We do this by building and running the world’s best data and AI infrastructure platform so our customers can use deep data insights to improve their business.

You will work at the intersection of Web UI, Mobile, Desktop, shared frontend infrastructure, and enterprise-grade authentication and governance.

What we look for • 8+ years of software engineering experience and a track record of shipping and operating customer-facing products at scale. • Staff-level technical leadership: setting direction across teams, making durable architecture decisions, and driving complex projects from definition through adoption. • A hybrid product background spanning web UI, mobile, desktop, or shared frontend platforms—with the ability to drive across all of them. • Strong experience with JavaScript or TypeScript and modern web frameworks such as React, plus hands-on experience with mobile or desktop application development. • The ability to navigate and improve a dynamic codebase spanning shared web code, React Native or native modules, desktop shells, webviews, backend APIs, and CI/CD. • Experience building secure, reliable products involving authentication, session management, enterprise networking, permissions, sensitive data, and enterprise device/application management such as Mobile Device Management (MDM) and Mobile Application Management (MAM). • A customer-focused, bias-to-action mindset and excellent communication skills. You make pragmatic trade-offs, learn quickly, and collaborate effectively across engineering, product, design, and security. You do not need to be an expert in every framework or operating system. You do need to be comfortable working across layers and keeping interconnected web, mobile, and desktop exper
