• Optimize application performance, memory usage, and responsiveness.
• Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues to ensure application stability and reliability.
• Stay up to date with Android frameworks, tools, and industry trends.
• Mentor junior developers and support delivery across all project phases, from concept to deployment.

• Minimum 4+ years of professional Android development experience (Mid‑Senior level), or 6+ years with strong consulting exposure (Consultant / Senior Consultant level).
• Strong proficiency in Kotlin and modern Android development practices.
• Hands‑on experience with Jetpack Compose for building native UIs.

• Solid understanding of Material Design principles.
• Experience working in Agile/Scrum environments.

• Experience with Coroutines and Flow.
• Knowledge of Room, Data Store, or other persistence frameworks.
