• Contribute to architectural decisions and help scale the Android codebase using modern best practices (MVVM, Clean Architecture, etc.).
• Integrate third-party services such as Firebase, payment gateways, and POS systems.
• Drive performance improvements and crash rate reductions through proactive debugging and refactoring.
• Participate in code reviews, mentor junior engineers, and share knowledge across the team.
• Collaborate with the QA team to ensure robust testing and app quality.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of hands-on experience in Android development.
• Deep expertise in Kotlin, Android SDK, and MVVM architecture.
• Proven experience delivering and maintaining high-quality Android apps at scale.
• Strong understanding of RESTful APIs and mobile app performance optimization.
