About this role
ABOUT AIRWALLEX
Airwallex is the AI-native financial operating system for a real-time, intelligent economy. More than 675,000 businesses, including McLaren Racing, Qantas, SHEIN, and TikTok, use us, directly or through our platform partners, to run their financial operations or build and monetize financial products of their own.
We started in Melbourne in 2015 to build the infrastructure global commerce runs on. We're the regulated backbone behind global payments: not by accident, but by design. A decade plus, 85+ licenses, and a financial infrastructure spanning North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific.
We're co-headquartered in San Francisco and Singapore, with more than 2,700 people across 27 offices. We hire builders with founder-level energy, people who move fast with good judgment, dig in with real curiosity, and make calls from first principles rather than waiting to be told what to do.

ABOUT THE TEAM
The Mobile Foundations team sits at the core of Airwallex’s mobile stack. We build and evolve the shared architecture, libraries, and tooling that power our fully native iOS and Android apps.
Our apps help businesses manage global B2B payments, submit and approve expenses, and control both virtual and physical Airwallex cards—complete with seamless Apple Pay and Google Pay integration. On iOS, we work with Swift, SwiftUI, Combine, and async/await. On Android, we use Kotlin, AndroidX, Coroutines, Hilt, and the Jetpack ecosystem.
Mobile Foundations is a platform / horizontal team: we don’t just build features, we create the building blocks that enable product squads to ship faster, more reliably, and with a consistent, high-quality user experience.
This role can be based in Singapore, Melbourne, or San Francisco.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
As a Staff Mobile Engineer on the Mobile Foundations team, you will lead the technical direction of our mobile platform across iOS and Android. You will design and evolve the core architecture, own critical shared components, and act as a multiplier for mobile engineers across product teams.
