  • Analyse mobile app vulnerabilities and propose security solutions.
  • Provide help to customer technical support in case of an escalation.
  • Document all aspects of applications they are responsible for
  • Share technical knowledge and skills throughout the department
  • Proactively suggest changes to the products, processes or internal tools to improve performance, security, operability and reduce costs.
