• Strong understanding of concurrency, data flow patterns, mobile performance optimization, and long-term code maintainability
• Able to mentor peers, support team growth, and help others level up technically
• Familiarity with continuous integration and deployment practices (Bitrise, Jenkins, Fastlane)

Preferred

• Experience with RxSwift, RxFlow, or other functional reactive programming frameworks
• Prior experience in architecture at scale, ideally with exposure to backend systems or full-stack workflows
• Track record of product leadership and collaboration with executive-level stakeholders
• Contributions to open source, speaking at conferences, or mentoring early-career engineers is a plus
