What you'll do
- Own features end-to-end: understand the problem, design a simple solution, build it (often with AI assistance), test it, and refine based on feedback
- Improve performance, reliability, release quality and developer ergonomics across native SDKs and supporting services
- Debug tricky issues across SDKs and customer integrations using logs, diagnostics and good hypotheses
- Work with Product and Delivery to understand real customer use-cases and constraints
- Propose simple, pragmatic solutions instead of over-engineering
- Help streamline the integration experience so partners can get to "first story live" quickly and safely
- Enhance documentation, code examples, and integration guides, often using AI to draft and then editing for clarity
- Identify friction points for integrators and proactively champion improvements
- Make small, continuous DX improvements (tooling, scripts, templates)
- Use AI tools by default for exploration, scaffolding and refactors, verifying outputs with tests, types, and judgement
- Participate in thoughtful code reviews with clear, kind, direct feedback
- Help improve CI pipelines, test suites and dev scripts
- Maintain high ownership and follow-through from idea to release: surface blockers early, communicate clearly, and finish what you start
What we're looking for
- 2–4 years of hands-on experience building production mobile apps or SDKs in Swift for iOS or Kotlin for Android
- Strong knowledge of at least one native mobile platform – iOS with Swift or Android with Kotlin – including its modern frameworks and build tooling
- Familiarity with APIs/HTTP, mobile app lifecycles, performance and automated testing
- A proactive mindset – you look ahead, anticipate problems, and propose solutions instead of waiting to be told what to do
- AI-native working style – comfortable adopting new tools early, especially AI-assisted coding, and seeing AI as the default starting point
- Clear reasoning and trade-off thinking – able to explain why you chose one approach over another in simple language
- Strong written and verbal communication for remote collaboration
- Reliability – deliver on commitments, surface blockers early, and take responsibility for the quality of your work
- Comfortable building libraries and APIs other developers depend on
Nice to have
- Experience building mobile SDKs, reusable libraries or developer tools
- Experience across iOS and Android, or with cross-platform SDKs such as React Native; familiarity with SDK distribution, CI/CD or versioning
- Open-source contributions, side projects or technical write-ups that show how you think
- Interest in sports, media or content tech
