• Contribute to SDK architecture, API ergonomics, and backward compatibility
• Design and evolve APIs with a focus on stability, clarity, and long-term compatibility
• Debug complex issues across devices, OS versions, and app environments, including threading, memory, and lifecycle challenges
• Develop and maintain capture services for networking, user interactions, and system events, leveraging frameworks such as MetricKit
• Optimize startup performance, binary size footprint, memory usage, and thread safety
• Coordinate with cross-platform SDK teams (React Native, Flutter, Unity) to ensure native SDK changes do not introduce downstream breaking issues
