• Solid understanding of mobile architecture patterns, API integration, and performance optimization.
• Strong collaboration skills and ability to work cross‑functionally with product, analytics, and marketing teams.
• Ability to operate in a fast‑paced environment with a focus on delivering incremental value.

Preferred

• Experience working on growth engineering or product growth teams in a mobile‑first environment.
• Familiarity with analytics tools such as Segment, Amplitude, Firebase, or similar platforms.
