Principal Software Engineer

Who you are

• 15+ years of industry experience, including building large-scale, consumer or enterprise mobile applications
• 10+ years in senior engineering roles, designing APIs, abstractions, and tools used by other engineers
• Expert-level knowledge of native iOS development (Swift, UIKit/SwiftUI, Xcode) and/or native Android development (Kotlin, Jetpack, Android Studio) — deep expertise in one platform with strong working knowledge of the other
• Proven experience architecting mobile apps for scale: modularization, offline-first design, dependency injection, and clean separation of concerns
• Experience taking existing mobile codebases from monolithic to modular, domain-based architectures
• Strong background in mobile performance engineering — app startup time, memory and battery efficiency, rendering performance, and crash-free rates
• Experience with mobile observability and monitoring tools (for example, Firebase Crashlytics, Datadog, New Relic, or Application Insights)
• Experience with mobile CI/CD pipelines and release automation (for example, Fastlane, Bitrise, GitHub Actions, or TeamCity)
• Deep familiarity with version control, unit and UI testing, debugging, and profiling tools standard to mobile development
• Experience integrating large-scale third-party SDKs and APIs into mobile apps
• Working knowledge of cloud infrastructure supporting mobile backends (Azure, AWS, or similar)
• Ability to empathize with our users and champion their experience
• Strong communication and technical writing skills
• B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field
• Being human isn’t about checking every box on a list. It’s about the experiences we have, people we meet, and the perspectives we share. So, if you have the skills but are hesitant to apply because of your background, apply anyway
• We need amazing people like you to help us challenge the conventional and think differently about the problems that we’re solving. We’re in this together. Come be human, with us
