• Work with gRPC / Protobuf-based backend APIs (where applicable) and collaborate on end-to-end integrations

Requirements

• Experience contributing to a team codebase with active code reviews and collaborative development practices
• Clear communicator with a product-minded approach and a genuine interest in improving users’ financial experiences (or consumer-facing mobile products)

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience profiling and optimizing UI performance (smooth animations, reducing jank)
• Experience with gRPC and Protocol Buffers for networking
• Published apps on the Google Play Store and experience with release pipelines
• Experience migrating legacy XML/View code to Jetpack Compose
