Mobile Developer Job Description

Role: Mobile Developer (iOS / Android / Cross-platform)

Experience: [13] years

Location: Coffee Brewery, HRBR Layout, Bangalore [ Work location - Restaurant]

Type: Full-time

About the role

We are hiring a Mobile Developer to design, build, and ship production apps for iOS and/or Android. You will own features end-to-end: architecture, UI, API integration, testing, performance, and store releases. You will work with Product, Design, and Backend to deliver a stable, fast, and maintainable mobile experience.

What you will do

• Build and maintain mobile apps using [Swift/SwiftUI | Kotlin/Jetpack Compose | Flutter | React Native]
• Translate product and design specs into production-quality features
• Integrate REST/GraphQL APIs, auth (OAuth2/JWT), push notifications, and analytics
• Apply solid architecture (MVVM / Clean Architecture) and write testable code
• Improve performance: startup time, memory, rendering, battery, and network usage
• Write unit, widget/UI, and integration tests; debug crashes and ANRs/watchdog issues
• Own CI/CD, code signing, TestFlight / Play Internal testing, and store submissions
• Participate in code reviews and raise the teams engineering bar
• Stay current with platform changes (iOS/Android OS, store policies, new SDKs)

Skills requirements

Must-have (table stakes)

Platform & language (pick the primary track)

• Android: Kotlin (preferred), Java for legacy; Android SDK, Jetpack (ViewModel, Navigation, Room, WorkManager), Jetpack Compose
• iOS: Swift (preferred), UIKit + SwiftUI; Xcode, Combine or Swift Concurrency (async/await)
• Cross-platform: Flutter + Dart or React Native + TypeScript (New Architecture: Fabric / TurboModules)

Core engineering

• App architecture: MVVM, Clean Architecture, modularization
• State management relevant to stack (StateFlow / Compose state, Combine, Riverpod/BLoC, Redux/Zustand)
• Networking: REST, JSON, error handling, retries, offline-first patterns
• Local storage: Room / Core Data / SQLite / Hive / SharedPreferences / Keychain-Keystore
• Git (branching, PRs, code review)
• Debugging and profiling (Android Studio Profiler / Instruments)
• Publishing: App Store Connect + TestFlight and/or Google Play Console (AAB, signing, staged rollout)

Quality & process

• Unit + UI testing (JUnit/Espresso/XCTest/Widget tests/Detox/Maestro)
• Agile delivery, tickets, estimates, and release notes
• Basic mobile security: secure storage, certificate pinning awareness, no secrets in the client

Strongly preferred

• CI/CD: GitHub Actions, Bitrise, Fastlane, Codemagic, or Xcode Cloud
• Firebase / equivalent: Crashlytics, Analytics, Remote Config, FCM/APNs, App Distribution
• Deep linking, app links / universal links, and notification handling
• Accessibility and platform UI guidelines (Material / Human Interface Guidelines)
• Performance work: cold start, list virtualization, image caching, network waterfalls
• Observability: Sentry, Crashlytics, Datadog, or similar
• One secondary platform (e.g. Flutter primary + some native Kotlin/Swift)

Nice to have

• On-device ML / AI features (Core ML, ML Kit, on-device inference) or LLM API integration with good UX
• Kotlin Multiplatform or shared business logic
• GraphQL, WebSockets, or real-time features
• Payments / subscriptions (StoreKit 2, Play Billing)
• Maps, camera, BLE, background location (if product needs them)
• Design system work with Figma and pixel-accurate implementation
• Mentoring juniors, tech design docs, and ownership of a module or app
• Published apps you can walk through (architecture, trade-offs, incidents)

Soft skills

• Clear written and spoken communication with Product and Design
• Ownership: ships, measures, and follows through after release
• Judgment: knows when a native module is needed vs when the framework is enough
• Comfort using AI coding tools without skipping fundamentals (architecture, security, testing)

Qualifications

• Bachelors in CS / Engineering or equivalent experience with shipped apps
• [X]+ years building and maintaining production mobile apps
• At least one live app on App Store and/or Play Store that you can discuss
• Strong CS basics: data structures, concurrency, memory, and networking
