• Deep understanding of mobile platform capabilities, performance tuning, and secure data handling.
• Ability to balance speed, quality, and compliance in a fast-paced, high-trust environment.
• Strong communication and documentation skills — capable of clearly articulating trade-offs, constraints, and solutions.
