  • Strong communication skills with the ability to articulate tradeoffs and collaborate across cross-functional teams.
  • A user-centric mindset focused on polished, intuitive, and accessible end-user experiences.
  • Preferred experience with UI automation testing, performance optimization, localization/globalization, telemetry and crash reporting, CI/CD workflows, and deployment strategies for desktop applications.
