• Solid understanding of application lifecycle, concurrency, permissions, background execution and networking on iOS or Android.
• Ability to design reliable app state that preserves user progress when connections or processes are interrupted.
• Hands-on experience profiling and debugging performance, memory and connectivity on real iOS or Android devices.
• Ability to build clear user interfaces and automated tests for important app workflows.

Nice to have

• Experience with AVFoundation, Core Bluetooth, Camera2/CameraX, MediaCodec, device connectivity APIs, or native C++ integration.
