Responsibilities: 

• Design and build advanced OTT platform applications for the Android ecosystem using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose. 
• Architect clean, scalable, and maintainable codebases using the MVVM design pattern. Integrate and manage media playback features, including video streaming, adaptive bitrate handling (DASH/HLS), and offline viewing. 
• Implement Coroutines for efficient asynchronous operations such as background downloads, API calls, and data processing. 
• Write robust unit tests, UI tests, and performance test cases to ensure a smooth and stable user experience, even under high load. 
• Collaborate closely with UI/UX designers, backend engineers, and product teams to define and deliver high-quality features. 
• Optimize application performance, battery usage, and memory management for a variety of Android devices and screen sizes. 
• Debug and resolve streaming, authentication, or connectivity issues promptly in a production environment. 
• Stay current with the latest Android and media streaming technologies to continuously improve the OTT application experience.

Skills and Requirements: 

• Minimum 3 years of professional experience in Kotlin Android development. Proficient in building UI using Jetpack Compose and managing state effectively. Strong command over Kotlin Coroutines, Flows, and asynchronous programming techniques. 
• In-depth experience implementing MVVM architecture, preferably using libraries like LiveData, ViewModel, StateFlow, etc. 
• Proficient in consuming and managing RESTful APIs and handling JSON/XML data formats. 
• Practical experience working with ExoPlayer or other media streaming libraries. 
• Solid knowledge of Git and collaborative workflows (e.g., GitFlow).
• Strong emphasis on automated testing using tools like JUnit, Espresso, Mockito, and performance benchmarking. 
• Familiar with Dependency Injection frameworks like Hilt or Dagger.
• Experience in Agile/Scrum environments with regular sprints and CI/CD deployment cycles.

Preferred Qualifications: 

• Working knowledge of Jetpack libraries: Navigation, Room, WorkManager, DataStore, etc. 
• Experience integrating Firebase services: Analytics, Crashlytics, Remote Config, FCM. Exposure to CI/CD pipelines for Android using tools such as GitHub Actions, Bitrise, or Jenkins. 
• Familiarity with media DRM, content protection, and user authentication flows. 
• Experience profiling app performance and memory using Android Profiler, LeakCanary, or Systrace. 
• Previous experience in OTT, media, or video streaming apps is highly desirable.
