• Share knowledge with junior engineers through code reviews, pair programming, and contributing to the teams knowledge base and coding standards.
• Contribute to and maintain CI/CD pipelines to streamline development and release processes.
• Ensure code quality through code reviews, writing unit and integration tests (JUnit, Mockito, Espresso), and enforcing coding standards.
• Optimize applications for performance, usability, and battery efficiency.
• Integrate RESTful APIs and third-party SDKs, ensuring seamless connectivity and data flow.
• Work closely with product managers, designers, and backend engineers to translate product requirements into technical solutions.
• Mentor junior and mid-level developers, providing guidance on architecture, best practices, and professional development.
• Stay up to date with emerging technologies and Android trends, proactively recommending improvements and innovations.
• Participate in agile/scrum ceremonies (daily stand-ups, sprint planning, retrospectives).
