Android/C++ Engineer - Client Platform

We are seeking a skilled and motivated Android/C++ engineer with a focus on architecture and platform to work on the Synchrotron squad. As our application code base continues to grow, we recognize the need for efficient source code organization and complexity management. Your role will be essential in ensuring developers can work within isolated systems, reducing cognitive load and build complexity. You will be responsible for establishing and maintaining useful building blocks to help developers and systems reason about application state and logic flow.

What You’ll Do

• Join a collaborative and autonomous team of engineers dedicated to improving the mobile app architecture at Spotify
• Implement and maintain isolation strategies for SEM (Software Ecosystem Model) conformance within repositories and across multiple repositories, ensuring that systems are designed to be developed and tested in isolation to improve build performance and reduce interdependencies.
• Enable seamless interoperability between Kotlin/Java and C++ within the Android codebase, leveraging modern language capabilities to enhance software development efficiency and maintainability.
• Utilize established service systems (from platform or in-house solutions) to manage application services and their lifecycles effectively, ensuring that services are robust, scalable, and maintainable.
• Guide the composition of the app by thoughtfully integrating and utilizing features and building blocks sourced from various parts of the organization, with a focus on improving product quality through foundational building blocks.
• Promote sound engineering practices, drive work on technical strategy and roadmaps.

Who You Are

• Proficiency in Android development (using Kotlin and Java) or C++ is required. Having expertise in both is a significant advantage. Candidates should demonstrate strong proficiency in at least one of these areas, along with some experience in the other, and a strong willingness to further deepen their knowledge.
• A great teammate who takes initiative and has the ability to see the bigger picture, especially when it comes to improving developer experience
• Strong understanding of software architecture and design principles
• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail
• Strong communication and collaboration skills to work effectively with cross-functional teams
• Experience with modular codebases and code isolation strategies
• Knowledge of service-oriented architecture and lifecycle management

Where You'll Be

• This role is based in Stockholm
• We offer you the flexibility to work where you work best! There will be some in person meetings, but still allows for flexibility to work from home.
