Overview

Want to build the digital play experiences that bring LEGO products to life? This role helps ensure that strong mobile engineering becomes a foundational capability across our portfolio rather than something solved app by app. By driving architecture, improving development practices, and supporting both modern cross-platform and legacy applications, you’ll give the team the technical strength to move faster and build with confidence. Your work will directly support the broader organization’s ambition to deliver high-quality digital play experiences that children love and families trust.

Responsibilities

  • Design, architect, develop, and maintain scalable cross-platform mobile applications for LEGO consumers.
  • Lead technical decisions on app architecture, code structure, and platform strategy to support long-term scalability and maintainability.
  • Maintain and evolve legacy Unity applications by delivering new features and supporting upcoming LEGO products and experiences.
  • Partner closely with UI/UX designers to deliver world‑class user experiences with high attention to quality, usability, and visual detail.
  • Ensure high engineering standards across code quality, testing, automation, release processes, and application reliability.
  • Collaborate with Quality Assurance and Consumer Service teams to identify issues, improve app performance, and enhance customer satisfaction across multiple products.
  • Mentor and support other engineers on architectural patterns, scalable development practices, and modern cross‑platform frameworks and tools.

Requirements

  • Hands‑on production experience with Unity or a similar cross‑platform mobile app framework (Flutter, React Native, KMP, etc.).
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals, including architecture, object‑oriented design, testing, debugging, and performance optimization.
  • Proven experience designing scalable, maintainable application architecture for consumer‑facing mobile apps.
  • Experience working with legacy codebases and modernizing existing applications while maintaining stability and compatibility.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively across engineering, QA, design, and product teams to deliver high‑quality user experiences.
  • Strong understanding of code quality practices, automated testing, CI/CD, and release processes for mobile applications.
  • Significant software engineering experience, with substantial experience developing mobile or cross‑platform consumer applications.

Benefits

  • Family Care Leave – enhanced paid leave options for important times.
  • Insurances – life and disability insurance coverage for all colleagues.
  • Wellbeing – resources and benefits to nurture physical and mental wellbeing, plus opportunities to build community and inspire creativity.
  • Colleague Discount – eligibility for generous discounts from day 1.
  • Bonus – rewards through a bonus scheme when goals are reached and eligibility applies.
  • Workplace – assigned primary workplace location with hybrid work policy (average 3 days per week in the office).
