  • Strong communication skills and the ability to articulate tradeoffs, collaborate cross-functionally, and drive consensus.
  • User-centric mindset focused on building polished, intuitive, and accessible experiences.
  • Experience writing automated UI tests, including unit, integration, or UI automation tests, is preferred.
  • Experience optimizing desktop app performance, including memory usage, startup time, rendering performance, high-DPI support, and responsiveness under load, is preferred.
  • Experience with localization, globalization, right-to-left UI support, and internationalization is preferred.
  • Familiarity with telemetry, analytics, crash reporting, logging, and error monitoring in desktop applications is preferred.
  • Experience shaping CI/CD workflows, release pipelines, and deployment strategies for desktop applications is preferred.
