  • Strong Kotlin skills (with some Java) and experience with AndroidX libraries/components.
  • Knowledge of modular app architectures, scalable builds, and dependency injection (Hilt/Dagger).
  • Proficiency in Android UI frameworks, delivering smooth and engaging user experiences.
  • Experience with networking (Retrofit/OkHttp), persistence (Room, DataStore), and coroutines.
  • Familiarity with Firebase, Google Play Services, authentication/identity providers, and third-party SDKs.
  • Strong focus on code quality, testing (JUnit, Mockito, Espresso), and delivering performant apps.
