What the job involves
- At Studocu, our mobile apps are a critical part of how millions of students discover, share, and study with course materials every day
- As our platform grows, mobile has become a central hub for product innovation, discovery, and monetization
- We are looking for an Engineering Manager who will take ownership of the entire mobile platform - ensuring it remains fast, scalable, reliable, and easy for product teams to build on
- In this role, you’ll lead the team responsible for our iOS and Android applications, shaping both the technical direction and the way mobile development happens across the company
- You’ll work closely with product, design, operations, and other engineering teams to deliver high-impact features while continuously improving the stability, performance, and developer experience of the mobile platform
- As our Engineering Manager, you’ll manage and mentor a cross-functional team while staying close to the technology, helping identify technical gaps, fixing broken processes, and ensuring that mobile remains one of the fastest and most effective ways we ship value to students
- Own and evolve the entire mobile platform (iOS & Android), ensuring scalability, reliability, and performance across millions of users
- Lead and support a cross-functional mobile team (frontend and backend engineers), driving technical direction, delivery, and team development
- Collaborate closely with Product & Design to plan, prioritise, and deliver new mobile features and improvements
- Improve mobile CI/CD pipelines, testing strategies, release processes, and distribution workflows
- Enable other product teams to contribute safely and efficiently to the mobile platform without creating bottlenecks
- Drive improvements in mobile app performance, stability, and accessibility across a wide range of devices
- Strengthen bug tracking, debugging, and issue resolution workflows to ensure a high-quality user experience
- Identify and resolve technical debt, broken processes, and platform gaps that slow down development
- Partner with internal teams (AI teams, operations, marketing, and other engineering groups) to support new product initiatives on mobile
- Help the team maintain its high delivery speed while improving planning, predictability, and product stability
Our take
High quality notes and resources are necessary at every level of education, but at times personal notes can be incomplete or missing details. The founders of Studocu have created a platform that allows students to share notes, resources and study materials, that now holds materials from universities across the world.
With millions of users every month accessing the platform, there is undeniable demand for Studocu's services. Much of the company's popularity may be ascribed to its freemium model, which keeps 85% of its content free to access. The other 15% can be accessed by students who either upload their own study materials or pay a fee.
Studocu has seen impressive investment which has enabled it to expand substantially. It also acquired Studybees, its German counterpart, to support this expansion. In 2024, Erasmus University Rotterdam filed a lawsuit against the company which will be interesting to follow, as it surrounds whether Studocu should have to proactively screen materials for copyright breaches, rather than its current report/takedown approach.
