• Mobile Architecture & Technical Design
  • Contribute to sound mobile architecture, code quality, reusable component design, maintainability and technical decision‑making that supports long‑term product scalability and supportability.
• 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.
• Cross‑Functional Collaboration
  • Work closely with Product Management, QA Engineers, Web Developers and Backend Developers to refine requirements, estimate work, validate solutions, support testing and improve release outcomes.
• Release Support & Continuous Improvement
  • Participate in release preparation, technical verification, issue resolution and post‑release support. Contribute to engineering standards, technical documentation and continuous platform improvement.
