• Lead the agentic code translation workflow, implementing high-quality automated systems for the team's recurring migration work before asking for headcount, and setting what gets automated versus what stays human across the translation pipeline
• Own developer experience for the native codebase, accelerating every engineer who onboards by improving build speeds, local development workflows, and CI/CD reliability, and by defining the architectural patterns and documentation that make native mobile development at Coinbase a world-class experience
• Shape the dual-app agentic synchronization strategy during the transition, prioritizing the highest-impact outcomes and designing the daily agent automations and human review processes that keep native and React Native codebases in sync
