Senior Mobile Developer

Keka Inc.; Vadodara; On-site; INR 1,800,000 - 2,400,000; Full time

Job summary

Keka Inc. is seeking a Senior Mobile Developer to drive production‑quality releases for iOS and Android. You will navigate native and cross‑platform codebases, ensure secure coding practices, and lead end‑to‑end feature delivery from conception through release.

You will own debugging, performance profiling, and real‑world device testing, while collaborating across teams to maintain parity and robust release pipelines. A strong foundation in mobile architectures and security is essential.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional mobile development experience with shipped apps.
• Experience across native Android or iOS and at least one cross‑platform framework.
• Strong fundamentals in data structures, design patterns, and concurrency.
• Solid API integration skills (REST/GraphQL) and offline data handling.
• Security focus per MASVS standards and secure coding practices.
• Release engineering expertise: signing, provisioning, store submissions, and builds.

Responsibilities

• Deliver features end‑to‑end on iOS and Android, from story to release.
• Own issues end‑to‑end: reproduce, root‑cause, fix, verify, no regressions.
• Work across native and cross‑platform codebases with parity in behaviour.
• Write secure, production‑quality code; no secrets in source control.
• Manage release paths: signing, provisioning, builds, store submissions.
• Test on real devices across OS versions and form factors.
• Review peers' code with a security and quality lens.
• Keep boards updated and blockers cleared before development starts.
• Document SDK usage, platform configuration, and release notes.
• Share learnings: defect patterns and better workflows.

Job description

We are seeking a Senior Mobile Developer whose expertise matters more to us than the platform they started on. What we value is depth across the full craft of mobile development: native engineering on both iOS and Android, confident cross-platform work, sharp debugging and root-cause analysis on real devices, secure coding as a habit rather than a checklist, and the engineering judgement to ship production-quality releases to the app stores. Day to day, the work spans feature development, live app support, and work across both native and cross-platform codebases; assignments follow priorities, and a developer with the right skills moves comfortably between them. We hire for breadth and fundamentals over any single framework. We are looking for a developer who has genuinely worked across more than one mobile technology — native Android and native iOS, and at least one hybrid or cross-platform framework — and whose core programming concepts are strong enough to pick up the next one quickly and deliver production-quality, secure code in it.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Deliver features and enabler work end to end on iOS and Android — from story through implementation, testing, and release readiness.
• Own issues end to end — investigate, reproduce on real devices, root-cause, fix, and verify, with no regressions left behind.
• Work across both native and cross-platform codebases as the work requires, keeping behaviour and feature parity consistent between them.
• Write secure, clean, production-quality code — built to the OWASP MASVS (Mobile Application Security Verification Standard), no secrets or keys in source control, scan findings acted on promptly.
• Manage the release path: signing, provisioning, build configuration, store submissions, and reproducible builds across environments.
• Test on real devices across OS versions, screen sizes, and platform behaviours before handing work to QA — simulators and emulators alone are not enough.
• Review peers' code with a quality and security lens across both native and cross-platform codebases; take review feedback constructively.
• Keep work visible and well paced — boards current, blockers raised early, ambiguities cleared before development starts.
• Keep documentation current alongside code — SDK usage, platform configuration, and build and release notes another developer can pick up without chasing you.
• Share what you learn — recurring defect patterns, better workflows, reusable practices — so the whole team improves.

REQUIRED SKILLS

• 5+ years of professional mobile development experience, with production apps shipped to both the App Store and Google Play.
• Hands-on experience across multiple mobile technologies, spanning both native and cross-platform:- Native Android — Kotlin and/or Java, Jetpack Compose and/or Views, Android SDK, Gradle. - Native iOS — Swift and/or Objective-C, UIKit and/or SwiftUI, Xcode. - Hybrid / cross-platform — at least one of Flutter, React Native, NativeScript, Kotlin Multiplatform, .NET MAUI, Ionic/Capacitor, or equivalent.
• Strong core programming fundamentals — data structures, design patterns, concurrency and threading, memory management, app architecture (MVVM, MVI, Clean or similar) — with a demonstrated ability to pick up new languages and frameworks quickly.
• Solid API integration skills — REST and GraphQL, authentication flows, real‑time communication, and handling poor or intermittent connectivity.
• On‑device data and offline‑first experience — local storage (Room, Core Data, SQLite, SQLDelight or similar), caching, background sync, and conflict handling.
• Proven security expertise, held to a recognised standard — the OWASP MASVS (Mobile Application Security Verification Standard) and its MASTG testing guide — across secure storage of tokens and keys, cryptography, authentication flows, transport security, platform interaction, and resilience (obfuscation and tamper protection); plus supply‑chain and third‑party SDK diligence, and acting on SAST and dependency‑scan findings.
• Release engineering competence — code signing, provisioning profiles, keystores, build flavours and schemes, store review processes, and staged rollouts on Google Play and phased releases on the App Store.
• Excellent debugging and root‑cause‑analysis skills on live production apps — crash reporting, profiling, memory and performance analysis, and device‑specific issues. Unit and UI testing on both platforms, authored alongside implementation.
• Experience with Git‑based workflows, peer code review, and CI/CD for mobile builds.
• Strong sense of ownership across both live app maintenance and planned feature delivery
