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.
