Responsibilities
• Own the architecture of core native app surfaces in Swift and Kotlin, making the structural decisions that product teams build on as they onboard to native. Make this architecture enforceable: define the module boundaries and responsibilities, visibility rules, and compile-time checks that yield a high quality and scalable codebase by default. • Stay hands-on across the team's codebases, writing and reviewing code at depth rather than directing from a distance. • Lead the agentic code translation workflow, implementing high-quality automated systems for the team's recurring migration work before asking for headcount, and setting what gets automated versus what stays human across the translation pipeline. • Own developer experience for the native codebase, accelerating every engineer who onboards by improving build speeds, local development workflows, and CI/CD reliability, and by defining the architectural patterns and documentation that make native mobile development at Coinbase a world-class experience. • Shape the dual-app agentic synchronization strategy during the transition, prioritizing the highest-impact outcomes and designing the daily agent automations and human review processes that keep native and React Native codebases in sync. • Become a leader throughout the entire mobile community at Coinbase, defining best practices, mentoring L3-L5 mobile engineers across all teams, and fostering connection and support between all mobile engineers.
