  • A user-centric mindset focused on polished, intuitive, and accessible experiences.
  • Preferred experience writing automated UI tests, including unit, integration, or UI automation tests.
  • Preferred experience optimizing desktop app performance, including memory usage, startup time, rendering, 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 shaping CI/CD workflows, release pipelines, and deployment strategies for desktop apps.
