We operate in small, productive Agile teams and use the best industry tools to collaborate cross-functionally.

What You’ll Do:

• Partner with software engineers, designers, and product managers to deliver high-performing, quality features for 100M+ customers that are engaging, purposeful and powerful in their simplicity.
• Provide technical leadership for mobile architecture and design patterns, acting as a multiplier for your team's impact.
• Mentor other engineers, fostering their growth through thoughtful feedback, code reviews, and sharing of platform-specific best practices, while helping to identify and clear technical obstacles.
• Grow and provide subject matter expertise in key platform areas (e.g., performance, accessibility, architecture).
• Contribute to mobile architecture decisions, API design reviews, and reusable component development.
• Lead the design and development of client Backend-for-Frontends (BFFs) and Server-Driven UI (SDUI) architectures to deliver scalable and flexible product experiences.
• Lead the implementation and refinement of well-managed engineering practices, defining best practices for feature flags and staged rollouts to improve product delivery and quality.
• Champion the adoption of agentic AI tools, mentoring engineers in AI-native development practices to increase team velocity.
• Apply mastery of the modern mobile ecosystem (including deep platform-specific capabilities and advanced UI patterns) to make complex, high-leverage, hands-on technical contributions.
• Drive a culture of quality, performance, accessibility, and customer empathy, establishing high standards for coding, testing, and user experience.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's Degree or higher in Computer Science or a related quantitative field (Statistics, Economics, Operations Research, Analytics, Mathematics, Engineering).
• At least 4 years of professional software engineering experience (internship experience does not apply).
• At least 3 years of experience building native mobile applications for Android (Kotlin) or iOS (Swift).

Requirements

• Proven experience building native mobile applications for Android (Kotlin) or iOS (Swift).
• Demonstrated experience with modern native UI frameworks (e.g., SwiftUI, Jetpack Compose).
• Demonstrated experience designing and building automated testing suites for mobile (e.g., Swift Testing, XCUI, JUnit, Espresso).
• Proven experience with performance tuning and optimization on native mobile platforms.
• Demonstrated experience designing scalable mobile architectures and reusable component libraries.
• Experience implementing and maintaining comprehensive automated testing.
• Demonstrated experience with modular architecture and modern state management patterns.
• Demonstrated experience designing and developing client Backend-for-Frontends (BFFs) to orchestrate data for mobile clients using technologies like GraphQL and efficient networking protocols (e.g., gRPC/Protobuf).
• Demonstrated experience with Server-Driven UI (SDUI) architectures.
• Demonstrated experience in metrics-driven staged rollout and feature flag strategies.
• Expertise with agentic AI coding tools and AI-assisted workflow patterns.
• Familiarity with on-device ML frameworks (e.g., CoreML, TensorFlow Lite).

Benefits

• Comprehensive, competitive, and inclusive set of health, financial and other benefits that support your total well-being.
• Performance-based incentive compensation, which may include cash bonus(es) and/or long term incentives (LTI).
