  • Build upon observability and performance tooling that gives engineers and on-callers clarity and confidence
  • Partner with iOS, Web, and backend engineers to deliver consistent, high-quality cross-platform experiences
  • Proactively identify where AI creates real leverage in platform and product engineering workflows, and act on it
  • Lead architecture and design reviews across team boundaries and help set standards that scale

  • Strong systems thinking to identify non-obvious problems and design right solutions
  • Exceptional communication including crisp design docs, productive design reviews, and the ability to build alignment
  • Deep Android expertise covering Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, modern architecture patterns, build systems, performance profiling, and testing at scale

Preferred qualifications

  • Experience building developer platforms, shared libraries, or internal tooling used across large engineering organizations
  • Experience with Kotlin Multiplatform
