Deliver features end-to-end across iOS, Android, Web, and backend services, moving fluidly between platforms depending on what each initiative requires, and leveraging AI-assisted development tools to accelerate work in less-familiar codebases
Instrument your work properly: define the events, build the visibility, and use data to iterate fast
Take full ownership of the technical bar and architecture, while upholding engineering standards, where your decisions have outsized impact and every voice counts
Partner directly with the CEO, a Senior PM, and a Senior Designer in a tight, high-trust team that moves fast and ships things people actually use
Some Things You’ve Likely Done in the Past
Built social or engagement systems at scale with feeds, referral flows, notification infrastructure, social graphs, or real-time interactions at a gaming or consumer social company
Owned a feature end-to-end across the full stack: you designed the data model, wrote the API, shipped the client, and monitored it in production
Shipped production features across more than one client platform (iOS, Android, or Web) - you have depth in at least one and have demonstrated you can build in the others with ramp-up time and modern tooling
Instrumented a growth or engagement feature with analytics events and used the data to drive meaningful iteration
Worked in a fast-moving, low-process environment where you drove your own work without waiting to be told what to build next
Used AI-assisted development tools (Claude, Copilot, or similar code-generation tools) as genuine accelerators - you see them as force multipliers, and have a clear point of view on how to use them well
Written production code or had exposure in two or more of the following technologies: Swift, Kotlin, React Native, Typescript, Dart, or Python that served millions of users
Built something - a side project, an open source tool, a game mechanic - because you wanted to, not because someone asked you to
