• Optimize app performance including startup time, navigation, rendering, and memory usage
• Implement mobile-specific features like biometric authentication, push notifications, and deep linking
• Write unit and integration tests using Jest and contract tests using PACT for API integration
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Expo for automated builds and deployments
• Debug and resolve issues across iOS and Android platforms in development and production
• Collaborate with backend engineers on API design and mobile requirements
• Participate in code reviews and contribute to mobile development best practices

• Experience with testing frameworks (Jest or similar) for mobile applications
• Familiarity with mobile deployment and CI/CD (Expo experience is a plus)
• Understanding of mobile security best practices and data handling for sensitive applications
• Strong attention to detail for UI/UX implementation and accessibility
• Ability to debug platform-specific issues on both iOS and Android
