• Design, build, and maintain a modular Swift SDK used across all Apple platforms.
• Implement core instrumentation features including crash reporting, hang detection, performance monitoring, and telemetry capture.
• Build resilient data pipelines for offline storage, batching, retries, and efficient delivery under strict mobile runtime constraints.
• Shape SDK architecture and API design, ensuring clarity, stability, and long-term backward compatibility.
• Debug complex platform issues involving threading, memory, lifecycle behavior, and OS/device fragmentation.
• Develop capture services for networking, user interactions, and system events using frameworks like MetricKit.
• Optimize performance across startup time, binary size, memory usage, and thread safety.
• Collaborate with cross-platform SDK teams (React Native, Flutter, Unity) to prevent downstream breaking changes.
• Contribute to OpenTelemetry alignment and upstream standards work.
• Partner with Product and Customer Success to incorporate developer feedback into the SDK roadmap.
