Manager/SR Manager, Mobile/SDK Engineering

Verve has created a more efficient and privacy-focused way to buy and monetize advertising. Verve is an ecosystem of demand and supply technologies fusing data, media, and technology together to deliver results and growth to both advertisers and publishers. You will provide the organizational leadership, team-building vision, and operational drive to establish and expand our new European engineering hub in Dublin. In this role, you will take full people-management and strategic delivery ownership over our global Mobile SDK chapter—which includes established engineering pods across Hamburg and Bangalore—while aggressively hiring to build and expand your local footprint in Dublin.

Responsibilities

Hub Expansion & Talent Acquisition: Drive interview loops, establish rigorous local bars for talent, and aggressively build out the new Dublin Mobile/SDK pod from scratch; Leadership & Distributed Team Management: Supervise, manage, and mentor engineers across our global, distributed Mobile SDK engineering chapter (Dublin, Bangalore, and Hamburg); Process Refinement & Operational Discipline: Evaluate and refine the chapter’s day-to-day agile workflows, release cycles, and code-review safety loops; Strategic Product & Roadmap Partnership: Partner closely with Product Management and functional engineering heads to align the platform roadmap with core commercial goals; Cross-Location Parity & Delivery Governance: Maintain technical synchronization across our multi-site engineering footprints, preventing feature or logic drift between Android (.AAR libraries) and iOS (.xcframework targets) pipelines; Ecosystem Modernization & Architecture Oversight: Provide leadership governance for major platform transformations including Google Android Privacy Sandbox and Swift Package Manager (SPM); Cultivate Innovation & AI Standards: Foster a development ecosystem that uses generative AI tools (Copilot, LLMs) to optimize unit test coverage, accelerate debugging, and minimize administrative overhead

Requirements

Strong conceptual and architectural understanding of standalone library and mobile SDK compilation and distribution constraints (memory footprints, thread-safety primitives, process lifecycles, and silent exception routing); Proven experience working alongside continuous delivery models (GitHub Actions) and cloud infrastructure architectures (GCP); A collaborative openness to navigate both Android and iOS code environments to ensure organizational synchronization; Manager Level: 6+ years of total professional mobile software engineering experience; 1–2+ years of formal people-management, tech-lead-manager, or team-lead experience explicitly supervising engineering pods; Demonstrated ability to take complex feature requests and turn them into predictable, high-quality technical executions alongside your team; Senior Manager Level: 8+ years of total professional mobile software engineering experience; 3+ years of dedicated, formal people-management experience explicitly focused on building and scaling mobile engineering teams; Proven track record of managing or heavily collaborating across distributed, cross-border engineering teams (such as coordinating work streams across EU and APAC sites); The execution autonomy and professional maturity to manage abstract engineering charters and scale out a critical strategic site location independently

Nice to have

Direct domain exposure to programmatic ad tech; mediation adapter structures; high-volume mobile monetization models
