  • Strong communication skills and 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 tests, including unit, integration, or UI automation tests.
  • Preferred: experience with performance optimization for desktop apps, 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 shaping CI/CD workflows, release pipelines, and deployment strategies for desktop applications.
