Требования

• 5+ years of hands-on iOS experience. You have a proven track record of developing user-facing iOS mobile native applications at scale using Swift
• A strategic partner, not just a technologist
• You've steered cross-team projects that solved tangible business problems (like increasing watch time or DAU), rather than just hitting a 'ship' date

• Deeply data-informed and logical

• You can effectively distill complex technical trade-offs for any audience—whether you’re collaborating on a whiteboard with peers or presenting a roadmap review to executive stakeholders
• Media product expertise
• You have hands-on experience optimizing video player performance or building feature-rich products on top of core media playback components (AVFoundation, VideoToolbox)
