• Refactor legacy codebases to improve scalability and maintainability with minimal disruption to ongoing development.
• Propose and integrate tools, frameworks, automations, and processes that enhance engineering efficiency and code quality.
• Collaborate with product management, UX, and cross-functional teams to provide engineering trade-offs and solutions to customer challenges.
• Participate in agile processes to deliver high-quality software iteratively.
• Read and understand Swift/iOS codebases, draw analogies between Android and iOS frameworks, and evaluate platform-specific capabilities and limitations.
• Mentor, guide, and manage the performance of team members, setting clear goals, providing constructive feedback, and promoting professional growth.
• Leverage AI tools to improve the efficiency of your own work and drive adoption of AI-assisted workflows across the team.
