Mobile developer recruitment

Mobile engineers screened for platform depth, product quality and reliable integration with real devices and services.

Instruct us

Technical screening by developers and CTOs is included.

Mobile recruitment for native and cross-platform teams

We recruit mobile developers across React Native, Flutter, Swift and Kotlin. For connected products, we can also screen for Bluetooth and IoT integration experience rather than treating mobile as interface work alone.

When to hire Mobile developers: A native iOS or Android product team. A cross-platform application build. A connected-device or IoT mobile product.

Technologies, requirements and soft skills

We separate native platform knowledge, cross-platform delivery and connected-device requirements so the shortlist reflects how the application is actually built.

Cross-platform

We ask candidates to explain the bridge to native capabilities, diagnose a slow screen and decide when shared code should give way to a platform-specific implementation.

  • React Native
  • Flutter

Native

We test lifecycle, concurrency, state restoration and platform conventions with questions about background work, memory pressure and reliable release behaviour.

  • Swift
  • Kotlin

Connected applications

We ask how they handle discovery, pairing, dropped connections, permissions and inconsistent device state, including how those failures are reproduced and observed.

  • Bluetooth
  • Bluetooth integrations
  • IoT
  • RESTful APIs

Soft skills and working style

Mobile engineers need patience with device-specific failures, respect for release quality and the ability to explain platform constraints clearly to product, design and backend colleagues.

  • Product empathy
  • Patient debugging
  • Release discipline
  • Cross-platform thinking
  • Calm communication

How we screen mobile developers

The assessment covers the platform behaviour and release constraints that distinguish production mobile work from general frontend development.

Platform fundamentals

Lifecycle, performance, state, networking and native platform conventions.

Product quality

Testing, accessibility, offline behaviour and collaboration with design.

Integration reliability

API, Bluetooth or device communication, failure handling and production debugging.

What every candidate needs to demonstrate

Tool names are not enough. Across every role, we look for technical depth, disciplined use of AI and an honest approach to solving unfamiliar problems.

Understands what happens behind the scenes

We keep asking why and how until we reach the underlying behaviour. Candidates should understand what their framework, runtime, database, browser, cloud service or design tool is doing for them, how they work behind the scenes (and why), and how they would investigate a failure without relying on copying fixes from ChatGPT.

Uses AI with engineering discipline

We expect candidates to use AI productively, but never as a substitute for judgement. They need to explain how they verify generated code, designs and tests, protect confidential data, catch unsafe assumptions and remain accountable for the result. We expect them to use MCPs, skills, and goals. So basically - we are looking for structured AI-assisted work, not vibe coding, vibe designing or vibe testing.

Combines initiative with honesty

Strong candidates have a can-do mindset and will investigate, experiment and learn when the answer is not obvious. At the same time, they are fair and transparent about what they know, what they have not done before and when they need support.
