• Guide the team across the full mobile application lifecycle, from ideation and design through development, testing, release, and ongoing support.
• Mature Mobile DevSecOps practices, including CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, secure code scanning, and app store release automation.
• Champion modern mobile engineering practices such as component‑based architecture, automated testing, configuration as code, and consistent release processes to improve quality and time to market.
