Job Details

Staff Prototyping Engineer, Android

remote type

Office Tech-Flexible

* Exploring nascent, ambiguous interaction and device capability concepts by prototyping directly in code, bringing both technical depth and design craft to ideas before they're fully considered. Turning "what ifs" into something people can feel and react to with tangible experiences in their hand.

* Building a deep, current understanding of iOS platform capabilities (WidgetKit, App Intents, Live Activities, Shortcuts, etc.), rooting solutions in platform-native standards and interaction patterns by default. Knowing when and how to break from them to build something genuinely bespoke.

* Acting as a skill multiplier for the broader design org. Conducting training and documenting agentic prototyping workflows so designers themselves can prototype directly in mobile codebases, not just hand off static specs.

* Creating reusable patterns for interactions and prototyping tooling that raise the craft ceiling for every team working in the iOS app, not just your own projects.

* Partnering with designers and engineers across the org to inject technical and craft expertise wherever it's needed most. Coming to provide direct solutions for various team's current work, or providing creative / technical guidance around native solutions or custom approaches

* Using data and shipped-feature learnings to sharpen judgment about which craft investments matter, and feeding that back into prototyping tools and documentation.

* 8+ years at the intersection of product design and iOS engineering, with deep hands-on fluency in Swift/SwiftUI and Objective-C

* A track record of building real, working prototypes in code to explore ambiguous concepts. Ideally showing how their execution had a direct correlation to impact and customer love

* Deep, current knowledge of iOS platform standards and capabilities (Apple HIG, native frameworks), paired with the judgment to know when a bespoke, non-standard solution is worth building.

* Experience creating tools, documentation, or training that help other designers and engineers level up their own craft, embodying a multiplier mindset over a "my feature" mindset.

* Strong collaboration instincts. Demonstrating both proactive communications, working out in the open, and comfortable being pulled into ambiguous, cross-team problems rather than owning a dedicated backlog.

* Familiarity with (or excitement about) agentic/AI-assisted coding tools, and interest in teaching design teams to use them to prototype directly in production codebases.

* Excellent communication skills and the ability to evangelize new practices and get adoption across a design org, not just ship personal work.
