About the Team
MxT(Mobile Excellence and Tooling) is the mobile platform team at Gojek. We build small tools and standardize processes, SDKs so that product engineers can focus on Product Features. The team acts as a Center of Excellence for app performance and mobile security along with improving mobile engineers' developer experience and productivity (working in teams like GoRide, GoFood, Transport, GoPartner, etc).
Core areas that we focus on -
Developer Experience and Tooling: We are a super app consisting of 22 products, each big enough to be a startup on its own. Apart from this, we have equally feature-rich driver and merchant apps. This pod is on a mission to evaluate build systems and migrate to them to get granular control on how we build our apps and the time required for the same. Reliability of CI infra for mobile apps and automated PR feedback are also the responsibilities of this team.
Foundation and Building Blocks: This team works on creating common frameworks, as in NetworkSDK, Clickstream, etc, which internal products use to build upon and code generators for boilerplates. The team also takes care of making sure the Gojek app performance is top-notch and industry-leading!
App Excellence and Insights Tooling: The purpose of the App Excellence and Insights Team is to drive the success of our mobile applications by enabling teams to better monitor, maintain, and improve performance and providing data-driven insights to inform decision-making. We will identify areas for improvement, and provide recommendations to enhance app performance and ultimately user satisfaction.
