* Collaborate with a team to define, design, and ship new features
* Help maintain code quality, organization, and automation
* Diagnose and correct product defects found in the mobile products
* Provide status updates on a regular basis to track progress
* Rapidly build prototypes/simulations from mockups that can be directly implemented
* Create clean interfaces and smooth interactions based on UI/UX designs and documentation for a range of devices, including mobile phones and tablets
* Support, maintenance and ongoing development for existing applications and projects
* Unit-test code for robustness, including edge cases, usability, and general reliability
* Continuously discover, evaluate, and implement new technologies to maximize development efficiency

* Experience with JavaScript or Dart (as used in Flutter)
* Experience using libraries and frameworks like Angular, Backbone, Ember, React, Jquery
* Expertise in consuming JSON-based RESTful APIs
* Working knowledge of the general mobile landscape, architectures, trends, and emerging technologies
* Good understanding of the full mobile dev life cycle
* Experience with unit testing, integration testing
* Great eye for detail and strong sense of responsibility
