You will integrate with backend APIs to deliver key user flows, including authentication, feeds, and user interactions. Your responsibilities will also include improving the app's performance and reliability, addressing startup time, smooth scrolling, memory usage, and ensuring crash-free sessions. You will work closely with product, design, and engineering teams to iterate quickly and make strong trade-offs that enhance user experience. Additionally, you will help prototype and integrate AI-powered features, with the scope of your work depending on the project.
