Integrate REST and GraphQL APIs with resilient networking, thoughtful state handling, caching where appropriate, and clear failure states
Improve app performance, responsiveness, startup behavior, crash-free sessions, and overall reliability
Partner with Product, Design, iOS, Backend, QA, and Test Engineering to clarify requirements, shape technical plans, and define test coverage early
Monitor feature rollouts and production behavior using Firebase, Datadog, crash reporting, analytics, and release health signals
Own production issues from diagnosis through resolution, including root-cause analysis and follow-up prevention work
Drive measurable improvements in build time, delivery throughput, code quality, and engineering efficiency
Provide thoughtful PR reviews, mentor engineers, and help establish patterns that scale across feature teams
Use GenAI tools such as GitHub Copilot or similar assistants to accelerate implementation, refactoring, test generation, debugging, and documentation while retaining full engineering accountability
Validate AI-assisted work through tests, code review, static analysis, observability checks, and secure coding practices before merge
Follow internal AI usage guidance, repository conventions, data-handling expectations, and review standards
