Barden is delighted to be partnering with the CTO of a global technology company to support the creation of a new and innovative team to help transform their organisation towards more software-centric subscription-based service offerings.
We are supporting them on a key hire within this newly created team – a Principal Engineer in Mobile Development, someone who excels in delving into technical intricacies and is equally enthused about exploring higher-level creative possibilities.
“The Principal Mobile Engineer will work closely with the newly appointed ‘Mobile Engineering Director’ to develop a comprehensive architectural plan for the company’s mobile applications, establishing patterns and standards for both hybrid and native app development. You’ll also play a key role in helping to embed this new Technology Roadmap into the fabric of our organization. You’ll be an influencer and a collaborative individual who loves to challenge the ‘status quo’ and is passionate about the modern approach to the application of Cloud-based Mobile Tech!” – VP of Engineering, Apps & Cloud
This opportunity is perfect for someone who brings a wealth of experience at the Principal level and has a strong track record of technical leadership, hands-on expertise, and a demonstrated capacity to handle significant responsibilities. If you are already well-prepared to excel in such a role, rather than looking to make the transition into a Principal position, then this opportunity could be an ideal fit for you. The company will recognize and value this type of expertise in a meaningful way.
