- Lead by example through rigorous code and design reviews, driving engineering excellence and modern architectural standards.
- Collaborate cross-functionally within an Agile delivery team to estimate work, coordinate dependencies, and execute release plans.
- Translate complex technical alternatives, risks, and trade-offs into clear terms for diverse stakeholders.
- Oversee and optimize app performance using modern tooling, feature flags, CI/CD pipelines, and robust monitoring practices.

- Hands-on experience with Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Android SDK, Android Jetpack libraries, Gradle, REST APIs, and modern Android architecture patterns.
- Experience designing, implementing, testing, releasing, and supporting production Android features in an enterprise-scale application.
- Experience working in Agile delivery teams, including sprint planning, estimation, execution, dependency coordination, and release planning.
- Experience communicating technical decisions, alternatives, risks, and trade-offs to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Experience in technical leadership through code reviews, design reviews, mentoring, engineering standards, or leading delivery across team boundaries.
Preferred qualifications: - Experience in a SAFe or Agile Release Train environment, including PI planning, dependency tracking, and cross-team release coordination.
- Experience building and maintaining applications in regulated, security-conscious, financial services, or other high-availability environments.
- Production experience utilizing feature flags, staged rollouts, experimentation, kill switches, analytics, crash reporting, logging, and performance monitoring.
- Experience with modular Android applications, CI/CD pipelines, build optimization, release automation, and automated testing frameworks.
- Experience responsibly leveraging AI-assisted engineering tools for code generation, refactoring, testing, debugging, documentation, or design exploration (with appropriate human validation).
