**Principal Mobile Engineer
**AI-Native Cloud Platform

Team: Mobile Platform Team

Reports to: Sr. Director of R&D, Cloud Platform

Location: [Gurgaon / Hybrid]

About the role

Payoneer is investing in the next generation of its mobile application: lightweight, high-performance, and designed as a platform that lets product teams contribute features independently while the app remains coherent, fast, and stable as a whole. The host application will provide the common foundations — observability, logging, navigation, identity, networking, feature flags, release tooling, automation — and product teams will plug into it through a clear contribution model.

We are hiring two Principal Mobile Engineers to define and build this foundation alongside the existing mobile team. Together you will own the tech stack decision — native iOS and Android, Flutter, React Native or a hybrid — and you will shape the platform every product team at Payoneer ships mobile features on top of. The two-Principal structure gives us the capacity to build the platform properly, and the optionality to specialize one Principal per native platform if we go that route.

What you’ll own

You will own the tech stack decision and the rationale behind it. You will run the evaluation — native (Swift / Kotlin) vs Flutter vs React Native vs hybrid — against real constraints: performance, binary size, hiring market, team contribution model, build and release velocity, long-term maintenance cost. You will make the call jointly with your peer Principal and you will be expected to defend it under scrutiny from engineering, product, and executive leadership.

You will build the host application foundation. The architecture, the module boundaries, the navigation and lifecycle model, the dependency injection approach, the state management patterns, the threading and concurrency model, the network stack, the persistence layer, the observability and logging backbone, the release and rollout machinery, the testing strategy at every level of the pyramid. Every product team’s first impression of mobile at Payoneer will be the abstractions you ship.
