Strong attention to detail, performance awareness, and the ability to work independently are essential.

Technical Skills (Essential)

  • Hands-on experience with at least one of: React Native, Flutter, Swift/SwiftUI (iOS), or Kotlin/Jetpack Compose (Android).
  • Solid understanding of mobile UI patterns, navigation, state management, and platform guidelines.
