Track user behaviour with Firebase Analytics, measuring conversion funnels and using data to drive product improvements

Collaborate with our Android developer to ensure platform parity while taking advantage of iOS-specific capabilities like widgets and Siri shortcuts

Optimise app performance for battery life, memory usage, and startup time - critical during the morning coffee rush

What We're Looking For

Strong experience with Firebase ecosystem (Firestore, Analytics, FCM) for real-time features and user engagement

Proven track record with payment integrations, ideally Stripe, including Apple Pay and subscription management
