RESPONSIBILITY

The Mobile Engineer is responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining high-quality, performant, and scalable mobile applications. The role requires expertise in native and cross-platform mobile development, UI/UX best practices, and modern software engineering principles. Engineers must work in an agile, DevOps-driven environment, ensuring high software quality, security, and maintainability.

• Collaborate with Business Analysts (BA) and Product Managers to refine user stories and translate them into technical requirements.

• Work with Quality Assurance (QA) engineers to ensure automated test coverage and proactively fix bugs and defects.

• Partner with DevOps teams to automate build, deployment, and release processes for mobile applications.

• Design, develop, and maintain intuitive, responsive, and accessible mobile applications that provide excellent user experiences.

• Improve software quality through Extreme Programming (XP) practices, including pair programming, code reviews, and unit testing.

• Implement secure coding practices, ensuring protection against mobile security threats such as insecure data storage and API vulnerabilities.

• Optimize mobile performance, battery efficiency, and offline capabilities to enhance user experience.

• Document technical decisions, architectural patterns, and best practices for mobile development.

EXPERIENCE AND SKILLS NEEDED

Technical Skills:

• Degree or Diploma in Computer Science, Computer or Electronics Engineering, Information Technology, or related disciplines.

• Experience with Git and modern branching workflows ( GitFlow, trunk-based development ).

• Proficiency in native mobile development for iOS (Swift, Objective-C) and/or Android (Kotlin, Java).

• Experience with cross-platform development frameworks such as React Native or Flutter.

• Strong understanding of mobile UI/UX principles and platform-specific guidelines (Material Design, Human Interface Guidelines).

• Experience with state management solutions for mobile applications.

• Hands-on experience with mobile build systems and dependency management tools (CocoaPods, Swift Package Manager or Gradle,).

• Experience with frontend web technologies (JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3) for hybrid mobile app development.

• Experience integrating RESTful APIs, GraphQL, and WebSockets for mobile applications.

• Familiarity with mobile database technologies .

• Experience with CI/CD pipelines for mobile applications (Fastlane, Bitrise, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI).

• Understanding of mobile security best practices , including secure data storage, encryption, authentication, and authorization.

• Knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS, Firebase, Google Cloud, Azure) for backend integration.

Software Engineering Practices:

• Experience working in Agile teams (Scrum, Kanban) with strong collaboration skills.

• Knowledge of Extreme Programming (XP) practices such as TDD, pair programming, and continuous refactoring.

• Strong understanding of mobile test automation frameworks (Appium, Espresso, XCUITest, Detox).

• Adherence to software craftsmanship principles, ensuring clean, maintainable, and efficient code.

Bonus Experience (Added Advantage):

• Experience working in an Agile and UX-driven development environment.

• Hands-on experience with progressive web apps (PWAs) and mobile web optimizations.

• Experience integrating mobile applications with authentication mechanisms (OAuth, JWT, OpenID Connect, Biometrics).

• Knowledge of mobile app distribution, App Store/Google Play deployment, and release management.

• Familiarity with edge computing and 5G optimizations for mobile applications.

• Experience with augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR) mobile development ( ARKit, ARCore, Unity ).

Experience with Mapbox SDK or other geospatial tools is "good to have".

Android expertise (Kotlin, Views) is "good to have".
