Mark43’s mission is to empower communities and their governments with new technologies that improve the safety and quality of life for all. We build powerful, scalable, and elegant software that sets a new standard for the tools upon which our first responders rely. Our users are diverse, and we are committed to embracing diversity of thought and experience within our team.

We're looking for a Lead iOS Engineer to define the future of mobile engineering at Mark43. You'll lead the technical direction of our iOS platform, mentor engineers, and partner closely with Android teammates to evolve our cross-platform strategy using Swift and Kotlin. As we continue investing in Kotlin Multiplatform, you'll help determine where shared code accelerates development while ensuring our iOS applications deliver a best-in-class native experience.

As a technical leader, you'll own major architectural decisions, drive engineering best practices, and help deliver mission-critical software that first responders rely on every day. This is an opportunity to shape not only the products we build, but also the future of mobile development at Mark43. This role will be based in Boston, MA and operates on a 3 day hybrid schedule.

• Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively across Engineering, Product, and Design.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) and/or Compose Multiplatform (CMP).

• Experience helping define or implement a shared mobile platform strategy across iOS and Android.

• Familiarity with modern Android development practices.

• Experience building software for highly regulated or mission-critical environments.

People who thrive on our team also tend to share the following characteristics:
