  • Experience leading technical design, mentoring engineers, conducting code reviews, and making architecture-level decisions.
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to explain tradeoffs, collaborate cross-functionally, and drive consensus.
  • User-centric mindset focused on polished, intuitive, and accessible experiences for end users.
  • Preferred experience with automated UI testing, performance optimization, localization/globalization, telemetry, crash reporting, CI/CD workflows, and long-term ownership of feature areas.
