• Apply Test-Driven Development (TDD) practices, with emphasis on unit testing, UI testing, and testable architecture design
• Set up and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, Android build tools, and equivalent iOS tooling
• Integrate and manage third-party libraries and APIs, and develop reusable internal SDKs and frameworks
• Optimize app performance through memory profiling, multithreading management, and performance tuning using tools such as Instruments
• Ensure multi-device compatibility across phones and tablets in portrait and landscape orientations on both platforms
• Coordinate and collaborate with offshore and globally distributed development teams
• Partner with product managers and designers to define architecture and technical specifications
• Create and maintain comprehensive technical documentation for mobile applications and development processes
• Mentor and provide guidance to junior developers, supporting their professional growth
• Participate in Digital Product Management and stakeholder meetings, contributing to project planning and delivery

• 12+ years of native mobile engineering experience, with a strong portfolio of published apps on both iOS and Android
• Proficiency in Kotlin for Android development and Swift for iOS development
• Deep understanding of mobile architecture, design patterns (CLEAN, SOLID, MVVM, MVP), and platform best practices
• Expertise in the Android SDK, Android Studio, iOS SDK, and Xcode
• Strong background in TDD, unit testing, and UI testing
• Experience managing multithreading, memory management, and error handling across mobile platforms
• Hands-on experience with Git and version control tools (e.g., Source Tree)
• Familiarity with CI/CD tooling (Jenkins or equivalent)
• Experience integrating third-party libraries and working with REST APIs and JSON/XML data
• Excellent communication, collaboration, and teamwork skills
