• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including backend engineers, product managers, UX/UI designers, and QA to define and implement features.

• Ensure mobile applications follow security best practices, protect user data, and comply with platform guidelines (App Store and Google Play).

• Participate in code reviews, team discussions, and design sessions to grow your development and security expertise.

• Stay curious and proactive about the latest trends in mobile development and network security.

• Experience with App Store / Google Play release processes, including signing, provisioning, beta testing (e.g., TestFlight), and publishing.

• Understanding of mobile security best practices, including data encryption, secure storage, and secure communication.

• Practical experience integrating mobile apps with backend APIs and understanding of networking fundamentals like HTTPS, TLS, TCP/IP.

• Proficiency in using development and debugging tools such as Xcode Instruments, Android Profiler, or equivalent for performance optimization.

• Strong collaboration and communication skills, with experience contributing in agile, cross-functional teams.
