• Experience working across the React Native and native boundaries (Swift/Kotlin), debugging platform‑specific issues and improving developer tooling, CI/CD, and release processes for mobile apps.
• Experience implementing experimentation, feature flagging, and analytics instrumentation in mobile applications, ensuring safe rollouts and measurable impact.
• Experience shipping web apps using declarative UI frameworks like React or Vue.
• Proficiency in working with JavaScript/TypeScript.
• A total of 4+ years of experience as a software engineer.
• Experience designing, developing, and launching backend systems at scale using technologies like Python, Kotlin, AWS, MySQL, and Kubernetes.
• Experience defining a technical plan for the delivery of a significant feature or system component with an elegant, simple, and extensible design, and writing high‑quality code that is easily understood and used by others.
• Proficiency at making significant changes in a large codebase and having developed a suite of tools and practices that enable you and your team to do so safely.
• Demonstrated ownership of growth and proactive seeking of feedback from team, manager, and stakeholders.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills that support effective collaboration with a global engineering team.
