Job Objectives

The Software Engineer (Mobile .NET / MAUI) is responsible for the design, development, enhancement, maintenance and support of ODIN Checkpoint's mobile applications for Android and iOS. The role contributes directly to the stability, scalability, performance and usability of the Checkpoint mobile platform, which operates in demanding industrial and operational environments where offline capability, synchronization reliability and strong backend integration are critical. This role sits within a strong Microsoft / .NET ecosystem. ODIN Checkpoint's web platform is developed in Blazor / .NET and the mobile application is developed using .NET MAUI / C#.

Offline Capability & Synchronization

• Develop, maintain and improve offline-first behaviour, local data storage, sync logic, background data processing, conflict handling and resilience in low-connectivity or intermittent-connectivity environments.

API & Backend Integration

• Integrate the mobile application with backend APIs, authentication services, cloud-based services, file/media services, notifications and supporting infrastructure. Troubleshoot and resolve integration-related issues.

Defect Resolution, Performance & Stability

• Investigate and resolve bugs, crashes, performance bottlenecks, sync issues and production incidents. Assist with root cause analysis and implement sustainable improvements to overall application reliability.
