  • Full-stack proficiency in React/React Native with a solid grasp of Python backend development.
  • Product sense with empathy for users and an eye for what changes can bring a product from good to great.
  • Ownership mentality, thriving with autonomy, taking initiative, and being comfortable with ambiguity.
  • Pragmatic approach to solving complex problems incrementally, enjoying rapid prototyping.
  • Performance-focused mindset with a solid understanding of React performance and client-server performance optimization.
  • Growth mindset, viewing challenges and mistakes as learning opportunities.

Nice to Have

  • Strong track record of driving measurable impact through experimentation and data-driven decision making.
  • Demonstrated success in attracting new users, driving engagement, sustaining long-term retention, and optimizing consumer-facing features.
