📋 Description

• Own mobile development tooling. • Architecture and roadmap for simulator and emulator setup, device orchestration, and CLI tools across iOS and Android. • Lead the test automation framework. • Design and evolve the mobile test automation framework for synthetic and integration testing across platforms, scoping problems across teams and delivering projects that span multiple consuming teams. • Set the CI/CD quality gating strategy. • Protect Canva's longer-term mobile goals by getting ahead of issues before they land in production. • Drive alignment across Native Infra, Cross Platform, and DevX to bring fragmented mobile workflows into one cohesive system. • Define and publish mobile testing best practices and methodologies across Canva. • Create company-wide triage workflows and monitoring for mobile development and testing. • Mentor and grow the team.

🎯 Requirements

• Deep expertise in at least one mobile platform iOS (Swift) or Android (Kotlin) with working knowledge of the other and genuine experience with cross-platform approaches. • Hands-on experience with React Native or a comparable cross-platform mobile framework, used in a production environment at meaningful scale. • Experience building or significantly shaping a mobile test automation framework — synthetic, integration, or E2E — with evidence that other teams adopted what you built. • Background in defining quality gating strategy or improving CI/CD pipelines. • Track record of scoping and delivering complex, cross-team technical projects. • Skilled at driving technical direction with teams you don't manage. • Your technical docs and practices have become the reference others build on. • You can hold the 12-month horizon and the current sprint at the same time. • Device Farm Experience: Hands-on with BrowserStack, Firebase Test Lab, or similar cloud device testing platforms. • Bazel Familiarity: Experience working within a Bazel-based monorepo CI/CD environment, particularly at scale. • Platform Transition Experience: You've helped a team migrate from one mobile paradigm to another — WebView to native, or web-first to cross-platform — and lived through the tooling challenges that come with it. • Background in internal advocacy or technical communication across engineering organisations.
