- Play a key role in shaping our front-end architecture and shared component systems, autonomy to influence both technical direction and broader product outcomes.
- Identify performance bottlenecks and implement solutions to improve user experience across devices.

- You keep things simple and scalable - you write clean, maintainable code and make pragmatic decisions that balance speed, quality and long-term growth.
- You thrive in cross-functional teams - you collaborate closely with engineers, designers and product managers to deliver exceptional results.

- You understand the mobile experience - you’re familiar with building responsive, performant apps that run seamlessly across web and/or hybrid platforms.
