• Strong practical experience using AI-assisted development tools and workflows to improve engineering quality and productivity.
• Hands-on experience with Jetpack Compose and modern Android UI frameworks.
• Experience designing public SDK APIs, maintaining backward compatibility, managing semantic versioning, and supporting external developers.
• Experience with modularization, large codebases, white-label applications, or multi-application platforms.
