This is a high‑growth position with a clear path toward Staff‑level engineering leadership.

• Develop and maintain native iOS and Android applications, delivering high‑quality streaming experiences at scale.
• Contribute to TV platform applications (Apple TV, Fire TV/Android TV, Roku) alongside a team of cross‑platform engineers.
• Partner with BFF engineers to define API contracts and server‑driven UI patterns that power the native experience layer.
• Leverage AI‑assisted development tools to accelerate personal and team productivity, and champion adoption of these workflows across the squad.
• Drive architectural decisions for the native platform, establishing shared patterns, reusable components, and cross‑platform consistency.
• Partner with product, design, and engineering leadership to translate business objectives into well‑scoped technical work.
• Collaborate closely with team members and contractors, contributing to quality standards and knowledge sharing across the squad.
• Identify and address technical debt that impacts platform stability, performance, or developer velocity.
• Champion best practices around app security, crash reporting, observability, and release quality.

• Strong proficiency in Swift and Kotlin with hands‑on experience shipping production mobile applications.
• Deep understanding of native mobile development patterns, architecture, and platform‑specific best practices.
• Proficiency with AI‑assisted development tools (e.g., Git Hub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor) and a track record of using them to accelerate delivery.
• Familiarity with live streaming, video playback, or media‑rich application development.
• Experience working across multiple platforms or a demonstrated willingness to learn new ones.
• Strong understanding of RESTful APIs and experience collaborating with backend teams on API design and integration.
• Familiarity with app performance monitoring, crash reporting, and observability tooling.
• Familiarity with mobile CI/CD pipelines and tooling (e.g., Fastlane, Bitrise, Xcode Cloud).
• Ownership mindset with a bias for action and a drive to solve hard problems.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work effectively in a team with a mix of FTEs and contractors.
• A growth‑oriented mindset with curiosity to explore new technologies and platforms.

• Experience with server‑driven UI (SDUI) or backend‑for‑frontend (BFF) architecture patterns.
• Experience with TV platform development (tvOS, Fire TV, Android TV, Roku).
• Contributions to shared component libraries or design systems in a native mobile context.
