As an experienced Mobile Application Developer, it’s expected you’ll have points of view on feature development approaches, application security patterns, SDLC tools, automated testing, DevOps and Non-Functional Requirements best practices, and more.

The Mobile Application Developer will ultimately share responsibility for development velocity, engineering standards and integrity, interfacing successfully with other teams on best practices, managing or resolving technical debt, development team culture, plus successfully handing over to BAU teams where required.

Depending on your experience, there may be a requirement to work in one of our IBM Consulting Client Innovation Centers (Delivery Centers), where we deliver deep technical and industry expertise to a wide range of public and private sector clients around the world. Our delivery centers offer our clients locally based skills and technical expertise to drive innovation and adoption of new technology.
