Role Purpose

This role exists to be the connective tissue between cross-functional teams, translating complex system trade-offs into clear decisions and embedding AI-assisted development into how we build. This is a role for an engineer who thinks in systems, executes with precision, and communicates with clarity. 

Key Responsibilities

• Champion AI-assisted development across architecture, design, and implementation-driving adoption and establishing the practices that make it last. 

• Define and own best practices for AI-assisted system design, code generation, documentation, and testing. 

• Assess and integrate AI tooling into the development lifecycle with a focus on security, scalability, and long-term maintainability. 

• Assess incoming feature requests and determine technical feasibility within the Kotlin Multiplatform codebase. 

• Own architectural scoping-articulating trade-offs and risks, particularly at the boundary between shared and platform-specific code. 

• Design and document scalable architectures that clearly define module boundaries, data flow, threading models, and dependency injection strategies. 

• Lead KMP technical decision-making, keeping solutions aligned with iOS and Android platform constraints and best practices. 

• Define and execute migration strategies from legacy implementations to shared KMP modules where the tradeoff is justified. 

• Coordinate cross-functional dependencies across firmware, backend, Unity, and QA to maintain system-wide consistency and delivery commitments. 

• Build and maintain a living knowledge base-architecture documentation, system diagrams, and technical specs that teams actually use. 

• Continuously improve developer experience through smarter tooling, build optimization, CI/CD, and modularization. 

• Set and uphold high standards for code quality, testability, and maintainability across shared and platform-specific code. 

Requirements

Role Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field. 

• 8+ years of mobile development experience with deep familiarity across both Android and iOS ecosystems. 

• 3+ years shipping Kotlin Multiplatform in production. 

• Deep command of Clean Architecture, modularization, and separation of concerns in multi-platform systems. 

• Proven experience designing shared domain and data layers with well-defined boundaries between shared logic and platform-specific UI. 

• Strong command of Kotlin Coroutines, Flow (StateFlow, SharedFlow), and cross-platform concurrency models. 

• Hands-on experience with dependency injection (Koin or equivalent) in multi-module environments. 

• Familiarity with Compose Multiplatform and native UI frameworks (SwiftUI/UIKit, Jetpack Compose). 

• Experience architecting networking and data layers in a multiplatform context, including offline-first design, sync strategies, and caching. 

• Strong understanding of KMP-iOS interoperability and the nuances of designing APIs for Swift consumers. 

• Solid experience with Gradle, dependency management, and CI/CD pipelines for multi-platform projects. 

• Experience building device-connected applications (BLE, Wi-Fi, TCP) with a focus on reliability and real-time data handling. 

• Proven ability to translate complex technical decisions into clear specifications that align cross-functional teams. 

• Strong communicator who can cut through complexity and align stakeholders across mobile, backend, firmware, and QA. 

• Substantial hands-on experience with AI-assisted development tools and a track record of integrating them meaningfully into engineering workflows. 

• Sharp judgment when evaluating AI-generated outputs-knowing when to trust, when to verify, and when to rewrite.
