What this job asks for AI summary
A hands-on engineering lead role responsible for the architecture and technical direction of a React Native mobile application on iOS and Android, while also building and managing agentic/AI-assisted coding workflows for the team. The position involves close collaboration with product, design, and marketing on roadmap decisions, and is expected to expand beyond mobile into web and data work over time. Best suited to an experienced mobile engineer with a background in leading small teams and practical experience integrating AI coding tools into real engineering workflows.

Why we read it this way (9)
The title is 'Engineering Lead' with no explicit seniority level word, so the title states no level. The role requires 5 years of engineering experience including 3 years leading/mentoring, which supports a Senior band; the scope (leading a small team, setting technical direction) is consistent with a senior engineering lead rather than a Staff or Principal role.
This role sits between 11-3021 (Computer and Information Systems Managers) and 15-1252 (Software Developers). The posting explicitly calls it a 'hands-on leadership role' with direct reports, mentoring, and team direction — but also emphasizes architecture ownership and agentic/coding workflow hands-on work. 11-3021 is the primary classification given the people-management and team-direction framing; 15-1252 is the close runner-up.
The role is open to residents of WA, ID, CO, WI, FL, or MD. Seattle is the HQ and the most prominent location; remote-first with a hybrid model for Seattle employees and fully remote for other states. Marked remote=true to reflect the multi-state remote eligibility.
JavaScript and TypeScript are listed together as a 5-year requirement ('JavaScript or TypeScript'). Both are emitted as required with each listed as an alternative for the other, reflecting that the JD treats them as interchangeable for the years gate.
AI coding tools experience (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, custom agent pipelines) is explicitly required in the Requirements section. The named tools are captured as alternatives since the JD treats them as examples of the broader requirement.
React (web) is listed in the requirements as part of 'a strong combination of React web and native/hybrid mobile development' — an alternative path to the React Native years requirement. It is captured as preferred since it is a secondary/alternative path rather than a standalone gate.
Nice-to-have skills include Swift/Kotlin native development, UI automation frameworks, mobile CI/CD release engineering, customer data platforms (CDPs), and backend/data engineering exposure — all marked preferred per the 'Nice to Have' heading.
Compensation is $175,000–$250,000 base salary plus quarterly and annual bonus; salary varies by state (WA, ID, CO, WI, FL, or MD). Bonus is not quantified in the posting.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): UI automation.
