  • Troubleshoot, debug, optimize, and maintain production backend infrastructure (e.g., Node.js, SQL/NoSQL databases, AWS) supporting mobile client ecosystems.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of professional experience building and deploying production-ready iOS and Android applications.
  • Proven track record of published mobile applications on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
  • Solid backend web development background, including experience designing RESTful/GraphQL APIs, managing databases (SQL/MongoDB), and server-side runtimes (e.g., Node.js, Python, or Go).

  • Familiarity with web frontend frameworks (React, TypeScript) to support full-stack web needs when required.
  • Knowledge of web security standards, OAuth, and encrypted data storage on mobile devices.

Skills

  • Strong technical leadership with the ability to take full ownership of projects from concept through release.
  • Exceptional analytical and troubleshooting skills to tackle complex system integrations.
