• Collaborate closely with project managers, solution architects, and UI/UX designers to translate business requirements and wireframes into high-quality technical implementations. 

• Establish and champion mobile DevOps practices, including the setup and maintenance of CI/CD pipelines for automated builds, testing, and deployments. 

• Conduct rigorous code reviews to ensure code quality, maintainability, and adherence to security best practices. 

• Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues, bugs, and performance bottlenecks across the application stack. 

• Stay current with the latest industry trends, tools, and technologies in the mobile development space, and evaluate their potential for adoption. 

• Produce and maintain clear, comprehensive technical documentation for all developed applications and integrations. 

Candidate Attributes

• Demonstrate mastery across multiple mobile technology stacks (native and cross-platform) with a strong understanding of mobile architecture patterns (MVVM, MVC, VIPER), data persistence, and asynchronous programming. 

• Possess strong technical leadership qualities with the ability to guide development efforts and make critical architectural decisions. Experience in overseeing the work of other developers or external teams is essential. 

• Exhibit strong capability for systems thinking, with a focus on seamless API integration, data synchronization, and managing dependencies between different software components.

• Thrive in a fast-paced, project-based environment, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and adapt to changing requirements. 

Education and Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field. 

• A minimum of 6 years of professional experience in mobile application development, with a demonstrable portfolio of successfully launched applications on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. 

• Extensive hands-on experience with both native iOS (Swift, Objective-C) and Android (Kotlin, Java) development. 

• Proven, in-depth experience with at least one major cross-platform framework, such as React Native or Flutter. 

• Strong experience in consuming RESTful and GraphQL APIs, and a solid understanding of mobile-to-backend communication patterns. 

• Demonstrable experience with mobile CI/CD pipelines and DevOps tools (e.g., Fastlane, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Bitrise). 

• Proficiency with mobile application performance monitoring, crash reporting, and analytics tools (e.g., Firebase, New Relic, Sentry). 

• Solid understanding of mobile security best practices, including data encryption, secure local storage, and secure network communication. 

• Experience working within an Agile/Scrum development methodology. 

• Experience coordinating with or managing external vendors, partners, or subcontractor development teams is highly desirable.
