- Experience building consumer-facing native applications for Android, with a fluent command of the platform’s native languages and core frameworks.
- Work samples showcasing performant, neatly organized code with clean, well-implemented user interfaces.
- Mastery of modern software development best practices, tools, and workflows.
- Excellent communication skills and a strong ability to present and defend technical and architectural choices persuasively.
- Above-average discipline and personal organization skills.
- Obvious comfort with critique and peer review in the context of an iterative software development process.
- Experience leading and/or mentoring other engineers.
- A demonstrated hunger for personal and professional growth.
- A self-evident love and care for the craft of mobile software development.
