• Experience with reactive programming (RxJava, Kotlin Flow).

• Exposure to Customer Data Platforms (CDPs) such as Segment, Rudderstack, or HighTouch.

• Experience with HIPAA compliance and healthcare applications is a strong plus.

Main responsibilities:

• Design & Development: Architect, build, and maintain high-quality D2C Android applications with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, ensuring performance and scalability.

• Dependency Management: Use Gradle for dependency management and modularization to improve code maintainability.

• App Deployment: Handle end-to-end Google Play Store deployments, including internal/external testing and troubleshooting.

• UI/UX Excellence: Drive the creation of intuitive and visually appealing interfaces, proposing improvements proactively.

• Hardware Integration: Implement features using camera, microphone, and sensor APIs (CameraX, MediaRecorder, SensorManager).

• Messaging Systems: Build real-time chat and push notification systems with Firebase Cloud Messaging or WebSocket.

• API & Authentication: Integrate REST APIs and implement secure authentication (OAuth, Google Sign-In, biometrics).

• AI-Driven Productivity: Leverage AI tools to optimize coding, debugging, and prototyping workflows.

• Collaboration: Contribute to a small, agile team, participating in code reviews, sprint planning, and technical discussions.
