DataBank is seeking an Engineering Manager of Mobile and Automation to lead all mobile application engineering and to own DataBank's QA automation tooling strategy. This is a hybrid technical leadership role: you will lead React Native mobile development for iOS and Android, and separately own the test automation tooling and infrastructure that powers quality across engineering, built on Playwright. The mandate is shift-left quality at scale — your tooling team builds and maintains the robust automation infrastructure, so that product engineering teams can write and own their own test case automation on a reliable, shared foundation. You will model how DataBank works: Extreme Ownership, Put People First, Be Data Centered, and Collaborate Before You Escalate.

Responsibilities

Mobile Engineering Leadership

• Own all mobile application engineering across iOS and Android built on React Native, setting architectural standards, coding best practices, and engineering governance with clear accountability for outcomes.
• Own the end-to-end mobile release lifecycle: release planning, versioning, deployment governance, rollback strategies, and mobile distribution via iOS (App Store) and Android (Google Play).
• Drive mobile performance optimization (app load times, startup performance, crash-free rates) and scalable mobile architecture.
• Partner with web frontend, UX and product teams to align on shared component strategy and a consistent cross-platform user experience where practical.

QA Automation & Tooling Strategy (Shift-Left)

• Own the QA automation tooling roadmap, with Playwright as the core automation framework and foundation for engineering-wide test tooling.
• Champion a shift-left testing strategy: build and maintain the tooling, frameworks, and conventions that let product engineering teams author and own their own test case automation, while your team owns the underlying infrastructure that keeps those tests reliable.
• Design and operate the automation infrastructure required to run tests reliably at scale, including environment provisioning, flaky-test detection and quarantine, and test-health reporting and observability.
• Own regression suite architecture: sequencing and prioritization of test injection within the regression suite, tagging and categorization strategy, and risk-based test selection.
• Build and scale parallelized test execution to minimize regression run time while preserving reliability and coverage.
• Integrate automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines (GitLab), including gating strategy, pipeline design, and fast feedback loops for developers.
• Establish self-service standards, tooling, and documentation so developers can extend automated test coverage independently, without depending on the tooling team for every new test case.

Team Building & Talent Development

• Lead and grow both the mobile engineering team and the QA automation/tooling team, attracting top talent and developing engineers and emerging leaders across both disciplines.
• Put People First by creating clear expectations, coaching with candor, and helping teams navigate ambiguity while aligning engineering capacity with business priorities.

Quality, Metrics & Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Establish and track a meaningful
