Staff Software Engineer I, Mobile

What You’ll Do

• Take ownership of a team’s architecture—providing system-wide design guidance, decomposing software architecture into discrete components, and ensuring sound tradeoffs across competing dimensions.
• Produce architecture that is exemplary in terms of efficiency, stability, extensibility, and the ability to evolve; designs reflect strategic vision, awareness of non-functional requirements, and future product flexibility.
• Use AI to explore and validate architectural patterns and decisions; design AI-augmented workflows (e.g., automated code generation, incident analysis) that multiply team output and enable engineers at all levels to work more effectively.
• Establish guardrails for safe and responsible AI usage across your team, covering security, compliance, and output correctness.
• Drive best practices across the organization; lead initiatives to eliminate tech debt and prepare the codebase for future roadmap requirements.
• Drive large-scale initiatives to reduce tech debt, improve architecture, and raise the quality bar.
• Partner with design to define a mobile design system and UX heuristics.
• Owning mobile CI/CD, app release process, and SDK/framework upgrades.
• Bring critical thinking and drive shared understanding in ambiguous situations; given a clear vision, create a strategy; given a clear strategy, define a sequence of objectives.
• Provide a system-wide view to the engineers you work with; share architectural improvements across the tech org to build buy-in and drive broad implementation.
• Develop strong working relationships cross-functionally and with business stakeholders; make sound tradeoffs between competing needs across short- and long-term horizons.
• Empower engineers to set ambitious goals and turn vision into reality; mentor and develop engineers across the organization, not just your immediate team.
