Head of Mobile & Web

country: US all locations: [South San Francisco, CA] commitment: Full Time department: location: South San Francisco, CA team: Software What you'll own: Lead mobile and web applications used by operators, customers, support teams, and internal users to plan work, monitor progress, manage fleets, and resolve issues in the field. Own the application experience across customer-facing products and internal tools, ensuring workflows are intuitive, consistent, secure, performant, and reliable. Scale user interfaces for autonomous machine operations, including fleet monitoring, mission planning, telemetry visualization, geospatial workflows, alerts, diagnostics, and operational reporting. Partner closely with the Cloud/Backend/Infrastructure team on API design, data contracts, service boundaries, reliability expectations, and integration patterns needed to support great application experiences. Partner with Autonomy and Platform Software teams to ensure robotic system capabilities are surfaced clearly and safely through web and mobile products. Raise the bar on interaction design, information architecture, workflow design, and UX polish, treating the app experience as a core competitive advantage. Build and lead a high-performing applications organization across mobile, web, and internal tools; set technical direction, establish quality standards, and consistently ship. What you'll do: Set the technical strategy and roadmap for Agtonomy’s application software, aligned with Product, Design, Operations, and peer engineering teams. Deliver a consistent, high-quality cross-platform experience across mobile, web, and internal applications. Translate complex industrial automation workflows into simple, familiar, and efficient product experiences. Build durable front-end and mobile architectures that support fast iteration, strong reliability, maintainability, and long-term product scale. Define strong interfaces between applications, cloud services, and edge/robotic systems, with clear ownership, expectations, and escalation paths. Collaborate with Product, QA, and operations to set standards for application quality, including performance, reliability, observability, usability, accessibility, testability, and release discipline. Hire, mentor, and grow application engineering leaders and teams; create a culture of high standards, fast learning loops, product ownership, and customer accountability. Partner deeply with Product and Design to ensure applications are not just technically sound, but polished, intuitive, and useful in the real world. What you'll bring: 8+ years in software engineering, with deep experience building high-quality web and/or mobile products. Track record shipping polished customer-facing applications backed by modern APIs, data systems, and production services. Strong product instincts: you can translate messy real-world workflows into simple, intuitive software. Experience building applications used in operational, mission-critical, or complex workflow environments. Experience leading, maintaining, and mentoring high performing software teams, ideally across mobile, web, front-end architecture, and internal/customer-facing product surfaces Demonstrated ability to partner tightly with Product, Design, QA, backend/cloud teams, and field/operations teams. Strong understanding of application architecture, release management, performance, reliability, observability, and production support. Ability to lead both strategically and practically: setting direction, improving execution, mentoring teams, and shipping. What makes you a strong fit: A proven track record building applications for connected devices, robotics, IoT, industrial automation, logistics, fleet management, mapping/geospatial systems, or other “software meets hardware” environments. Experience designing applications around telemetry, real-time status, alerts, diagnostics, operational workflows, and analytics/reporting surfaces. Experience in consumer, prosumer, or high-quality B2B product environments where UX polish and speed of iteration mattered. Strong taste for product quality: you care about the details, but know how to ship. Experience building internal tools that feel as thoughtful and reliable as customer-facing products. Comfort operating in ambiguous, fast-moving environments where product, software, hardware, autonomy, and field realities all intersect.
