Senior Mobile Developer (iOS / Android) — TS Cleared Location: Washington, D.C. (Onsite)*Clearance Required:** Active Top Secret
Position Status: Direct Hire
Salary: Up to $216,000 Position Overview We are seeking an experienced Senior Mobile Developer to design, build, and deploy secure, high-performance mobile applications supporting a mission-critical federal program in Washington, D.C. This is a hands-on engineering role for a developer who has personally owned the full mobile development lifecycle — from architecture and coding through testing, deployment, and sustainment. You will work alongside a collaborative team of engineers to deliver native and cross-platform applications that operate reliably in secure, high-stakes environments. If you take pride in clean code, thoughtful architecture, and shipping products that make a real impact, this role offers the autonomy, technical challenge, and long-term stability of a direct-hire position. What You'll Do - Design, develop, and maintain native and/or cross-platform mobile applications for iOS and Android in a secure environment.
- Own features end to end — architecture, implementation, testing, deployment, and ongoing optimization.
- Collaborate with product owners, UX designers, and backend engineers to translate requirements into intuitive, performant mobile experiences.
- Write clean, well-documented, maintainable code and participate in peer code reviews.
- Integrate mobile applications with secure RESTful APIs, backend services, and authentication frameworks.
- Optimize application performance, security, and responsiveness across devices and OS versions.
- Apply secure coding practices and support accreditation, compliance, and DevSecOps requirements. Required Skills & Experience - Active Top Secret clearance** (required to start).
- 7+ years of professional software development experience, with a strong concentration in mobile development.
- Demonstrated, hands-on expertise building native mobile applications using Swift / SwiftUI / Objective-C (iOS) and/or **Kotlin / Java (Android).
- Proficiency integrating mobile apps with RESTful APIs, microservices, and secure authentication (OAuth, SSO, PKI).
- Solid command of mobile architecture patterns (MVVM, MVC), version control (Git), and CI/CD pipelines.
- Experience with the full mobile development lifecycle, including testing frameworks, debugging, and App Store / enterprise deployment.
- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently in an onsite, collaborative team setting.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field (equivalent professional experience considered). Preferred Qualifications - Experience with cross-platform frameworks (React Native, Flutter).
- Background developing for secure, federal, or DoD/IC environments.
- Familiarity with mobile device management (MDM), containerization, or secure mobile frameworks.
- Knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure) and DevSecOps practices.
