• Work on Kotlin Multiplatform modules to share business logic, networking, and data operations across platforms.
• Integrate third-party APIs, libraries, and services to enrich app functionality.
• Collaborate closely with iOS engineers to ensure platform consistency and alignment.
• Adhere to best engineering practices by writing clean, maintainable, and well-documented code following KISS and Separation of Concerns principles.
• Boost Jetpack Compose performance by optimizing recompositions, implementing efficient lazy loading, and reducing app launch times.
• Identify and resolve performance and stability issues effectively.
• Maintain high standards through rigorous code reviews and constructive feedback.
• Partner with product managers and UX/UI designers to translate requirements and designs into intuitive mobile experiences.
• Engage in Agile methodologies, contributing to planning, development, and continuous improvement cycles.
• Stay informed on emerging technologies and support the continuous evolution of mobile engineering practices.

• Competent in Git version control and modern dependency management tools including Gradle Kotlin DSL and Version Catalogs.
• Strong coding capability coupled with moderate algorithmic problem-solving and adherence to clean, maintainable architecture principles.
• Adept at collaborating with cross-functional teams, performing code reviews, and communicating technical details clearly.
• A growth-oriented mindset with openness to exploring Apple ecosystem technologies as needed.

Preferred Attributes

• Hands-on experience with Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP/KMM) or developing native iOS applications.
• Expertise in creating custom graphics and charts (e.g., K-line, curves, pie/bar charts) using Compose Canvas.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted coding tools such as GitHub Copilot or Cursor, with an engineering focus on testing and validating AI-generated code.
• A product-first approach promoting the design of intuitive, user-centric, and high-performance mobile applications.

Recruitment Process
