Android Developer

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.
