About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Design and implement major user-facing features in Kotlin or Swift, and sometimes Typescript in our hybrid web/native application stack
Build intelligent agents that instrument code and analyze hard to pin down performance and stability metrics — spotting trends and anomalies a human would need days to surface
Make the mobile app experience sing with features not achievable in the web stack alone
Use AI-assisted and agentic coding tools to accelerate delivery: steer agents, critically review and validate generated output, and refactor into maintainable, production-quality code — without lowering the bar on craft
Define quality planning for the entire app lifecycle, not just before release
Collaborate with Product Management and Designers to define the product roadmap and assess new technologies
