- Ability to diagnose complex performance, reliability, and cross-layer issues across application, OS, hardware, and network boundaries
- Track record of leading technical initiatives through influence across multiple teams
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical tradeoffs to engineering and non-engineering stakeholders
- Experience building POS, hospitality, retail, logistics, payments, or other operationally critical software
- Experience integrating with payment SDKs, device services, Bluetooth/USB peripherals, printers, scanners, or custom Android hardware
- Experience with mobile observability tools such as Grafana, Sentry, Firebase, ELK, or similar platforms
- Experience improving automated testing, CI/CD, release quality, or developer productivity for mobile teams
