- Partner closely with product, design, and ML teams to prototype and ship novel mobile UX patterns for conversational AI, making complex information feel intuitive, fast, and useful.
- Evolve mobile architecture patterns, state management, and shared engineering standards to support rapid iteration and maintainability at scale.
- Implement strong security, privacy, data handling, and offline-first support to ensure user trust and reliable cross-device experiences.
