Software Development Manager – Mobile Native (iOS or Android) & Desktop Applications

Job Description

As a Software Development Manager at Q, you will lead and grow a talented team of engineers while remaining deeply involved in the development of mobile and desktop applications. Your background may lean toward either iOS or Android, but you'll take full ownership of both platforms—whether by ramping up directly or hiring exceptional engineers to complement your strengths.

This is a hands-on leadership role that spans technical execution, architectural guidance, and team development. You'll be responsible for building robust, high-performance applications that connect to hardware via Bluetooth (BT/BLE) and other IoT protocols, ensuring seamless integration and best-in-class user experiences across devices and platforms.

You'll work closely with cross-functional teams, drive product architecture, set best practices, and help shape the future of our mobile and desktop ecosystem.

• Deliver reliable, user-focused experiences across macOS, Windows, and Linux
• Drive technical excellence through architecture reviews, setting coding standards, and hands-on implementation
• Actively participate in and lead code reviews and continuous improvement efforts
• Collaborate on Bluetooth/BLE or IoT-driven interactions between hardware and application layers
