Company mission
Bubble's mission is to erase the distinction between software use and software creation.
Role
Who you are
- Ideally, a current staff/principal engineer, tech lead, engineering manager, or senior engineering manager
- At least 2 years of experience in people management or mentorship
- A deeply technical leader comfortable with a diversity of tech stacks
- Experience in React Native, iOS development, TypeScript, and full-stack web development is preferred
- Passion for mentoring and developing team talent
What the job involves
- Bubble focuses on building web applications, and our top request from users is to support native iOS and Android apps
- We have a small team working on this, and the mobile product is currently in early alpha
- We're seeking a mobile leader to guide the project from its early stages to a fully developed product
- This involves expanding our web editor to include mobile app creation, setting up infrastructure for deploying apps to the iOS and Google Play stores, and developing a React Native runtime that works with Bubble’s backend
- This is a key initiative for 2025, opening up a new market that will significantly impact our business
- We need an engineering manager who can turn this vision into reality while developing a strong team
- Bubble’s most requested feature is expanding to native iOS and Android apps
- We have a small team actively working on this, with the private alpha now underway
- We’re seeking a mobile leader to guide the team, overseeing the process from alpha through to a fully mature product
- Key responsibilities include extending the Bubble web-based editor for mobile app creation, building infrastructure for deploying apps to iOS and Google Play, and creating a React Native runtime for Bubble's existing backend
- This role is central to one of Bubble’s most critical product investments in 2024 and 2025, addressing a new market with significant business impact
- Speed and quality of delivery – Work with Product and Design for a successful launch and establish a multi-year roadmap for a robust offering
- Career development and hiring – Lead a diverse team of 5 engineers, guiding their growth and setting the team up for long-term success. You’ll be expected to hire up to 4 more great engineers to join the team soon after your start
- Cultural development – Foster an engineering culture of shared success, equity, and continuous learning
- Problem-solving – Tackle technical challenges in building an editor and runtime for mobile app development, mentoring the team to elevate their skills
- Production support – Develop standards, testing, observability, and an on-call rotation for the mobile infrastructure
- Strategic collaboration – Align the mobile team with other product teams, working closely with product managers, engineering managers, and senior engineers
- Technical innovation – Improve the speed and ease of developing native mobile applications, possibly integrating generative AI into the design process
Our take
More people than ever are interesting in starting a digital product business such as a SaaS, social network or marketplace, but getting started is tough. Creating tangible proof-of-concept products generally requires software development skills, and without experience in coding, this usually results in expensive programmer hires.
Bubble provides a no-code software development platform, allowing its users to build SaaS apps, dashboards, CRMs, marketplaces, social networks, and other web or mobile-based software applications without coding experience. The platform allows users to navigate prototyping, launch, collaborative iterative development, and unlimited scaling through simple drag-and-drop interfaces, allowing anyone to develop software without the need for programming experience.
No-code software development startups have been growing in popularity and this undeniably presents significant competition for Bubble, but its all-in-one approach to design, functionality, and management gives them a cutting edge over similar niche-focussed alternatives. The company claims that through its platform, businesses can launch and develop products at a much faster rate due to increased accessibility to software development, without the need for expensive hires and infrastructure.
