Your impact

As our Sr. Android Developer, you will join our small development team and immediately make an impact. Reporting to the Director, of Engineering you’ll be relied on for making technical decisions on the strategy, usability, and functionality of our infrastructure and cloud-based development stack. Mobi is currently in beta and has been spending the past few years gearing up our networking offering as we look to bring our services to the continental USA.

Mobi is the first completely cloud-based core network provider in North America. We have been working closely with some key partners to enable these services and are now looking to tie it all together on the AWS cloud with whom we have a close working relationship.

Mobi is and is not like most SaaS tech companies, we have the traditional software you would expect for a digital service - we have our apps, website, support systems, databases, and CRM for customer activation, management, billing etc.. However, as a wireless provider, we rely on the cloud for much more. All of the core network and telephony protocol is hosted natively and through our various partners — primarily in the cloud. We are taking on the complexities of the wireless industry as we work with like minded partners to enable and modernize the essential telephony services of authentication, aggregation, charging, call control/switching, service invocation, gateways, HLR/VLR and everything in between.

This role will be the first dedicated infrastructure position on our team and your impact will be critical as you work with our Director, engineering and entire product and network teams to strategize our server infrastructure and network planning processes for our ever changing and expanding business requirements.

Our story

We stand by our vision of what a wireless provider can and should be when it comes to accessibility and experience, both for our customers and for our team. As the largest wireless provider based in Hawai‘i, Mobi started out by connecting thousands of families, friends, and colleagues across the Hawaiian islands to who and what is most important to them. To us, Aloha means so much more than just “hello.”

We believe passionately in the power of people. For this next chapter, we are taking our values and our amazing team to the rest of the continental US, because we wholeheartedly believe that mobile services should not be a privilege, and should instead be accessible and affordable to everyone.

At Mobi, we value people, innovation and fairness, above all else. People are at the core of what we do, and why we do it - we believe in our team, and care about our customers and communities.

Our team is made up of diverse individuals whose unique skills, strengths, and personalities contribute to and shape who we are as a team and an organization. We embrace our team members’ diverse outlooks, skills and experiences, and value their perspectives. We are looking for individuals to join our team, who also share the same values that motivate us each day: we work hard to deliver thoughtful experiences, and are constantly challenging ourselves to be forward-thinking, inclusive, and innovative within our roles and our field.

Our union

In October 2023, Mobi embraced unionization, with representation by the Communications Workers of America. All non-management Mobi team members throughout Hawai’i, in the continental US, in Canada, and México across all departments are represented by CWA Local 9415.

Under Article XIII of the constitution of Hawaiʻi, the first and fourteenth amendments of the constitution of the United States, Section 2(d) of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms of Canada, and article 123 of the constitution of México, we uphold and safeguard the fundamental rights of all Mobi team members. These rights include the freedom to organize, engage in collective bargaining, and be represented. At Mobi, we stand in solidarity, recognizing, respecting, protecting, and deeply believing in these rights.
