web development will be considered a strong advantage.
The incumbent will contribute to mobile architecture, application performance,
background syncing reliability, offline-first behaviour, defect resolution, new feature
delivery and continuous technical improvement across the platform.
The role requires close collaboration with product, QA, support, web and backend
stakeholders to deliver secure, maintainable and production-ready mobile solutions
aligned to business and customer needs.

Offline Capability & Synchronization
- Develop, maintain and improve offline-first behaviour, local data storage, sync logic, background data processing, conflict handling and resilience in low-connectivity or intermittent-connectivity environments.
API & Backend Integration
- Integrate the mobile application with backend APIs, authentication services, cloud-based services, file/media services, notifications and supporting infrastructure. Troubleshoot and resolve integrationrelated issues.
Defect Resolution, Performance & Stability
- Investigate and resolve bugs, crashes, performance bottlenecks, sync issues and production incidents. Assist with root cause analysis and implement sustainable improvements to overall application reliability.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Work closely with Product Management, QA Engineers, Web Developers and Backend Developers to refine requirements, estimate work, validate solutions, support testing and improve release outcomes.
