About Airwallex
Airwallex is the AI-native financial operating system for a real-time, intelligent economy. More than 675,000 businesses, including McLaren Racing, Qantas, SHEIN, and TikTok, use us, directly or through our platform partners, to run their financial operations or build and monetize financial products of their own.
We started in Melbourne in 2015 to build the infrastructure global commerce runs on. We're the regulated backbone behind global payments: not by accident, but by design. A decade plus, 85+ licenses, and a financial infrastructure spanning North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific.
We're co-headquartered in San Francisco and Singapore, with more than 2,300 people across 27 offices. We hire builders with founder-level energy, people who move fast with good judgment, dig in with real curiosity, and make calls from first principles rather than waiting to be told what to do. Read our operating principles to see it in full.
About the team
Our Mobile Team is responsible for the end-to-end development of both our iOS and Android apps, leveraging the latest technologies to build a seamless user experience. On iOS, we work with SwiftUI, Combine, and Async/Await, while on Android we use AndroidX, Coroutines, Hilt, and a suite of Jetpack libraries.
You’ll be joining Airwallex at a pivotal moment as we expand the capabilities of our modern, fully native mobile apps. These apps empower customers to manage global B2B payments, submit and approve expenses, and control both virtual and physical Airwallex cards—including seamless Apple Pay and Google Pay integration for card transactions.
What you’ll do
As a Mobile Engineer, you’ll focus on building high-quality, user-friendly native mobile applications using modern frameworks and best practices. You’ll work closely with product managers, designers, and other engineers to deliver features that are reliable, intuitive, and performant.
The hybrid role is based in San Francisco.
Responsibilities:
- Take ownership of the design, implementation, and delivery of key features across our iOS and Android apps, ensuring they are intuitive, performant, and reliable.
- Collaborate closely with fellow engineers to define architecture, share best practices, and drive high-quality standards across platforms.
- Influence how we scale and evolve our mobile apps—built less than three years ago—by shaping core architecture and contributing to long-term technical direction.
- Go beyond feature development: contribute to team processes, product decisions, and broader engineering strategy as we scale globally.
- Be a hands-on technical leader who takes pride in clean, testable code and actively supports continuous improvement across the mobile stack.
Who you are
We’re looking for people who meet the minimum qualifications for this role. The preferred qualifications are great to have, but are not mandatory.
Minimum qualifications:
- 6+ years of experience developing native mobile applications on iOS or Android, using modern frameworks and development practices
- Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
- Proven experience shipping one or more production apps, ideally available in the App Store or Google Play
- Strong focus on code quality—writes testable code with high test coverage
- Experience maintaining CI/CD pipelines (e.g. GitHub Actions, Bitrise)
Preferred qualifications:
- Experience with modern Android or iOS development tools and libraries, such as AndroidX, Jetpack, SwiftUI, Combine, Hilt, or Coroutines
