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.

• 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.

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.
