Experienced Android Developer Needed for Mobile App Development

We are looking for a skilled Android Developer to develop, optimize, and deliver a high-quality mobile application built using modern Android development principles. The ideal candidate must be proficient in Kotlin/Java, Android Studio, Jetpack libraries, Material Design standards, API integration, Firebase services, and performance tuning.

You will be responsible for building clean and responsive mobile screens, implementing features, integrating APIs, managing local storage, optimizing performance, and ensuring strong security practices. This project requires experience with MVVM, ViewModel, LiveData/StateFlow, navigation components, background tasks, and error handling.

You will collaborate with our backend and design teams to translate UI/UX designs into functional Android interfaces. Responsibilities will also include integrating Firebase Authentication, Firestore/Realtime Database, push notifications, analytics, and in-app features. Knowledge of Retrofit, Room Database, Coroutines, and dependency injection (Hilt/Dagger) is essential.

Strong debugging, problem-solving, and version control experience are required. You will test the app across multiple device sizes, address crash logs, and enhance app lifecycle handling. A deep understanding of threading, memory management, and secure data handling is important for this project.

If you are passionate about building smooth, elegant, high-performance Android applications and can deliver clean, maintainable code within set timelines, we would love to collaborate with you.
