• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including backend engineers, product managers, UX/UI designers, and QA to define and implement features.

• Ensure mobile applications follow security best practices, protect user data, and comply with platform guidelines (App Store and Google Play).

• Write clean, modular, and testable code, and contribute to automated testing and CI/CD pipelines.

• Conduct code reviews, provide mentorship, and uphold high engineering standards.

• Stay up to date with the latest trends in mobile development and mobile cybersecurity.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field.

• 5~8 years of professional experience in mobile application development, with a strong track record on iOS (Swift/Objective-C), Android (Kotlin/Java), or both.

• Hands-on experience with native networking frameworks such as iOS Network Extension and/or Android VpnService; familiarity with VPN protocols such as IPSec or WireGuard is a strong plus.

• Proven experience with App Store and Google Play deployment processes, including provisioning, certificate management, release automation, beta testing (e.g., TestFlight), and platform compliance.

• Experience developing reusable or cross-platform components using technologies like Kotlin Multiplatform, Flutter, or React Native, particularly in security-sensitive environments.

• Strong understanding of mobile security best practices, including data encryption, secure storage, and secure communication protocols.

• Familiarity with core network technologies and protocols such as TCP/IP, DNS, TLS/SSL, and HTTPS within the mobile application context.

• Experience integrating mobile apps with backend APIs and working within distributed system architectures.

• Proficient in debugging, profiling, and optimizing performance for mobile applications on both platforms.

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with experience working in cross-functional and agile development environments.

Preferred Qualifications (optional):

• Familiarity with enterprise mobility solutions, including Mobile Device Management (MDM), Mobile Application Management (MAM), and enterprise app distribution models.

• Hands-on experience with mobile CI/CD pipelines and automated testing tools (e.g., Bitrise, GitHub Actions, Fastlane, Jenkins), as well as mobile testing frameworks like XCTest and Espresso.
