• Partner with BFF engineers to define API contracts and server-driven UI patterns that power the native experience layer.

• Leverage AI-assisted development tools to accelerate personal and team productivity, and champion adoption of these workflows across the squad.

• Drive architectural decisions for the native platform, establishing shared patterns, reusable components, and cross-platform consistency.

• Partner with product, design, and engineering leadership to translate business objectives into well-scoped technical work.

• Collaborate closely with team members and contractors, contributing to quality standards and knowledge sharing across the squad.

• Identify and address technical debt that impacts platform stability, performance, or developer velocity.

• Champion best practices around app security, crash reporting, observability, and release quality.

KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND ABILITIES

• Strong proficiency in Swift and Kotlin with hands-on experience shipping production mobile applications.

• Deep understanding of native mobile development patterns, architecture, and platform-specific best practices.

• Proficiency with AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor) and a track record of using them to accelerate delivery.

• Familiarity with live streaming, video playback, or media-rich application development.

• Experience working across multiple platforms or a demonstrated willingness to learn new ones.

• Strong understanding of RESTful APIs and experience collaborating with backend teams on API design and integration.

• Familiarity with app performance monitoring, crash reporting, and observability tooling.

• Familiarity with mobile CI/CD pipelines and tooling (e.g., Fastlane, Bitrise, Xcode Cloud).

• Ownership mindset with a bias for action and a drive to solve hard problems.

• Excellent communication skills and ability to work effectively in a team with a mix of FTEs and contractors.

• A growth-oriented mindset with curiosity to explore new technologies and platforms.

BONUS POINTS
