  • Experience leading technical design, mentoring engineers, conducting code reviews, and making architecture-level decisions.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to articulate tradeoffs, collaborate cross-functionally, and drive consensus.
  • User-centric mindset focused on polished, intuitive, and accessible experiences.
  • Preferred: experience writing automated UI, integration, or UI automation tests with relevant frameworks.
  • Preferred: experience optimizing desktop app performance, including memory usage, startup time, rendering performance, high-DPI support, and responsiveness under load.
  • Preferred: experience with localization, globalization, right-to-left UI support, and internationalization.
  • Preferred: familiarity with telemetry, analytics, crash reporting, logging, and error monitoring in desktop applications.
  • Preferred: experience with CI/CD workflows, release pipelines, and deployment strategies for desktop applications.
  • Preferred: demonstrated ownership of feature areas or modules, including maintenance, refactoring, and technical debt management.
