You review mobile applications before release: how data is stored on the device, how the app communicates with its backend, and whether the client can be modified to reach functionality it should not. You also test the APIs the app depends on, since that is where most exploitable issues are found. Part of the role is advising the mobile teams on which protections are worth their engineering cost.
What you will do
Assess Android and iOS builds before release
Test the API surface behind the app, not just the app
Advise which protections justify their engineering cost

Mobile reverse engineering with Frida or equivalent
