• Excellent estimation, prioritization, and communication skills, with the ability to challenge scope when necessary.

Preferred (Nice to Have)

• Experience releasing and managing mobile apps (Play Console, App Store Connect, TestFlight).
• Exposure to Data/ML pipelines (batch vs. real-time inference, model versioning).
