• Troubleshoot issues using logs and telemetry tools like Dynatrace and Kibana.
• Support internal platform development with focus on SSO and enterprise-grade security.
• Write clean, testable code using modern Android architecture patterns (MVVM, MVI).
• Contribute to backend logic where mobile and service data structures converge.
• Create technical documentation, including sequence diagrams and data flowcharts.
• Participate in code reviews, design discussions, and CI/CD workflow improvements.
