Lead, Mobile App Software Engineer - Whitepages

Whitepages helps millions of people stay connected, stay protected, and make informed decisions, and our mobile apps area big part of that mission. We're looking for an Engineering Lead to own our ReactNative mobile experience end to end — setting technical direction, growing a small high-trust team, and pushing our product to feel as fast and complete as our web experience. This is a hands-on leadership role, but “hands-on” looks different here than it used to: you'll spend your time directing and reviewing the output of coding agents vs. writing code yourself, and you'll be expected to have real judgment about when to delegate to an agent, when to step in by hand, and how to keep quality high either way. You'll make architecture calls, set the technical direction the agents work within, and work shoulder-to-shoulder with product, design and marketing to help decide what we build next, not just how.

We're rethinking how mobile engineering gets done, and agentic workflows are central to that. This role owns how our team orchestrates coding agents day to day — scoping the work they're trusted with, building the guardrails (tests, review gates, CI checks) that keep their output safe to ship, and continuously tuning the workflow as the tools improve. We want a lead who treats agent management as a core engineering skill, not a side experiment — someone who can get a team of engineers and agents shipping together faster than either could alone, without sacrificing code quality or product judgment.

This role starts focused on Mobile, but it isn't meant to stay siloed there. As agentic workflows take over more of the routine implementation work, we expect engineers — especially leads — to spend less time boxed into one stack and more time flexing across our engineering orgs wherever the product needs the most judgment: Mobile today, with Web and Data work entering the mix as our roadmap and agent capabilities evolve. We're looking for someone who's energized by that direction, not just tolerant of it — someone who wants to grow into a generalist engineering leader over time rather than staying a specialist in one surface area.

What You'll Do

• Lead a small team of mobile engineers: set technical direction, review code and architecture decisions, and mentor engineers toward greater ownership and craft.
• Own the architecture of our ReactNative applications across iOS and Android, balancing shared code with platform-specific quality.
• Partner directly with Product, Design and Marketing to shape the roadmap — you'll be expected to bring product judgment to the table, not just estimate tickets.
• Build, evaluate, and roll out agentic and AI-assisted engineering workflows (coding agents, automated code review, test generation, CI triage) to raise the team's velocity and code quality.
