• 8+ years of experience in Android or mobile development
• 1+ year of tech leadership experience
• Experience working on a 0-1 team and product, inventing technologies to meet novel use cases
• You love writing technical docs and convincing others of your approach.
• Strong organizational skills, the ability to prioritize tasks and to deliver projects on schedule.
• Exceptional communication skills with peers, cross-functional partners and leadership
• Nice to have: Familiarity with Javascript bridge layers like JavascriptCore or Hermes
