[Hiring] Mobile / UI/UX Engineer @Stanbridge University

Role Description

Stanbridge University is seeking a highly capable, product-minded Mobile / UI/UX Engineer to design, develop, and enhance our growing ecosystem of student-facing digital platforms. This mid- to senior-level position combines mobile application development, front-end engineering, and user experience design. The ideal candidate is a hands-on engineer who can translate complex workflows into intuitive, visually compelling, and functional digital experiences—and independently build the solutions they design.

The engineer will initially focus on enhancing existing digital platforms, improving usability, performance, and mobile responsiveness while helping establish a consistent, scalable user experience across the University's broader application ecosystem. The role will also contribute to the design and development of new student-facing applications and emerging digital initiatives.

As our platforms evolve, this position will play an important role in expanding our mobile capabilities, including developing native or cross-platform applications for iOS and Android. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to progressively assume greater technical ownership, including independently architecting, developing, and deploying complete mobile applications.

We are seeking a versatile builder who thrives in a collaborative, fast-moving environment, embraces AI-assisted development, and takes ownership of solutions from concept through deployment.

Qualifications

• Approximately 4–7+ years of professional software engineering experience, including substantial hands-on front-end development and experience contributing to mobile application development.
• Demonstrated experience in front-end software engineering and building production-quality user interfaces.

• Experience with React, Vue, Angular, or comparable component-based frameworks.
• Hands-on experience with mobile application development technologies such as React Native, Flutter, Swift, Kotlin, or comparable frameworks, with an understanding of native or cross-platform mobile development.
• Demonstrated ability to design and implement user interfaces using Figma or comparable design platforms.
• Strong understanding of UI/UX principles, interaction design, accessibility, and responsive, mobile-first development.
• Experience integrating applications with RESTful APIs or comparable backend services.
• Familiarity with Git, modern software development workflows, testing, debugging, and CI/CD practices.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Human-Computer Interaction, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
• Experience developing, testing, and deploying production mobile applications for iOS or Android.
• Experience contributing to mobile application architecture, technical design decisions, and scalable application development.
• Familiarity with mobile application lifecycle management, performance optimization, security, and deployment processes.
• Experience developing reusable UI component libraries and maintaining shared design systems.
• Experience with AI-assisted software development tools and modern engineering workflows.
• Demonstrated ability and interest in progressively assuming independent ownership of mobile application architecture and development.
