• Collaborate cross-functionally with product managers, Quality, Backend, iOS, Web and Senior Android Engineers to deliver and enhance mobile products.

• Troubleshoot bugs and resolve crashes to ensure app stability, high crash-free rates, and a seamless mobile payment experience.

• Document technical decisions and contribute to mobile architecture and technical strategy discussions.

• Knowledge of Agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban) for iterative development and effective teamwork.

• Proven ability to troubleshoot and debug Android-specific issues (e.g., memory leaks, UI rendering glitches), delivering clean, well-documented, and maintainable code. Experience with Android testing frameworks (like JUnit, MockK/Mockito, or Espresso) is a plus.
