⭐ Mission
Join us as a Mobile Engineering Manager and help shape the mobile experience that empowers 600,000+ SMEs and their accountants to take full control of their finances. You will lead a team of talented iOS and/or Android engineers building high-impact accounting and bookkeeping features, under the guidance of Yanis, our Head of Engineering, and with the sponsorship of Steve, our co-founder.
👩💻🧑💻 As a Mobile Engineering Manager at Qonto, you will
- Lead a high-performing mobile team: Manage a team of 4 to 7 iOS or Android engineers embedded in a cross-functional accounting squad. Nurture their growth, remove blockers, and create the conditions for them to do their best work.
- Own your squad's success end-to-end: Work hand-in-hand with Product Managers and Designers to define strategy, shape the roadmap, and ship features that make a real difference for SMEs and accountants — from invoicing and bookkeeping to expense management and tax workflows.
- Drive engineering excellence on mobile: Set the bar for code quality, architecture, and mobile best practices across your team — from Swift/Kotlin fundamentals to CI/CD and automated testing.
- Build for scale: Hire top mobile talent, foster a collaborative and inclusive team culture, and actively break silos between iOS, Android, and backend disciplines.
- Champion your engineers: Give regular feedback, run 1:1s, facilitate growth reviews, and advocate for your team's visibility — internally and externally.
🏅 What we're looking for
- Proven engineering background: You have hands-on experience building apps — you understand the constraints, the architecture patterns, and what it takes to ship quality at scale.
- Accounting domain awareness: You've worked on accounting, bookkeeping, invoicing, or tax-related products — or you have a strong understanding of how accountants work and what they need from software. You're comfortable navigating complex domain logic and helping your team do the same.
- People-first leadership: You've managed engineers before and know how to grow people, not just ship code. You create psychological safety, value failure as a learning tool, and lead with empathy.
- Product mindset: You understand the business impact of mobile — and you don't just execute on specs. You challenge, contribute, and co-own the product direction with your PM and designer.
- Strong communication in English: You can articulate technical decisions to non-technical stakeholders and bridge the gap between mobile and backend teams naturally.
🔧 What you'll get
- A mobile team of 100+ engineers across iOS and Android, distributed in cross-functional squads — one of the largest in European fintech.
- A native stack built for quality: Swift (iOS) and Kotlin (Android), with a shared design system, clean architecture principles, and a CI built on GitLab, Bitrise, Firebase and Sonar.
- Unlimited access to the best AI tools on the market — Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Dust, Notion AI.
- A squad culture where autonomy is the default: your team owns its roadmap and ships without red tape.
- Knowledge sharing at scale: internal conferences, Tech Monthlies, and a community of engineers who genuinely want to level up together.
🤝 About your future manager
You'll report to Yanis, Head of Engineering — but don't expect micro-management.
Yanis grew from Lead Engineer to Head of Engineering over 4 years at Qonto. He's a pragmatic generalist who's built payment integrations from scratch and is equally comfortable on the frontend and backend. His approach: give people real ownership, create a culture where sharing failures is as valued as sharing wins, and get out of the way so the team can ship.
💬 Hiring Process
- 2 Interviews (1 hour each): first with your Talent Acquisition Manager, then with Yanis or one of his team leads
- A live exercise (2 hours) to explore how you think about people, product, and engineering — and give you a real taste of life at Qonto
We aim to keep the full process under 10 days, from first interview to potential offer 🤞
If you've read this far and thought "that sounds like me but I don't check every box" — apply anyway. We hire on potential and mindset, not checklists.
