Staff Software Engineer - Mobile Applications (Remote)

Position Purpose:

This Mobile team is responsible for rewriting the Home Depot mobile app from the ground up, and we need a technical leader to help drive it. This team owns the customer shopping experience end to end: native app, BFF layer, and the SDUI systems that power it. We are deprecating WebViews in favor of full native implementations, and we are actively rethinking how software gets built, using AI to remove toil from engineering work and ship more customer value, faster. The Staff Software Engineer is the technical anchor for the team, partnering with the Engineering Manager, Product Manager, and Principal Engineer to set architecture direction across application modularization, component interactions, API contracts, and integration patterns. This person owns hard technical calls on complex initiatives and balances speed with long-term performance, maintainability, and reliability.

In this role you will:

  • Lead architecture for a from-scratch native app rewrite, replacing legacy WebView-based screens with full native experiences.
  • Design and evolve SDUI, BFF, KMP and front end layers that give the app flexibility without sacrificing native performance.
  • Bring AI into the daily engineering workflow (Claude Code and a growing set of internal tools built specifically for our stack) to speed up delivery and cut toil, not just talk about it.
  • Set the technical bar: lead architecture reviews, mentor engineers at every level, and raise the standard for code quality across the team.
