• Apply modern Android architecture patterns (e.g., MVVM, MVI) and modular design principles to support team scalability
• Improve developer enablement by enhancing shared Android libraries, frameworks, and build tooling
• Monitor app performance, debug complex issues, and optimize for speed, stability, and battery life
• Write secure, well‑tested code and participate in design and code reviews to maintain engineering excellence
• Document technical decisions, architecture, and design to promote alignment and knowledge sharing

QUALIFICATIONS:

• 2–4 years of professional Android development experience
• Proficiency in Kotlin (and Java when necessary), Android Jetpack libraries, and the Android development ecosystem
• Strong understanding of Android app structure, lifecycle, concurrency (Coroutines), and memory management
• Experience integrating with RESTful APIs and backend services
• Familiarity with modular architecture and scalable design systems (MVVM, MVI)
• Experience using Git and productivity tools like Jira, Confluence, and GitHub
• Exposure to mobile CI/CD workflows, Gradle build configuration, and mobile release processes
