The Role

We’re looking for a Lead Android Engineer to build Rogo’s Android app from the ground up.

Rogo is not available on Android app yet. You will start with a blank canvas and own the foundational decisions that shape the product for years to come: architecture, technology choices, design patterns, development standards, release processes, observability, and quality. You won’t be maintaining someone else’s decisions or modernizing a legacy codebase. You’ll define what excellent Android engineering looks like at Rogo.

You’ll work directly with product, design, engineering, and customers to translate Rogo’s AI platform into an exceptional native mobile experience. You’ll decide how sophisticated, AI-powered financial workflows should work on Android and then build them.

This is a rare opportunity to create a category-defining application from its first line of code, ship it to demanding professional users, and build the foundation for an Android engineering team around your work.

What You’ll Own
  • Build and launch the first version of Rogo’s native Android application

  • Define the application’s architecture, technical stack, and core engineering patterns

  • Establish the standards for testing, security, performance, observability, releases, and code quality

  • Partner closely with product and design to define how AI-native workflows should work on mobile

  • Own major features end-to-end, from early user research and technical design through launch and iteration

  • Create smooth, stable, and responsive experiences across the Android device ecosystem

  • Integrate Rogo’s AI platform and backend services into an intuitive native experience

  • Develop reusable foundations that allow the application and future Android team to scale

  • Work directly with customers and Customer Success to understand professional workflows and rapidly incorporate feedback

  • Help hire, mentor, and set the technical bar for future Android engineers

What You’ll Need
  • 5+ years of professional Android development experience

  • A track record of building and launching high-quality Android applications

  • Strong command of Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, and the Android SDK

  • Experience making foundational architecture and technology decisions

  • Deep understanding of Android application architecture, lifecycle management, and platform conventions

  • Experience with Kotlin coroutines, Flow, concurrency, threading, and performance optimization

  • Strong product judgment and an instinct for polished, intuitive user experiences

  • Experience designing reusable, testable components and maintainable application architecture

  • High standards for reliability, security, privacy, and production readiness

  • Comfort operating with ambiguity and turning an open-ended opportunity into a shipped product

  • Passion for building delightful AI-powered experiences

Bonus
  • You have built an Android app or major mobile product from zero to one

  • You have been an early mobile engineer at a fast-growing startup

  • Experience with Java, RxJava, Dagger or Hilt, and established Android architecture patterns

  • Experience integrating with backend services through REST APIs, gRPC, WebSockets, or Server-Sent Events

  • Experience with offline functionality, local persistence, background processing, and push notifications

  • Experience deploying Android applications in an enterprise context, including managed Google Play, Microsoft Intune, or mobile-device-management environments

  • Experience building secure applications that handle sensitive enterprise data

  • Background at a design-forward product company such as Notion or Figma

  • Strong interest in AI and how it can reshape professional mobile workflows

Who You Are
  • You thrive in fast-paced environments. You are high-intensity and care a lot about what you do, and you're ecstatic to work at a startup.

  • You are ambitious. You have fun solving problems that others think are impossible.

  • You are curious. You find joy in learning about AI, technology, and finance.

  • You are an owner. You are autonomous, self-directed, and comfortable working with ambiguity.

  • You are collaborative, organized, thoughtful, and kind.

Why Join Rogo?
  • Up and to the right: Rogo has strong product adoption with the world's leading financial institutions, and we are still early. The upside is enormous.

  • Extraordinary team: we take talent density seriously. You'll do the best work of your career alongside some of the sharpest people in AI and finance.

  • A one-of-one problem: bringing AI to the core of how Wall Street works is one of the most ambitious, technically demanding, and consequential problems today. There is nowhere else you can work on it at this scale.

  • Real ownership: You'll own real surface area and watch the world's most sophisticated users rely on your work.

  • Always at the frontier: we work at the edge of what the best models can do and turn it into products people trust. If you're obsessed with AI, this is where it's happening.
