Mobile Android (Kotlin + Java)

Responsibilities:

> Own features end‑to‑end: discovery, technical design, implementation, testing, release, and monitoring.

> Build modern, performant Android apps using Kotlin (and Java where relevant) with Jetpack Compose, Android Jetpack components, and Material Design 3.

> Design and implement scalable app architectures (Clean Architecture, MVVM) with a strong focus on SOLID principles.

> Integrate RESTful APIs (and WebSockets where needed); manage local persistence (SQL) and offline‑first experiences.

> Ensure app performance, reliability, accessibility; instrument analytics and crash reporting (e.g., Firebase).

> Write robust automated tests (unit, integration, and UI with JUnit); maintain high code quality.

> Own the CI/CD pipeline: set up and maintain pipelines (e.g., GitLab CI), Gradle automation, and release automation.

> Manage Google Play Console releases: app signing/keystore management, versioning, internal/alpha/beta/production tracks, staged rollouts.

> Stay up-to-date with the latest trends and best practices in mobile development.

> You engage in concepts like pair and mob programming, code reviews, TDD and BDD. You take those as opportunities to gain and share knowledge.

Skills & Requirements:

> Kotlin (primary) and Java: strong proficiency developing native Android applications.

> Jetpack Compose: knowledge building declarative UIs; state management (State, Flow, ViewModel, Navigation).

> Android Jetpack: Lifecycle, ViewModel, Navigation, Room, WorkManager, Paging; Coroutines and Kotlin Flow for async/reactive programming.

> API Integration: Experience working with APIs to fetch and manipulate data in mobile applications.

> UI/UX Design Principles: Understanding of fundamental UI/UX design principles and the ability to work closely with designers to implement visually appealing and user-friendly interfaces.

> Architecture & SOLID: strong understanding of SOLID principles and modern architecture patterns (Clean Architecture, MVVM).

> Testing and Debugging: Proficiency in debugging and testing mobile applications to ensure performance and quality.

> Git and Version Control: Familiarity with Git and version control systems.
