• 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.

Your Job

• 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.
• Experience with GitLab (repositories, branching strategies, CI/CD pipelines).
• Strong understanding of Android architecture patterns such as MVVM, MVI, and Clean Architecture.
• Experience integrating RESTful APIs, JSON parsing, and networking libraries (e.g., Retrofit).
• Familiarity with unit testing and UI testing frameworks (JUnit, Espresso).
• Solid understanding of Material Design principles.
• Experience working in Agile/Scrum environments.

Nice to Have (Optional)

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