You'll own the delivery of features that millions of users interact with daily — from discovery and ordering to real-time tracking and payments. This is a hands-on leadership role. You won't be writing code daily, but you'll be close enough to the codebase to make informed architectural decisions, unblock your engineers, and maintain high technical standards. You'll lead a team of 6–10 mobile engineers and partner closely with product, design, and backend teams. We practice eXtreme Programming (XP) principles — including pair programming, TDD, and continuous delivery. If you haven't worked in an XP environment before, that's fine — what matters is that you believe quality enables speed and you're excited to lead in this way. ### What you'll do - Lead a team of 6–10 mobile engineers (iOS and Android) through planning, building, and shipping customer-facing features - Own mobile release quality — drive testing strategy, monitor crash rates and performance metrics, and maintain release cadence - Partner with product managers and designers to shape what gets built, balancing user impact with technical feasibility - Make architectural decisions on mobile patterns (modularisation, dependency injection, reactive patterns, navigation architecture) - Coach and develop engineers through regular 1:1s, pairing sessions, and career development conversations - Manage cross-team dependencies with backend, platform, and infrastructure teams - Contribute to mobile engineering standards and practices across talabat What success looks like: By 90 days: You understand the mobile codebase, the team's delivery rhythm, and key stakeholder relationships. You've completed 1:1s with every team member and have a clear picture of strengths and growth areas. ### By 6 months Your team is shipping incremental value consistently. You've measurably improved at least one dimension of team health — whether that's cycle time, test coverage, onboarding speed, or engineer satisfaction. ### By 12 months You've shaped the technical roadmap for your area, developed at least one engineer toward their next career milestone, and established yourself as a trusted partner to product and design leadership. ## Qualifications You must have - 6+ years of hands-on mobile engineering experience (iOS, Android, or Flutter) - 2+ years leading and managing mobile engineering teams (hiring, performance, career development) Deep understanding of mobile app architecture — you can evaluate trade-offs between native vs cross-platform, modular vs monolithic, and different state management approaches Experience shipping mobile apps at scale (100K+ DAU) with a focus on performance, reliability, and user experience - Strong automated testing mindset — you believe in CI/CD for mobile and have driven testing culture in a team Experience with mobile release management, feature flagging, and gradual rollouts Comfort working in a fast-paced, iterative environment where priorities shift based on customer data Bonus if you have: Experience with XP practices (TDD, pair/mob programming, trunk-based development) - Familiarity with Domain-Driven Design (DDD) or event-driven architecture Experience with Swift/SwiftUI and Kotlin/Jetpack Compose specifically Background in e-commerce, delivery, or marketplace mobile apps AWS or cloud platform experience Experience working across time zones or with distributed teams This role is for you if... You get energy from growing engineers, not just shipping code You care about mobile craft — smooth animations, fast launch times, accessible interfaces You're comfortable making technical calls even when the data is incomplete You want to lead at a company where mobile IS the product, not an afterthought This role is NOT for you if... You want a pure people-management role with no technical depth You prefer stable, slow-moving environments with long planning cycles You're not comfortable with pair programming or collaborative coding practices ## At a glance - Posted by the employer: Jun 12, 2026 - First seen by OpenNash: Oct 12, 2026 - Last checked: Oct 19, 2026 - Listed for: 129 days - Location: Dubai, United Arab Emirates - Employment type: Full-time[Apply on Delivery Hero’s careers site →](https://jobs.smartrecruiters.com/DeliveryHero/744000131871680-manager-engineering) ## More jobs at Delivery Hero ### [Butchery Supervisor - Distribution Center](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/delivery-hero/jobs/7b710bc01a6cb8e731ee/) Dubai, United Arab Emirates ### [Distribution Center Support](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/delivery-hero/jobs/a45c2cd58b060f98c588/) Dubai, United Arab Emirates ### [Manager Projects & Insights](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/delivery-hero/jobs/29f259cda1a864981ef6/) Dubai, United Arab Emirates ### [Manager Special Projects & Performance - MENA](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/delivery-hero/jobs/3b835d84d63800b62a5a/) Dubai, United Arab Emirates ### [Manager, Strategy and Performance](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/delivery-hero/jobs/bd2c66a2fed07a042377/) Dubai, United Arab Emirates ## Similar jobs at other companies ### [OT/IT engineering design, implementation and commissioning France France ENGINEERING / DESIGN STUDIES / METHODS ENGINEERING / DESIGN STUDIES / METHODS](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/vinci/jobs/ea1d7b9ec0eb919ddc37/) VINCI · France ### [Student Assistant in Engineering & Construction - Engineering](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/totalenergies/jobs/1b9cf984a57b4f72f96a/) TotalEnergies ### [Validation Engineering Specialist II – Equipment Engineering](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/thermo-fisher-scientific/jobs/465db9ce0488bd83f5b7/) Thermo Fisher Scientific · Mississauga, Ontario, Canada ### [Process & Manufacturing Engineering (Senior Analyst, Engineering)](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/whirlpool/jobs/ab06b2e470992a674192/) Whirlpool · Joinville, Santa Catarina, BRA ### [Master Lead Engineering Support Technician, Test Engineering](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/sandisk/jobs/75a641c855cb4d070501/) Sandisk OpenNash lists jobs from employers’ own careers sites and does not handle applications.
