Protect member data and design for intermittent connectivity.\nReliability and Performance: Own app startup, responsiveness, media playback, foreground services, background work, real-time calls, and data synchronization. Use crash, performance, and release telemetry to find problems before members encounter them.\nEngineering Excellence: Set expectations for code quality, testing, observability, and maintainability. Strengthen unit, integration, UI, and end-to-end coverage with JUnit, Robolectric, Espresso, and Appium.\nDelivery and Release Quality: Improve Gradle builds, GitHub Actions, Fastlane automation, and Google Play delivery. Help the team ship often without trading away stability.\nTeam Leadership: Lead the Android team through technical planning, project execution, design discussions, pairing, and code review.
