Understands testing concepts and frameworks and has demonstrable experience coaching other developers on building with a stability and resiliency of the code mindset. Leverages Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment tools (Jenkins, Artifactory, and SonarQube) to continuously and autonomously deliver high-quality applications to guarantee stable and performant experiences. Applies understanding of Android Jetpack and open-source libraries (Retrofit and OkHttp) to build modern, architecturally compliant, and future-ready applications. Uses Coroutines, Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile (KMM), and Jetpack Compose for modern development principles (trunk-based development, feature toggles, and branch by abstraction) to support performant and collaborative engineering teams.

Primary Responsibilities:

• Uses knowledge of the mobile landscape, architectures, trends, and emerging technologies used to develop tools, patterns and reusable components to help the organization create performant, resilient, and robust applications.
• Partners with platform squads and architecture to define mobile engineering standards, best practices, and tooling.
• Proactively aligns architecture, user experience, and security to stay in sync with industry trends.
• Participates in the development of reusable components for the purpose of accelerating other engineers, increasing stability and resiliency of the application, and reducing time-to-market.
• Collaborates with teams through technical coaching and mentoring to help them build architecturally compliant applications.
• Provides mobile thought leadership to advance mobile outcomes and facilitate a mobile-first approach.
• Advocates for the adoption of experiences that solve the needs of digitally minded customers.
• Provides technical coaching for adherence to software engineering best practices, including patterns like Object-Oriented and functional programming, and methodologies like Test-Driven Development.
• Applies modern design patterns (Clean Architecture) to build multi-module applications.

Education and Experience:

Bachelor's degree in Applied Computer Science, Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, Information Systems, or a closely related field (or foreign education equivalent) and five (5) years of experience as a Principal Mobile Developer (or closely related occupation) performing native Android application development in a software engineering domain.

Or, alternatively, Master's degree in Applied Computer Science, Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, Information Systems, or a closely related field (or foreign education equivalent) and three (3) years of experience as a Principal Mobile Developer (or closely related occupation) performing native Android application development in a software engineering domain.

Skills and Knowledge:

Candidate must also possess:

• Demonstrated Expertise ("DE") developing native Android applications using Kotlin and Java; performing UI development with XML and Jetpack Compose; and implementing MVVM architecture for scalable and maintainable codebases, using Android Studio, Gradle, and Jetpack libraries (ViewModel, LiveData, and Navigation).
• DE integrating RESTful APIs and managing data persistence, using Room and Firebase Realtime Database; and integrating secure data handling, offline capabilities, and synchronization strategies, using Retrofit, Gson, and Firebase Authentication.
• DE implementing advanced Android UI/UX features, including RecyclerView, ConstraintLayout, Fragments, animations, and Material Design principles; and adapting layouts for multiple screen sizes and orientations, and optimizing performance for low-resource devices.
• DE building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines for Android applications, using Gradle, GitHub Actions, and Firebase App Distribution; performing automated testing with JUnit and Espresso; and versioning and release management for Google Play Store, using Fastlane and Play Console.
