The candidate must be technically competent with excellent software development, quantitative reasoning, and communication skills. The candidate should have a good foundation in modern C++ and/or Objective-C/Swift.

To ensure product quality, engineers here also regularly focus on the development and improvement of tooling (including internal iOS applications), continuous integration, and data analysis and visualization.
