  • Experience building consumer-facing mobile apps (not exclusively B2B).
  • Proficiency with backend data formats and APIs common in mobile development, including protobufs, REST, and gRPC.
  • Experience integrating Firebase services (Authentication, Firestore/Realtime Database, Cloud Messaging).
  • Solid understanding of Android testing strategies — unit, instrumentation, and UI tests — and experience maintaining CI/CD pipelines for mobile.
  • Demonstrated mentorship or technical leadership experience guiding junior engineers.
  • Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills across product, engineering, and business stakeholders.
  • Familiarity with platform-level Android development and architecture is a plus.
