Focus:
Infrastructure, Performance, and Cross-Platform Architecture.
The Goal:
Build the "engine" that makes MoodMe invisible, fast, and stable everywhere.
The Mission
As the Lead SDK Engineer, you are responsible for the "guts" of MoodMe. You will architect the unified core that allows our AI to run on any device with a camera. Your success is measured by millisecond latency, binary size, and the rock-solid stability of our production libraries.
Key Responsibilities
* Unified Core Architecture: Design and maintain the shared logic (C++/WASM/Rust) that powers our Web, Mobile, and Game Engine offerings.
* Platform Bindings: Build idiomatic wrappers for iOS (Swift), Android (Kotlin), Web (TS), and Game Engines (C#/C++) to ensure our tech feels "native" to every developer.
* Performance Engineering: Lead the charge on GPU acceleration (Metal/Vulkan/WebGL) and threading models to ensure real-time tracking doesn't compromise the host app's performance.
* CI/CD for Libraries: Build the automated pipelines that test and deploy our SDKs across all 5 platforms simultaneously.
Candidate Profile
* A "Low-Level" enthusiast who loves memory management and optimization.
* Extensive experience shipping public-facing libraries or SDKs.
* Deep knowledge of how compilers and hardware-accelerated AI (CoreML/NNAPI) actually work.
Interview Process
A short conversation to confirm role alignment, experience, and motivation, share company context and expectations, and answer high-level questions about the role, process, and compensation.
Technical Interview (45–60 minutes)
A technical conversation focused on depth, engineering judgment, system design thinking, and collaboration style. We focus on how candidates think and communicate — not trivia or puzzles.
Take-Home Assignment
Candidates who advance will complete a short take-home assignment designed to reflect real work in the role. It is clearly scoped and time-boxed (typically 3–4 hours) and reviewed asynchronously.
Follow-Up Interview
In some cases, a follow-up conversation may be scheduled to review the take-home assignment together, go deeper on technical tradeoffs, and address any remaining questions.
