Meet the team!
Our Engineering team is responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining the systems and technologies that drive Unifonic's solutions. We work closely with other departments to ensure our products and services meet the needs of our customers. If you are passionate about technology and are excited about working on cutting-edge communication and engagement solutions, we want you on our team.
As a Mobile Platform Engineer, you'll own our SDK platform end to end-treating it like a product that developers rely on every day. You'll shape the foundations that make our mobile experiences reliable, extensible, and easy to integrate.
Your week will span the full platform lifecycle: roughly a third of your time will go into the shells, packaging, and add-ons that bring the SDK to life; about a fifth will focus on the core SDK and the contracts that keep it stable and predictable. The rest will take you across customer troubleshooting, release engineering, documentation, and exploring new platform capabilities.
Help us shape the future of communication by
- Designing the public API of the SDK on your primary platform and keep it idiomatic: async and AsyncSequence on iOS, suspend and Flow on Android, Promises and even…

What you'll bring
