Founding Mobile Engineer, Go-to-Market

Summary

QualGent is building an AI-powered verification layer for mobile applications by combining AI with expert testers to identify issues before release. The Founding Mobile Engineer, Go-to-Market will lead customer acquisition among mobile teams, qualify prospects, support trial kickoffs, shape pricing and product decisions, and own messaging and outreach.

Responsibilities

• Bring mobile teams to the table. Start with your own network, then build the channels that reach past it: communities, conferences, content, and direct outreach to engineers like you
• Qualify, then hand off to close. Run first conversations, find the real release pain, and bring qualified teams to our CEO to close. As you prove it out, you'll take more of the deal yourself
• Get new customers to a first win. Join trial kickoffs for the teams you bring in, so the engineers who trusted you get value fast
• Shape pricing, packaging, and product. Work with our CEO on how we package and price QualGent. Bring evidence from the market into product decisions, and help decide what we automate next
• Own how we show up to mobile engineers. Website, positioning, talks, posts, and case studies, written by someone who has shipped a mobile app

• You know iOS or Android release pipelines firsthand: CI/CD, TestFlight or Firebase App Distribution, device fragmentation, and at least one testing framework (XCUITest, Espresso, Maestro, Detox, or Appium)
• You know people who build mobile apps
• You can name the mobile leads who'd take your call
• You've started conversations with strangers before
• A side project with real users, a talk, a meetup you ran, an open source project you supported, or client-facing agency work
• You ask before you pitch
• You find what's actually breaking a team's releases before you mention a product
• You're comfortable talking about money
• Pricing, pushback, and asking for the decision
• You want founder-level ownership
• No playbook is waiting. You're helping build it
• Experience in developer relations, solutions engineering, or a forward-deployed role
