• Serve as a strategic partner in the integration, optimization, and maintenance of Android applications to ensure a high-quality, native-feeling user experience.
• Drive architectural decisions and advocate for best-in-class Android patterns (e.g., modularization, state management, dependency injection with Koin) to improve code health and development velocity.
• Lead complex technical projects from conception through deployment, proposing and implementing core tech improvements.
• Mentor and coach intermediate and junior developers, setting a high bar for engineering excellence and code quality across the team.
• Elevate the team's quality standards by performing rigorous, constructive code reviews and championing extensive unit and UI testing using tools like JUnit, Paparazzi, and Compose UI Test.
