Strong hands-on experience building multi-platform features using shared UI/UX codebases and frameworks like React Native, Flutter, or Kotlin Multiplatform.
Experience in either Android (Kotlin) or Windows (C#, WinUI, or WPF) application lifecycles, UI rendering pipelines, and memory management.
Experience architecting complex features or sub-systems that successfully balance code reuse with native-level performance and responsiveness.
Experience taking major product capabilities from initial concept through to deployment in either consumer or enterprise environments.

Nice To Haves

Experience designing and building user interfaces that handle generative and agentic AI interactions, including mitigating time-to-first-token latency and integrating with local and/or cloud-based LLMs.
Proven ability to drive technical alignment within a feature squad and collaborate effectively across distributed, time-zone separated engineering teams.
Passion for product engineering, delivering exceptional user experiences, and staying current with emerging technologies.

Responsibilities

Lead Feature Architecture: Drive the technical vision, design, and implementation of high-impact AI features that seamlessly bridge Windows and Android applications.
Deliver High-Quality Product: Architect and ship robust, scalable capabilities by leveraging our core UI framework, allowing your team to accelerate the rollout of cutting-edge features.
Ensure Technical Excellence: Uphold engineering standards, best practices, and code quality metrics within your feature domain to ensure the UI feels highly responsive and native across a variety of device specifications.
Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Partner closely with product managers, designers, and foundational platform engineers to translate complex user interactions into polished, production-ready features.
Navigate Complexity: Balance the need for cross-platform code maintainability with the need for native-level performance and hardware optimization for the capabilities you own.
Mentor and Elevate: Act as a force multiplier within your team, mentoring mid-level and senior engineers and guiding feature work to foster a culture of innovation, problem-solving, and continuous improvement.
Anticipate Challenges: Proactively identify technical bottlenecks and system constraints within your product area and head them off before they impact delivery.
