Technical Leader – Mobile Application Projects

Mô tả công việc

About the Role

Media MICE is a forward-thinking agency specializing in healthcare communications, with deep domain expertise in ophthalmology, medtech, and digital transformation. As we expand our portfolio of websites and digital product projects — both for external clients and internal initiatives — we are seeking a highly capable, solution-oriented Technical Leader to own and oversee our digital technology architecture and technical operations.

This is a pivotal senior technical role, designed for an experienced engineer or web/app architect who can lead technical decision-making, manage and audit vendor delivery, receive and validate production-grade handovers, and ensure the long-term maintainability of our platforms. The role also requires acting as a solo Senior Full-Stack Developer during the initial build phase of key projects, while progressively defining frameworks and onboarding internal or external developers. You will help build the technological backbone of our digital strategy, while mitigating development risks from external vendors and ensuring the success of complex, multi-region, and regulated web and mobile projects.

 Key Responsibilities

Technical Strategy & Solution Architecture

• Define and evolve the technology stack and system architecture for corporate and client-facing websites and mobile/web applications.
• Lead the selection of scalable, secure, and maintainable CMS/website/mobile platforms, hosting environments, frontend/backend frameworks, mobile app frameworks, and DevOps pipelines.
• Act as both Technical Leader and Senior Developer during the early phases of the project, taking hands-on responsibility for coding and prototyping key features when internal engineering resources are not yet in place. Lay the foundation for code structure, development standards, and reusable components to ensure long-term maintainability and scalability.
• Work closely with the Project Manager, Product Owner, and External Website Vendor to translate business objectives, product vision, and regulatory constraints (e.g., FDA, GDPR, ASX) into technically sound, compliant, and scalable implementation strategies. Take ownership in formulating detailed technical plans, providing accurate estimations, and ensuring timely delivery aligned with project milestones and stakeholder expectations.
• Ensure designs accommodate modularity, multi-region support, offline capabilities (for mobile), performance, and SEO-readiness.

Mobile Application Strategy & Oversight

• Recommend and guide architectural decisions for future mobile apps (native or cross-platform) related to internal tools or client solutions.
• Evaluate feasibility and performance trade-offs between native development (Swift, Kotlin) vs. cross-platform (Flutter, React Native, etc.).
• Collaborate on app feature planning: push notifications, offline content access, geolocation, API connectivity, performance.
• Define code structure and reusable module guidelines to support long-term scalability and maintainability.
• Work with vendors or developers to oversee app build, testing, store submission, and maintenance post-launch.

Project Technical Oversight

• Provide hands-on technical oversight of external vendors and contractors during project execution (web and mobile).
• Audit vendor deliverables for code quality, performance, scalability, security, and maintainability.
• Review and validate architecture, codebase, documentation, and deployment workflows.
• Track and resolve technical risks across all phases of development and post-launch optimization.

Handover & Maintenance Ownership

• Receive full ownership of website and app systems from vendors post-development.
• Manage source code repositories, credentials, build systems, app certificates, and deployment pipelines.
• Ensure a clean, complete technical handover — including CI/CD setup, rollback plans, monitoring tools, and update guides.
• Be responsible for post-launch maintenance of both websites and mobile apps — including bug fixing, updates, OS compatibility checks, and app store re-submissions.

Internal Platform Development

• Lead continued development and support of Media MICE’s internal platforms, including internal tools, content hubs, and mobile utilities.
• Drive the architectural direction of these platforms with integration, reusability, and scalability in mind.
• Identify reusable UI/UX or API components between mobile and web platforms.

Vendor & RFP Technical Support

• Provide technical input during vendor selection and RFP drafting.
• Define mobile-specific criteria in RFPs: platform choice, deployment strategy (App Store, Google Play), performance KPIs, analytics integration.
• Support vendor interviews and platform architecture evaluations.

Infrastructure, Security & DevOps

• Set up or validate CI/CD workflows for web and mobile (e.g., GitHub Actions, Bitrise, Fastlane).
• Ensure modern security practices, compliance (GDPR, HIPAA, FDA), uptime, and monitoring.
• Oversee hosting, SSL, CDN, mobile crash reporting tools, and analytics (Firebase, Sentry, etc.).
