Mobile Engineer

Overview 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. Responsibilities 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 user experience. 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 databases 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.
