- Collaborate closely with product and design teams to build components that are maintainable, consistent, and beautiful

- Provide hands-on technical guidance to product teams to deliver on company priorities, including the upcoming brand refresh
- Review code contributions, enforce design system conventions, and mentor engineers on best practices for reusable UI development
- Lead the migration of legacy UIKit-based components to SwiftUI while maintaining system stability
- Proactively identify and address technical debt to uphold a high bar for engineering excellence and codebase health
