  • Low-Level Development: Experience with C/C++ and the Android NDK/JNI for high-performance or native component integration
  • Automated Testing Mastery: Hands-on experience creating reliable automated test suites using Unit Testing frameworks (JUnit, Mockk/Mockito) and UI/Integration Testing frameworks (Espresso, Compose Test Framework, UI Automator)
  • Debugging & Troubleshooting: Superior root-cause analysis skills for tackling deep-seated OS, native, or multi-threaded bugs
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related technical discipline
  • 5+ years of Experience building cross-platform native apps (iOS and/or Android) and web applications
