Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
6+ years of software engineering experience, including at least 4 years building B2C products and consumer-facing mobile apps shipped to the general public.
Have shipped consumer experiences and be able to explain UX decisions screen by screen.
Have taken at least one consumer app from zero to launch as a founding or early engineer and scaled it after launch.
Have deep expertise in Android/Kotlin or iOS/Swift and working fluency on the other platform, or equivalent cross-platform experience with native modules.
Have experience integrating SDKs into consumer mobile apps.
Have backend experience building APIs and data services on a cloud platform; Python and GCP are preferred.
Have direct experience with App Store and Google Play review, including data-safety declarations and policy rejections.
Demonstrate mastery of AI development tools, such as coding agents and AI-assisted design, testing, and code review, with concrete examples of their use.
Be comfortable shipping early versions, evaluating data, and discontinuing work that does not perform.
Have clear written and verbal communication and judgment to raise risks early.

Architect, build, and ship consumer apps for Android and iOS, along with backend services designed to scale to millions of users.
Own the consumer experience across onboarding, permissions, engagement, and the app’s screens, using funnel data and user feedback to prioritize improvements.
Build permission and consent flows that meet App Store and Google Play policy, in partnership with Legal and Privacy.
Instrument attribution, installation, registration, permission grants, engagement, and retention so funnel drop-offs are measurable.
Own analytics, A/B testing, experiment design, and funnel reporting.
Ship small experiments, measure their results, and manage releases, store submissions, and review responses.
Use AI coding, design, and testing tools as part of the development workflow.
Integrate Placer’s data collection technology and work with R&D and Data Science to route data through the privacy pipeline.
Build controls for device integrity, location spoofing, emulators, and duplicate accounts.
Make technical decisions on stack, architecture, and vendors; own production monitoring, alerting, reliability, and cost.
