Company mission
To prevent, manage and treat chronic disease through behaviour and lifestyle change.
Role
Who you are
- You are technically credible. Engineers respect your judgment. You can read a pull request, challenge an architecture decision, and hold a real conversation about tradeoffs, without needing to be the best coder in the room
- You think in outcomes, not outputs. You push past 'how do we build this' to 'should we build this, and what does success look like.' You are a genuine peer to the Product Manager, not just a delivery counterpart
- You own urgency. Incidents, blockers, and operational friction stop with you. You do not escalate avoidable problems upward
- You have managed an engineering team before, with direct people leadership, not just tech lead responsibility
- You give direct feedback and receive it well. You help people grow without letting performance issues fester
- You are comfortable working remotely across time zones with a distributed team
- You have led a mobile engineering team: iOS, Android, React Native, Flutter, or similar. You know the specific challenges: release cycles, device fragmentation, app store constraints
- You speak English fluently
What the job involves
- The Engineering Manager for Mobile leads the team that builds the Liva app used by coaches and participants every day. This is not a process coordinator role
- It is a hands-on leadership position that sits at the intersection of engineering, product, and delivery
- You will manage the team: 1:1s, career conversations, performance, hiring. You will own delivery: sprint rhythm, roadmap execution, unblocking engineers
- You will own operational urgency: incidents do not get escalated past you
- You will be the person who models a different way of thinking about the work: from output to outcome, from feature factory to product team
- This role is the cultural unlock for the Mobile team. The shift from internal platform to commercial SaaS starts here
- Built or grown a team from scratch: hired engineers, shaped culture, not just inherited a team
- You have worked in health, wellness, or B2B SaaS before
- You are interested in AI-assisted development and already use it in your workflow
- You have thought seriously about team topologies, platform thinking, or engineering org design
- A team that cares about the product, about the mission, and about each other. We take both the work and the culture seriously
- Real ownership from day one. You will run your team, own your domain, and make consequential decisions without needing sign-off on everything
- Reporting directly to CPTO. (he works closely with both EMs as a genuine thought partner and sounding board, not a bottleneck)
- A product with genuine impact. The people using Liva are trying to improve their health. What the team ships matters in a way that is easy to connect to
- Fully remote working
