Familiarity with Objective-C or similar languages (C++, C, etc).

Experience shipping customer-facing features or products to production at scale

Experience developing under strict privacy and security constraints, including techniques like secure data processing, and/or privacy-by-design principles

Ability to mentor engineers in production-quality coding practices and shipping discipline

BS / MS / PhD in Computer Science OR equivalent degree

5+ Years in software development

Preferred Qualifications

Experience integrating LLMs into applications, including on-device model inference and application-level integration

Experience with AR/computer vision domains (ARKit, RealityKit, or related frameworks)

Systems-level thinking

Cross-functional collaboration experience with AI/ML teams, including driving technical requirements and translating between engineering and research contexts

Experience building internal frameworks and APIs with consideration for potential external developer exposure

Experience working with sensor data processing (camera, microphone, IMU) with security considerations
