What to expect

The Lead Developer (Mobile) will define the technical direction, lead and mentor a team of Senior and Mid‑Level Software Engineers, and own the end‑to‑end development and delivery of the Post Office Mobile Travel App and in‑branch Government Service applications. You will be a key driver in leveraging modern engineering practices and cloud services to deliver secure, high‑quality, scalable mobile experiences across iOS and Android.

Success will be achieved by applying well‑architected code, robust full‑stack integration with Post Office digital services, strong CI/CD automation, and a culture of technical excellence. This role is for an experienced leader who has delivered eCommerce/retail‑grade mobile applications at scale, with production experience in React Native (TypeScript) and cloud platforms (e.g., AWS), and who thrives in Agile environments.

How our people behave is as important to Post Office, as what is delivered. The Lead Developer (Mobile) will role model the Post Office behaviours and demonstrate a Postmaster first mindset.

What we can do for you

Our business is changing and we understand that attracting the right talent is pivotal in driving the positive change needed, to help us achieve our ambitious goals. Beyond a competitive salary, we offer a comprehensive benefits package that includes:

27.5 days annual leave (rising to 30 after 2 years), plus bank holidays
Up to 18% on target bonus opportunity
Annual car allowance
Generous pension scheme with minimum 10% employer contribution
Access to 24/7 digital GP services and our Employee Assistance Programme
6 x Life assurance and income protection after 12 months service
Over 400 online courses, mentoring, apprenticeships, and development programmes
