  • Partner directly with Affan on engineering strategy and with Oisin on product direction where mobile intersects with growth, onboarding, and retention

  • Drive native-feel polish: smooth animations, responsive interactions, platform-specific conventions (iOS/Android)

  • Work in a PLG/A/B testing environment — ship features, instrument, measure impact, iterate fast

  • Own app store presence and release cadence — versioning, store optimization, crash/performance monitoring

  • Potentially help grow a dedicated mobile team as the app becomes a bigger part of the business
