  • Strong Kotlin expertise with demonstrated use of Jetpack Compose and modern architecture patterns (MVVM or Clean Architecture).
  • Experience building consumer-facing mobile applications (not solely B2B).
  • Proficiency with Android testing strategies - unit, instrumentation, and UI tests.
  • Experience integrating Firebase services including Authentication, Firestore/Realtime Database, and Cloud Messaging.
  • Familiarity with backend data formats and APIs used in mobile apps: protobufs, REST, and gRPC.
  • Experience maintaining CI/CD pipelines for mobile app development.
  • Demonstrated mentorship or technical leadership experience guiding junior engineers.
  • Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.
  • Background in fintech, personal finance, or consumer mobile apps is a plus.
