In your role, you will be managing mobile projects with clients whose products are implemented with a blend of Kotlin Multiplatform for Mobile and platform-native technologies.

- Facilitate the success of cross-functional teams
- Identify, communicate, and resolve obstacles to progress

- Ability to learn quickly about broad topics

What We Offer
This position has an estimated annual salary range of $95k-$130k, plus opportunities for bonuses. Actual compensation packages are based on a wide array of factors unique to each candidate, including but not limited to demonstrated skill set, and years and depth of relevant experience. The range displayed on each job posting reflects the minimum and maximum target for new hire salaries for the position across the US.
In addition to competitive fair salaries, Touchlab provides a comprehensive benefits package. Our team receives company-sponsored health, dental, vision, life & disability insurance, and the option to participate in our 401k program. We have a generous vacation policy, plus company holidays and a floating holiday (so you choose what’s important to you). We also offer the team budget for learning and development.
We’re all remote now! Everyone receives a remote work gear kit, including a company-supplied Apple machine. We get together for team events (virtual right now, obviously), regular lunches, and team socializing. It’s a big plus if your dog can make an appearance on Zoom (we don’t discriminate against cats, either).
Who We Are
We are a growing team of people with a breadth of backgrounds in different industries. Our team is great at what they do. That doesn’t mean everyone shows up with a crazy Stack Overflow score, but it does mean we’re hungry to learn and support each other in growing our knowledge and skills. We work collaboratively and believe we can help shape the future of mobile through Kotlin Multiplatform.
For the last decade, Touchlab has been at the forefront of mobile product development. Today that means helping our clients build products in a world where mobile platforms have matured. When engineering leaders need to accelerate feature development, maximize engineering efficiency, and future-proof their teams and products, they partner with us. We train and advise on mobile best practices, develop apps for all platforms, and as the recognized global experts in Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile, we have been both a JetBrains and Google-certified agency.
Because both startups and the largest public companies seek us out to help them build their mobile products, our team members get the opportunity to work on a variety of interesting projects as well as contribute to our open-source endeavors.
Through our partnerships with JetBrains and Google, and our community efforts, we are directly influencing the growth and adoption of KMP. We’ve contributed code to Kotlin/Native itself, built the most successful open-source starter kit for KMP, and released multiple KMP libraries that are being used by developers around the world. Check out our blog and JetBrains’ KMP portal to learn more.
We believe that embracing our unique diversity leads to success, and we’re working hard to build a diverse, equitable and inclusive team. Touchlab is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace for people of every gender identity and expression, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, age, veteran status, parental status, and any other identities.
