• Adopt an agentic-first development workflow (using tools like Cursor and Claude) to accelerate delivery and prototyping.
• Translate complex regulatory, privacy, and safety mandates into clean, reliable technical implementations.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional partners across product, legal, policy, and design.

• 8+ years of professional iOS development experience with modern Swift and Cocoa design patterns.
• Agentic workflow adoption: Hands-on experience integrating tools like Cursor and Claude into daily engineering.
• Platform & API design: Proven track record building shared components with a focus on backward compatibility and client-server integration.
• Safety & privacy mindset: Genuine interest in designing compliant, secure experiences for young audiences.
• Collaborative leadership: Strong cross-functional communication and a team-over-self mentality.
• Bonus: Prior exposure to C++ or Android development.
• Product-Led Experience: Prior experience working in a fast-paced product-based company, SaaS business, or high-growth startup is a huge plus.
