Mobile App Developer (iOS, Android & Cross-Platform) – Remote

At Pavago, one of our clients is hiring a Mobile App Developer to build, improve, and maintain modern mobile applications across iOS and Android.

This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who enjoys turning product ideas and designs into polished, production-ready mobile experiences.

You'll work across:

• iOS and Android development
• Native and cross-platform applications
• UI/UX implementation
• API and backend integrations
• Performance optimization
• Testing and production releases

You'll collaborate closely with designers, backend engineers, and product teams to ship mobile applications that are fast, reliable, scalable, and enjoyable to use.

Mobile Application Development

• Develop and maintain mobile applications for iOS and Android.
• Build native applications using:
• Swift / Xcode
• Kotlin / Java
• iOS SDK
• Android SDK
• Develop cross-platform applications using:
• React Native
• Flutter
• Write clean, scalable, maintainable, and production-ready code.
• Build new features and continuously improve existing applications.

UI/UX Implementation

• Translate Figma and product designs into polished mobile interfaces.
• Build responsive experiences across:
• Smartphones
• Tablets
• Different screen sizes and resolutions
• Maintain consistency with product design systems and UI standards.
• Collaborate with designers to improve usability and interaction quality.
• Ensure smooth and intuitive mobile experiences.

API Integration & Backend Connectivity

• Integrate applications with:
• REST APIs
• Backend services
• Authentication systems
• Third-party services
• Handle networking, data synchronization, and application state efficiently.
• Troubleshoot integration issues between mobile and backend systems.
• Optimize API communication for speed and reliability.

Performance & Application Stability

• Monitor and improve:
• Application speed
• Responsiveness
• Memory usage
• Battery efficiency
• Overall stability
• Identify and resolve crashes, bugs, and performance bottlenecks.
• Ensure applications perform consistently across supported devices and operating systems.
• Build with scalability and long-term maintainability in mind.

Testing & Quality

• Test features across multiple devices and operating system versions.
• Debug application issues and resolve defects before release.
• Support regression testing and production validation.
• Collaborate with QA and engineering teams to maintain high release quality.

Deployment & Release Management

• Prepare applications for production releases.
• Manage or support:
• Apple App Store submissions
• Google Play Store releases
• Maintain versioning and release workflows.
• Monitor applications after deployment and resolve production issues quickly.

What Makes You a Strong Fit

• Enjoy building mobile products people actually use.
• Care about both engineering quality and user experience.
• Can translate designs into polished, functional interfaces.
• Think about performance, scalability, and maintainability.
• Troubleshoot technical issues independently.
• Communicate effectively with product, design, and backend teams.
• Take ownership from development through production release.

Required Experience & Skills

• 3+ years of mobile application development experience.
• Strong experience with iOS and/or Android development.
• Hands-on knowledge of:
• Swift
• Kotlin / Java
• iOS SDK
• Android SDK
• Experience with cross-platform frameworks such as:
• React Native
• Flutter
• Strong understanding of:
• REST APIs
• Mobile networking
• Authentication
• Application lifecycle
• Familiarity with architecture patterns such as:
• MVVM
• MVC
• MVP
• Strong understanding of mobile UI/UX best practices.
• Experience with Git and collaborative development workflows.
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills.

Nice to Have

• Experience publishing production applications to the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
• Experience with:
• Firebase
• Push notifications
• Mobile analytics
• Authentication systems
• Experience building:
• Offline-first functionality
• Real-time features
• Mobile animations
• Startup or product-company experience.
• Experience improving performance for applications with growing user bases.

What a Typical Day Looks Like

You may start by reviewing current development priorities and debugging an issue reported in production.

Throughout the day, you could:

• Build new mobile features.
• Implement designs into responsive interfaces.
• Integrate APIs and backend services.
• Debug application issues.
• Optimize performance.
• Test functionality across devices.
• Review code and collaborate with other engineers.
• Prepare new builds for production release.

In short: you build and maintain mobile applications that are fast, stable, visually polished, and easy to use.

Key Metrics for Success

• Application stability and crash-free performance.
• Fast and reliable feature delivery.
• Smooth performance across supported devices.
• Successful App Store and Google Play releases.
• Low production defect rates.
• Clean and maintainable code.
• Strong collaboration with product, design, and engineering teams.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Build real mobile products from development through release.
• Exposure to both native and cross-platform development.
• High ownership over application quality and performance.
• Work closely with global product, design, and engineering teams.
• Fully remote with flexible working hours.
• Opportunity to grow into:
• Senior Mobile Engineer
• Lead Mobile Developer
• Mobile Architect
• Engineering Lead
