What You'll Do

• Own the cross-platform architecture: lead the technical vision, design, and implementation of a unified UI/UX foundation that seamlessly bridges Windows and Android applications
• Drive technical strategy: architect and deliver a scalable UI framework that eliminates redundant engineering effort, allowing product teams to accelerate the rollout of new features
• Champion technical excellence: help establish engineering standards, best practices, performance and memory baselines, and code quality metrics to make sure that the UI feels highly responsible and native on a variety of device capabilities and specifications
• Align engineer teams: partner closely with globally distributed technical leaders and engineering teams
• Bridge design and engineering: collaborate with design and product to translate complex, cutting-edge user interactions into reusable, well designed technical components
• Navigate complexity: balance the need of cross platform code maintainability with the need for native-level performance and hardware optimization
• Mentor and elevate: act as a force multiplier, mentoring engineers and guiding featuring work to foster a culture of innovation, problem-solving, and continuous improvement
• Spearhead future initiatives: anticipate future technical issues and head them off before they become bottlenecks

Basic Qualifications

• 10+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 3+ years operating at a Senior level leading architecture for applications
• Bachelor's Degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline
• Cross Platform Expertise: Strong hands-on experience designing and implementing shared UI/UX codebases across multiple operating systems using frameworks like React Native, Flutter, Kotlin Multiplatform
• Native Platform Depth: Deep, proven understanding of either Android (Kotlin) or Windows (C#, WinUI, or WPF) application lifecycles, UI rendering pipelines, and memory management
• System Architecture: Demonstrate track record of architecting multi-system solutions that successfully balance code reuse with native-level performance and responsiveness.
• Delivery Track Record: A history of successfully taking architectural initiatives from initial concept through to deployment in either consumer or enterprise environments.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience designing user interfaces that handle generative and agentic AI interactions, including mitigating time to first token latency and integration with local and/or cloud based LLMs.
• Proven ability to drive technical alignment, establish coding standards, and lead complex integrations across distributed, time zone separated engineering teams.
• Passion for platform engineering, system design excellence, and staying current with emerging technologies
