Mobile app developers write smartphone apps for both the Android and iOS platforms, using native Java/ObjectiveC/Swift or hybrid approaches, such as React Native. This role requires knowledge of OOP, mobile application design and a sense of beauty as smartphone app developers often communicate with designers. The ability to use efficient algorithms and data structures is also important as smartphones have limited resources.

Circle each appropriate box and take an average. Generally round down unless you have a compelling reason to round up.
Testing, CI/CD, and Site Reliability
Test coverage unbalanced with high volume of "copy-paste" tests and little thought to comprehensive regression coverage.
Knows how to write strong test cases but major areas of own work consistently missing important test cases.
Can set up test fixtures and mock data.
Unlikely to practice test driven development.
Object Oriented Programming
Knows how to write an object-oriented application but over/under-architectured the data structure
Correctly interprets a class diagram
UX Design and Prototyping
Have a clear understanding of the importance of user-centered design and design thinking
Experience in using standard UX software such as Sketch, OmniGraffle, Axure, InVision, UXPin, Balsamiq, Framer, etc
Could design and deliver wireframes, user stories, user journeys, and mockups optimized for a wide range of devices and interfaces
Could identify design problems and devise solutions
Algorithmic Programming
Understanding of algorithm complexity evaluation and knowledge of operations cost for List, Heap, Tree, and Hash.
Limited understanding of data structures applications, might use an incorrect structure for a given task.
