- Run planning sessions and participate in cross-functional discussions across Product, Design, and Engineering
What you bring
- 5+ years of software engineering experience with a background leading a team while remaining hands-on
- Rock solid expertise in Kotlin, Coroutines, Flow, Dagger 2, MVVM, Clean Architecture, and JUnit tests
