• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ship clean, high-performance code.
• Optimize app performance and memory usage, especially in relation to real-time data and UI updates
• Integrate shared libraries and third-party modules, including native and WebView-based components.
• Participate in sprint planning, reviews, retrospectives, and technical design sessions.

Requirements

Must Have

• 4+ years of experience building, maintaining, and shipping Android apps.

• Experience with either:
  • XML track : RxJava, LiveData, XML layouts, MVVM, and willingness to support Jetpack Compose migration.
  • Jetpack Compose track : Deep experience with Compose and Kotlin Flow/StateFlow, with comfort maintaining some XML/RxJava code.
• Strong collaboration skills with a thoughtful, pragmatic approach to technical discussions.
• Familiarity with Git, CI/CD workflows, and Agile development.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Firebase, Firestore, Crashlytics, or Fastlane.
• Exposure to real-time data processing or hardware-integrated Android apps
