8+ years of software engineering experience with a track record of shipping production-quality systems at scale
Hands-on growth engineering experience — funnel optimisation, experiment frameworks, acquisition or referral systems — in a consumer-facing (ToC) product context
Understanding of mobile users: how they behave, what drives retention and conversion, and how mobile-native growth mechanics differ from web
Actively uses AI tools as a core part of your engineering workflow — not just for code generation, but for building repeatable workflows and bridging across stacks
Outspoken and proposal-driven: you come to the table with a point of view, push back when you disagree, and bring data and a counter-proposal rather than just flagging concerns
Strong cross-functional communication — comfortable working with Product Manager, Business Development, and local markets to align on goals and hold the line on engineering quality
Data instincts: you think in funnels, know how to instrument what matters, and use metrics to drive decisions
Mobile development experience in iOS (Swift/Objective-C) or Android (Kotlin/Java) — or backend experience building growth systems that serve mobile apps directly (e.g. growth APIs, attribution pipelines, notification infrastructure)
Experience with Rust or other systems languages — especially candidates who have recently migrated from mobile-native stacks and are building fluency in backend tooling
Depth in mobile attribution and MMPs (AppsFlyer, Adjust, SKAdNetwork)
ASO operational experience (App Store Connect, Google Play Console)
Experience building referral systems, k-factor mechanics, or anti-fraud layers
Background in fintech, crypto, or regulated consumer financial products
Experience operating across US, EEA, and APAC markets
A/B experiment framework ownership at meaningful scale
