Drive experimentation, server-driven UI architecture, cross-functional collaboration, and mentoring to improve member journeys, performance, and business outcomes like session bookings and retention.

## Job Description

## What You’ll Accomplish

### First 3 months
- Build a deep understanding of the Home domain, member journeys, and how Home connects to core care experiences (sessions, programs, content).
- Partner with product, design, and data to map the current Home funnel, identify key drop-offs, and prioritize experiments.
- Ship meaningful improvements to our existing React Native Home experience, focusing on performance, reliability, and polish.

### First 6 months
- Mentor and pair with engineers on the pod, helping them grow in mobile best practices, code quality, and experimentation mindset.
- Continue to improve our new server-driven UI architecture for Home, collaborating with backend and platform teams to refine APIs, configuration models, and guardrails.
- Deepen and participate in our existing experimentation and measurement framework for Home (e.g., A/B tests, feature flags, event instrumentation) to iterate on layouts, recommendations, and CTAs.

### First year
- Own the long-term technical roadmap for the Home pod’s client architecture, balancing flexibility (through server configuration) with a responsive, native-quality member experience.
- Drive cross-team initiatives to improve the end-to-end journey from Home through sessions and care plans, ensuring the surface reliably delivers business outcomes (session bookings, program engagement, retention).
- Raise engineering standards on the pod (testing, observability, reliability, accessibility, performance) and help scale the team’s impact as the product and membership grow.

## Who You Are
- **Mobile product craftsperson**: Care deeply about core flows and how they feel in a member’s hand, from loading behavior and animations to edge cases and error states.
- **Experimentation-oriented**: Comfortable defining hypotheses, designing experiments, instrumenting funnels, and iterating based on data and qualitative feedback.
- **Server-driven UI experience**: Designed or worked with server-configured experiences and know how to keep them fast, reliable, and intuitive for both members and internal stakeholders.
- **Team mentor and collaborator**: Enjoy leveling up a strong but more junior team through pairing, code reviews, design discussions, and clear written communication.
- **Owner mindset**: Think in terms of systems and business impact, not just tickets—comfortable taking a problem from idea through launch, measurement, and iteration.

## Basic Qualifications
- 4+ years of practical software engineering experience, including building and shipping user-facing applications in production.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or foreign equivalent).
- 2+ years of hands-on React Native experience building mobile applications at scale.

## Preferred Qualifications
- Experience designing and implementing server-driven UI or configuration-driven presentation layers on mobile or other client platforms.
- Track record of running experiments (e.g., A/B tests or multivariate tests) on core product surfaces and using results to drive roadmap decisions.
- Strong proficiency with TypeScript/JavaScript, React Native, and modern mobile development tooling; familiarity with backend services (e.g., Node/TypeScript, GraphQL, or similar) is a plus.
- Experience working on high-traffic, critical-path surfaces (e.g., home screens, discovery/navigation surfaces, or key funnels).
- Demonstrated ability to mentor and grow other engineers through code reviews, design collaboration, and technical guidance.
- Comfort collaborating with product, design, and data/analytics partners to define metrics, interpret results, and refine experiences.
- Experience in healthcare, consumer apps, or other regulated or data-sensitive environments is a plus.

## Compensation & Benefits
- Hybrid role based in San Francisco office (3 days/week in-office).
- Salary: $192,000 - $288,000.
- Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage.
- Gender-affirming care, family and fertility planning support, travel reimbursements.
- 401k with 2% company match.
- Learning and development stipend.
- Discounted company stock via ESPP.
