About the role

Senior dual-platform native engineer responsible for end-to-end features on iOS and Android, ensuring coherent architecture, performance, and product quality across both platforms.

Responsibilities

  • Design and ship features across iOS (Swift) and Android (Kotlin) native codebases, often the same initiative shipped in parallel on both platforms
  • Partner with design and product to translate one product spec into two platform-idiomatic implementations
  • Uphold architecture, performance, and app-size standards that apply equally to both platforms
  • Weigh in on shared client contracts (schema, logging, testing frameworks) consumed by both apps, and flag when a change would let the platforms drift apart
  • Help other engineers ramp into dual-platform work through pairing and code review
  • Participate in technical reviews and architecture discussions where judgment spans both platforms

Qualifications

  • 6+ years of professional software engineering experience
  • deep, current, hands-on expertise in both native iOS (Swift, UIKit/SwiftUI) and native Android (Kotlin, Jetpack Compose)
  • track record of independently shipping medium-to-large complexity features on either platform without ramp-up
  • ability to read, debug, and reason about the other platform's code
  • solid opinions on mobile architecture and keeping two independent native codebases coherent at scale
  • comfort owning a feature end-to-end with ambiguity and knowing when to escalate
  • experience partnering with design and product to translate ambiguous requirements into platform-appropriate implementations
  • pragmatic view on cross-platform tooling; preference for native work over React Native or Flutter
