Manager - Platform Engineering and Scalability

Key Result Areas

• Architect, build, and maintain performant mobile applications on both iOS and Android platforms using ReactJS.
• Ensure the applications are of the highest quality by writing clean, well-documented code and maintaining code/design documentation.
• Work closely with cross-functional teams, including other developers, engineers, and stakeholders, to ensure seamless integration of various layers of the product infrastructure.
• Diagnose and fix bugs and performance bottlenecks to ensure the applications perform smoothly and efficiently.
• Continuously measure, drive, and optimize non-functional aspects such as app size, memory usage, battery usage, storage space, page load time, image load, video playback, and app open time.
• Integrate APIs effectively and ensure modern authorization mechanisms, such as JSON Web Token, are implemented.
• Drive the platform dev-sec-ops strategy by fully automating development, test, code quality and security checks, build, and monitoring processes.
• Monitor application performance and stability.
• Follow CI/CD guidelines to ensure zero-touch build, deploy, and test processes.
• Stay updated with the latest trends and technologies in mobile application development and continuously improve technical skills.
• Innovate and propose changes to improve the application architecture and overall product performance
