- Debug application crashes, ANRs, unexpected behavior, performance issues, and integration problems.
- Work on Android device security and application security requirements.
- Implement and troubleshoot security-sensitive features such as device validation, emulator/root detection, SIM/device verification, and other security controls.
- Analyze Android logs, stack traces, system behavior, and application behavior to identify root causes.
- Take end-to-end ownership of assigned features and issues from investigation through production resolution.
- Collaborate with backend, QA, product, and engineering teams.
- Evaluate new Android/OS changes and assess application impact.
- Write clean, maintainable, scalable, production-ready code.
- Participate in code reviews and improve development practices.
