• Build robust integrations with Apple platform components: media playback, deep links, app lifecycle behavior, accessibility, privacy controls, and device capabilities
• Optimize performance, reliability, and responsiveness at global scale: rendering quality, scrolling performance, startup time, media load latency, network resiliency, battery usage, crash-free sessions
• Establish and evolve testing and quality systems: unit, integration, snapshot/UI, automated regression, release validation workflows
• Collaborate with Product, Design, Research, backend, and Safety to deliver ads experiences meeting safety, privacy, fairness, and policy compliance standards

• Experience building polished mobile UI systems, media-rich experiences, rendering frameworks, design systems, or reusable product infrastructure
• Makes pragmatic architectural tradeoffs while keeping systems maintainable, testable, and scalable
• Cares deeply about performance, reliability, privacy, and user experience with a high bar for polish
• Thrives in 0→1 environments where systems, architecture, and user experiences must be defined from scratch

Bonus
