• Strong experience in Android development with a deep understanding of the Android SDK.
• Proficiency in Kotlin, including Coroutines for asynchronous programming.
• Hands-on experience with Jetpack Compose for modern UI development.
• Solid understanding of architecture patterns (MVI, Repository pattern, Interactors/Use Cases, ).
• Experience with version control systems (e.g., Git), CI/CD pipelines, and testing frameworks.
• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset.
• Ability to mentor and support other engineers.
• Experience with Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) or interest in cross-platform development.
• Familiarity with dependency injection frameworks (e.g., Hilt or Dagger).
• Experience with performance optimization, accessibility, and analytics.
