## About the role

Attain's consumer mobile apps are the front door of our data ecosystem: they deliver real value to consumers, and the permissioned data they generate powers everything our enterprise platform does. Each app has a different audience with its own acquisition and monetization approach, all running on a shared backend platform.

## What they're looking for

- 10+ years of software engineering experience, with several years building consumer-facing mobile products
- Founder, CTO, VP Engineering, or founding-engineer experience at a consumer startup, or equivalent demonstrated ownership of a consumer product's technical outcomes
- Track record taking a consumer app from zero to meaningful scale (users, load, or revenue)
- Deep backend expertise (APIs, data pipelines, cloud infrastructure) plus production React Native or comparable cross-platform mobile experience
- Experience managing small engineering teams directly (line management, this is not a manager-of-managers role)
- Comfortable presenting to and working with executive stakeholders
