Software Engineer, Mobile

What you’ll do

• Build the field experience GovWell staff actually want to use — fast, reliable, and built for real conditions, not a scaled-down version of the web product.
• Make sure the work doesn't stop just because the signal does. Field staff should never lose progress or have to re-do something because they lost connectivity.
• Put permitting and licensing directly in residents' hands — simple enough that checking a permit status or submitting an application feels as easy as anything else on their phone.
• Help define what native mobile craft looks like at GovWell — this is a young product, and the standard you set now is the standard the product grows into.
• Shape what's next as mobile matures: new workflows, new capabilities, and how the staff and citizen experiences evolve relative to each other.

Who you are

• Real experience shipping production mobile apps on iOS and/or Android.
• Comfortable owning ambiguous, early-stage decisions on a product that's growing quickly.
• You think about speed and friction obsessively — tap counts, load times, and the assumption your user might be standing outside, one-handed, in a hurry.
• Product instincts: you can help decide what to build next and why, not just execute a fully-specified ticket.
• You align closely with our Core Values.
