• Improve application start-up time, rendering performance, memory usage, battery consumption, and crash rates
• Develop reliable offline experiences using local storage, caching, and data synchronisation
• Write modular, testable, and maintainable code using established architectural patterns
• Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, sprint planning, and production troubleshooting
• Monitor application health using crash reporting, analytics, logging, and performance-monitoring tools
• Maintain security standards for user data, API communication, local storage, and application releases
• Support CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, TestFlight distribution, App Store releases, phased rollouts, and production monitoring
