About the role and team:

Our mobile teams work simultaneously to bring similar but distinct experiences to our clients using Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP). As a Lead Mobile Engineer, you'll play a key role in shaping how our teams adopt and grow KMP across projects, setting technical direction and raising the bar for engineering excellence.

As we continue we're always looking to find and adopt the best tools for the job - whether that's making our CI better with automated code scanning and UI testing or developing reusable libraries that we can share across projects.

We conduct unit testing across all our projects, code is always peer reviewed, and we encourage these reviews to happen "over the shoulder" (or on a call more recently) to make it a better environment for team members to learn from each other. As a team we meet regularly to discuss new approaches and challenges, whether that's within our project teams or in the wider mobile community.

What you'll be doing:

Leading the design and delivery of high-quality mobile apps with Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP), using shared business logic across iOS, Android and other platforms

Setting technical direction and driving architectural decisions for KMP adoption across projects

Writing clean, maintainable, and well-tested code using Kotlin and modern mobile development practices, while mentoring engineers through coaching, pairing and code review

Architecting and integrating shared KMP modules and contributing to shared KMP codebases

Creating intuitive, responsive user interfaces using modern platform-native frameworks

Working closely with designers, product owners, testers, and clients in a collaborative, agile environment, and helping shape client conversations on technical approach

Championing engineering excellence and best practices across KMP and native mobile development, and helping grow capability across the wider mobile community

We'd love to talk to you if you:

Have deep, hands-on experience with Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) and a strong understanding of how to architect and integrate shared codebases across platforms

Have strong experience in native Android or iOS development and are confident leading technical decisions using modern mobile frameworks and tools

iOS experience alongside KMP is preferred but not essential - we're equally interested in strong Android engineers with KMP experience

Are comfortable working with Kotlin and integrating shared KMP modules within native applications

Have a track record of mentoring engineers and leading technical direction within a team

Care deeply about code quality, testing, and clean architecture principles

Thrive in cross-functional teams and enjoy collaborating with others and clients to build great products

Are excited about the potential of KMP and passionate about pushing mobile development forward

What we’ll offer you:

We trust people to do their best work. That means flexibility over rigid rules, impact over activity, and real investment in your growth both professionally and personally. You’ll be part of a supportive, and friendly culture, surrounded by smart, curious people who care deeply about what they do.

We offer flexible working, including hybrid and remote options. Our office hubs are located in Edinburgh, Leeds, Manchester, London and Bulgaria, with occasional travel to client sites or CreateFuture offices when needed.

We trust you to manage your time balancing collaboration with client time and focused work. What matters is the impact you have, not how busy you look.
