• CI/CD & Agile: Proficiency with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Azure DevOps), Gradle optimization, multi-flavor/multi-brand builds, and agile/Scrum workflows (Jira, Confluence).
• Testing & Quality: Skilled in unit, instrumentation, and UI automation testing (JUnit, Espresso), snapshot testing for multi-brand UI consistency, and ensuring high code quality.
• Additional Skills: Knowledge of internationalization/localization, dynamic theming, design systems for multi-brand UX, and strong communication and leadership for cross-functional collaboration.

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds – your unique experiences and perspectives are valuable to us.
