Looking for a Senior Software Engineer who can operate as a true dual-platform native engineer with current fluency in both iOS and Android.

Design and ship features across our iOS (Swift) and Android (Kotlin) native codebases, often the same initiative, shipped in parallel on both platforms
Partner with design and product to translate one product spec into two platform-idiomatic implementations, rather than porting one platform's UI onto the other
Uphold architecture, performance, and app-size standards that apply equally to both platforms
Weigh in on shared client contracts (schema, logging, testing frameworks) consumed by both apps, and flag when a change would let the platforms drift apart
Help other engineers ramp into dual-platform work through pairing and code review
Participate in technical reviews and architecture discussions where your judgment is expected to span both platforms, not just one

6+ years of professional software engineering experience, with deep, current, hands-on expertise in both native iOS (Swift, UIKit/SwiftUI) and native Android (Kotlin, Jetpack Compose)
A track record of independently shipping medium-to-large complexity features on either platform without ramp-up
Ability to read, debug, and reason about the other platform's code even where you're less deep
Solid opinions on mobile architecture, backed by experience keeping two independent native codebases coherent at scale
Comfort owning a feature end-to-end with real ambiguity, and identifying when a decision needs to be escalated versus made independently
Experience partnering closely with design and product to translate ambiguous requirements into concrete, platform-appropriate implementations

The role may include occasional work at an Airbnb office or attendance at offsites, as agreed to with your manager.
