Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of professional mobile development experience, with deep experience in iOS, Android, or both
- Strong native mobile expertise in Swift/iOS and/or Kotlin/Android, including app lifecycle, background execution, permissions, performance, and platform-specific constraints
- Experience working in, or a strong willingness to ramp into, a Flutter-based mobile codebase. We value deep native iOS and/or Android expertise, and Flutter experience is a plus rather than a hard requirement
- Experience building or maintaining production-grade mobile infrastructure at scale
- Experience working in cross-platform mobile environments, such as Flutter, React Native, Kotlin Multiplatform, shared native modules, or similar architectures
- Strong understanding of mobile architecture, release processes, CI/CD, testing, observability, and reliability best practices
- Experience improving app performance, crash rates, release quality, or developer velocity through platform-level investments
- Comfort working across product, backend, design, and AI engineering teams in a fast-moving environment
- Ownership mindset and strong bias for action — you’ve owned meaningful parts of a mobile stack and driven ambiguous infrastructure work to completion
- Nice to Haves
- Experience with audio/video streaming, real-time media pipelines, audio chunking, transcription, or background recording
- Experience with offline-first systems, sync engines, conflict handling, or resilient local persistence
- Experience with mobile observability tools such as Firebase Crashlytics, Sentry, Datadog, Amplitude, or similar
- Experience with Fastlane, Firebase App Distribution, TestFlight, Play Console automation, build optimization, or release automation
- Experience with AI-native product experiences, real-time transcription, multimodal workflows, or agentic user experiences
- Exposure to healthcare, HIPAA, SOC 2, security, encryption, privacy, or regulated mobile environments
- Flutter/Dart experience, including Riverpod or similar state management patterns
- Experience with Shorebird, CodePush, or other mobile over-the-air update platforms
- Light JavaScript, TypeScript, Chrome extension, or web app experience
- Why Join
What the job involves
- We’re building a next-generation ambient AI platform for healthcare, helping clinicians focus on patient care by automatically capturing, understanding, and structuring clinical conversations in real time
- Mobile is at the center of this experience
- Our apps power long-form audio recording, real-time streaming, offline reliability, background sync, and AI-assisted clinical workflows in environments where reliability is mission-critical
- This is not a CRUD app; we’re building new interaction patterns for AI-native healthcare software, including real-time transcription, multimodal clinical workflows, agentic actions, and offline-first care delivery
- We’re hiring a Senior / Staff-level Mobile Infrastructure Engineer to help own and evolve the foundation of our mobile platform across iOS, Android, and cross-platform surfaces
- You’ll work deeply on mobile architecture, performance, reliability, developer experience, CI/CD, observability, and native integrations — while also contributing to product-facing experiences when platform work intersects with clinician workflows
- This is a highly leveraged role for someone with strong iOS and/or Android depth, cross-platform experience, and platform instincts
- Today, our mobile application is primarily built in Flutter, with native Swift/iOS and Kotlin/Android integrations where platform-specific capabilities are required
- This role is ideal for someone who brings deep native mobile expertise and is excited to apply that judgment within a cross-platform codebase
- Flutter experience is helpful, but not required
- Own and evolve our primarily Flutter-based mobile platform, including native Swift/iOS and Kotlin/Android integrations for audio capture, background execution, offline reliability, performance, and observability. Core areas include:
- Real-time audio capture, streaming, chunked uploads, and long-form clinical recording
- Offline-first data handling, local persistence, background sync, and recovery flows
- App performance across startup time, responsiveness, memory, battery usage, and background execution
- Mobile observability, crash reporting, error handling, logging, and regression detection
- Release infrastructure, CI/CD automation, build systems, signing, and App Store / Play Store workflows
- Build and improve foundational mobile frameworks used across our apps, such as:
- Audio recording and processing abstractions
- Caching and persistence layers
- State management patterns
- Navigation and component systems
- Networking, retry, and sync primitives
- Mobile observability and diagnostics tooling
- Strengthen mobile reliability by systemically reducing crashes, improving release readiness, and preventing regressions before they reach clinicians
- Partner with product, backend, AI, and design teams to understand emerging infrastructure needs and unblock fast, reliable product development
- Help shape the technical direction for mobile architecture as we scale the Ambient AI product line
- Contribute occasionally to adjacent surfaces such as our Chrome extension and web app, primarily where mobile, audio, AI workflow, or platform infrastructure needs intersect
- Mentor other engineers and help raise the technical bar across mobile. There is an opportunity to grow into broader mobile technical leadership or people leadership over time, but management is not required for this role
Our take
Today, healthcare providers are tackling the growing challenge of too much paperwork and too little time for patients. Many existing electronic health record (EHR) systems only add to the problem - digital, yes, but often too clunky, time-consuming, and disconnected from the tools doctors actually need. Athelas is tackling this by reimagining how healthcare software works, helping providers spend less time lcicking and more time caring for people.
Athelas offers a full suite of tools that combine AI-powered automation, remote patient monitoring (RPM), and integrated EHR and billing systems. And its newest platform, Athelas AIR, is a next-generation EHR designed to unify clinical and administrative workflows in one intelligent system. By embedding revenue cycle management (RCM) and ambient AI documentation directly into the platform, Athelas AIR streamlines everything from charting to billing. And the goal is simple, to reduce administrative burden, improve margins, and ultimately, give healthcare teams a smoother, smarter way to work.
The company has made significant strides in recent years. After reaching unicorn status in 2022 and merging with Commure in 2023, Athelas is now valued at around $6B and continues to expand its platform. Alongside growing adoption of Athelas AIR, the company has recently secured FDA clearance for its Athelas Home device - an AI-powered diagnostic tool that delivers lab-grade blood test results from a fingerstick in minutes. This allows care teams to test, diagnose, and make decisions in a single visit. With a growing customer base and a broader push into AI-driven diagnostics as well as software, Athelas is ready to be a leader in end-to-end, intelligent healthcare infrastructure.
