About this opportunity

At Studocu, our mobile apps are a critical part of how millions of students discover, share, and study with course materials every day. As our platform grows, mobile has become a central hub for product innovation, discovery, and monetization. We are looking for an Engineering Manager who will take ownership of the entire mobile platform - ensuring it remains fast, scalable, reliable, and easy for product teams to build on.

• Strengthen bug tracking, debugging, and issue resolution workflows to ensure a high-quality user experience
• Identify and resolve technical debt, broken processes, and platform gaps that slow down development
• Partner with internal teams (AI teams, operations, marketing, and other engineering groups) to support new product initiatives on mobile
• Help the team maintain its high delivery speed while improving planning, predictability, and product stability

What you’ll bring to the team:

• 6+ years of Software Engineering experience, specifically with mobile apps
• Experience as an Engineering Manager, Tech / Team Lead
