Mobile / UI/UX Engineer
Stanbridge University | Technology & Product Engineering
Position Summary
Stanbridge University is seeking a highly capable, product-minded Mobile / UI/UX Engineer to design, develop, and enhance our growing ecosystem of student-facing digital platforms.
This mid- to senior-level position combines mobile application development, front-end engineering, and user experience design. The ideal candidate is a hands-on engineer who can translate complex workflows into intuitive, visually compelling, and functional digital experiences—and independently build the solutions they design.
The engineer will initially focus on enhancing existing digital platforms, improving usability, performance, and mobile responsiveness while helping establish a consistent, scalable user experience across the University's broader application ecosystem. The role will also contribute to the design and development of new student-facing applications and emerging digital initiatives.
As our platforms evolve, this position will play an important role in expanding our mobile capabilities, including developing native or cross-platform applications for iOS and Android. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to progressively assume greater technical ownership, including independently architecting, developing, and deploying complete mobile applications.
We are seeking a versatile builder who thrives in a collaborative, fast-moving environment, embraces AI-assisted development, and takes ownership of solutions from concept through deployment.
