The Mobile engineer is responsible for designing, developing and maintaining high-quality, performant and scalable mobile applications. The role requires expertise in native and cross-platform mobile development, UI/UX best practices and modern software engineering principles. Engineers must work in an agile, DevOps-driven environment, ensuring high software quality, security and maintainability.

· Collaborate with Business Analysts (BA) and Product Managers to refine user stories and translate them into technical requirements.

· Work with Quality Assurance (QA) engineers to ensure automated test coverage and proactively fix bugs and defects.

· Partner with DevOps teams to automate build, deployment and release processes for mobile applications.

· Design, develop and maintain intuitive, responsive and accessible mobile applications that provide user experience.

· Improve software quality through Extreme Programming (XP) practices, including pair programming, code reviews and unit testing.

· Implement secure coding practices, ensuring protection against mobile security threats such as insecure data storage and API vulnerabilities.

· Optimize mobile performance, battery efficiency and offline capabilities to enhance user experience.

· Document technical decisions, architectural patterns and best practices for mobile development.
