• Ensure no secrets or sensitive values are committed to the repo
• Work with Dockerised backend services deployed on Render

Quality, Stability & UX

• Handle offline/poor-network scenarios gracefully
• Implement proper error boundaries and fallback UI
• Test app behaviour on real devices and emulators
• Participate in code reviews and maintain high code quality standards

Collaboration & Delivery

• Collaborate with React web and Node.js backend developers
• Contribute to planning, estimation, and task breakdowns
• Document setup steps, decisions, and mobile-specific workflows
• Support release preparation and app store readiness

• Experience testing and debugging on Android devices/emulators
• Clean code practices and clear documentation habits

Nice to Have

• Experience publishing apps to Google Play Store and/or Apple App Store
• Familiarity with Expo SecureStore, AsyncStorage, and device APIs
• Experience with React Query / TanStack Query
• Some exposure to React web apps and shared codebases
• Basic understanding of Docker and backend environments
• Experience working in a GitHub-based team workflow
