## Description

Are you a mobile enthusiast who lives for clean code and smooth UI transitions? We are looking for a Software Engineer with 1+ years of professional experience to join our engineering team.

At this stage in your career, you've moved past "Hello World" and are ready to tackle real-world scalability, complex APIs, and the occasional Gradle headache. If you're eager to learn from seniors while making a tangible impact on a product used by thousands, let's talk.

What You'll Do

 * Feature Development: Collaborate with our product and design teams to build and ship high-quality features for our Android application.
 * Code Quality: Write clean, maintainable code in Kotlin (and some legacy Java) while following modern architectural patterns (MVVM/MVI).
 * UI/UX Implementation: Turn Figma designs into pixel-perfect layouts using Jetpack Compose or XML.
 * Bug Squashing: Identify, debug, and fix performance bottlenecks and edge-case crashes.
 * Continuous Learning: Participate in code reviews, contribute to technical documentation, and stay up-to-date with the latest Android Jetpack libraries.
