• Debugging & Maintenance: Proactively debug and resolve complex technical issues in production to ensure high app stability and performance

• Engineering Leadership & Advocacy: Proactively identify inefficiencies in our mobile development workflow or tooling (e.g. CI/CD, deployment pipelines) and lead the implementation of solutions.

• You will champion high-quality standards and hold the team accountable for best practices

• Continuous Improvement: Stay up-to-date with industry trends and emerging mobile technologies, bringing fresh ideas to the team to improve our mobile codebase, organisation, and automatisation

• Deep understanding of consuming and integrating with RESTful JSON APIs

• Proficiency with version control systems, particularly Git and GitHub, and modern workflows

• Proactive Problem Solver: A natural tendency to identify internal pain points and the initiative to propose and implement technical or procedural improvements. A proactive, self-motivated attitude with a passion for driving success

• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively as part of a collaborative team or independently, including communicating technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders clearly
