Mobile Engineer

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". **We regret to inform that only shortlisted candidates will be notified. Personal data collected will be used for recruitment purposes**
