Head of Mobile Engineering – Social Mobile Apps Dailymotion

We're building THE next big social app in a startup-minded squad within Dailymotion, and we need a technical leader to take us to the next level.

You'll be leading a team of 3 Android engineers, 3 iOS engineers, working closely with 3 Python backend developers, QA, Design, and Product to create an experience used by millions of users.

This is not a pure management role. We're looking for someone who is still deeply connected to the craft, able to code, review architecture, and technically challenge the team every day. Think 60% leadership, 40% hands-on. If you've thrived in high-growth startups or scale-ups, shipped consumer apps to millions of users, and you still get excited by a clean architecture or a well-optimized render pipeline, this role was written for you.

Your Mission

• Own the delivery of the product vision from technical strategy to day-to-day execution
• Make key technical decisions, balancing innovation, velocity, and tech debt in a high-growth environment
• Lead, mentor, and grow your mobile engineering team, fostering extreme ownership and cross-functional collaboration
• Stay hands-on: review code, challenge architectural choices, and set the technical bar alongside the team
• Establish clear performance objectives and provide guidance to ensure alignment with business and product goals
• Continuously improve how we build: workflows, tooling, processes, and engineering culture
• Drive AI integration opportunities to enhance user experience and product innovation
• Scale the team as the product grows, building a world-class mobile engineering organization

Don't check every box? Apply anyway.

We're looking for the right person to join the team, not just a perfect resume. If this role excites you but your experience doesn't align perfectly with every requirement, we still want to hear from you.

Dailymotion is an equal opportunity employer. We value inclusion and want you to help us build a more diverse community. All positions are open to people with disabilities, and we encourage everyone to apply. Need accommodations during the hiring process? Just let us know in advance.
