lead structural performance and stability work: startup time, crash rate, ANRs, jank, memory usage, bundle size
• Break large efforts into incremental, shippable milestones with clear impact
• Elevate developer experience & automation
• Improve tooling, local dev ergonomics, build/test pipelines, and release workflows for all mobile engineers
• Establish clear patterns for navigation, state management, and platform primitives to reduce cognitive load
• Push towards “push‑button” releases and reduced operational toil via automation
• Own and continuously improve the mobile SDLC and lifecycle, including CI, testing, and release workflows
• Build an AI‑enabled platform
• Integrate AI/LLMs into workflows to scaffold code, enforce patterns, and improve testing and feedback loops
• Help define how tickets and platform patterns leverage AI safely and effectively
• Drive app health & performance culture
• Define and evolve metrics and dashboards for performance, stability, and efficiency
• Provide tools and guidance so feature teams can self‑diagnose and own regressions
• Champion shared accountability for app health across all teams contributing to mobile
• Multiply impact through leadership
• Mentor Senior/Staff engineers and influence technical direction across Wallet Platform and MetaMask
• Help shape hiring and technical culture for a lean, senior, high‑leverage Mobile Platform team
