- 3+ years of API integration experience, building reliable asynchronous flows with loading states, failure handling and retries.
- 2+ years of mobile debugging and testing experience, including diagnosing crashes, performance issues and platform-specific bugs on real devices and testing affected flows.
- Ability to become productive quickly within an existing codebase, clarify development scope and independently own assigned work through review and release.
Nice to Have
