Key Responsibilities
Architecture & Development: Designing cross-platform mobile applications using Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) and Compose Multiplatform, optimizing code sharing across Android and iOS without compromising native performance or UI/UX fidelity.
AI-Driven Productivity & Agentic Engineering: Championing the adoption of AI pair-programming tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot) and agentic workflows to streamline code generation, automated unit testing, refactoring, and technical documentation while enforcing human-in-the-loop validation and security.
System & Device Integration: Optimizing designs by identifying the best technical solutions, including services, architectural choices, and technical details. Emphasis is placed on seamless integration between software applications and smart devices/hardware via IoT protocols (e.g., Bluetooth LE, MQTT).
Agile Collaboration: Applying Scrum methodology (Epics, Features, User Stories, Bugs). Actively participating in Scrum ceremonies and collaborating closely with cross-functional development, UX/UI, and test teams within the Agile unit.
CI/CD & Automation: Implementing and maintaining modern CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions) tailored for multiplatform targets to ensureefficient release management, automated UI/unit testing, and reliable software delivery.
Software Excellence: Ensuring code quality by applying modern architectural patterns (MVI/MVVM, Clean Architecture, Dependency Injection via Koin/Dagger), performing rigorous code reviews, conducting static code analysis, and leveraging static analysis tools (e.g., Detekt, SonarQube).
Security & Compliance: Implementing cybersecurity measures by following the Security Development Lifecycle (SDL), ensuring robust data encryption at rest and in transit, secure storage (Keychain/EncryptedSharedPreferences), and meeting defined security requirements throughout development.
Local & Cloud Data Management: Designing and optimizing local persistence solutions (e.g., Room, SQLDelight) and managing seamless integration with cloud backends and RESTful/GraphQL APIs.
Qualifications for the role:Degree: Bachelor or master’s degree in electronic/computer science engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
