WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING
Own architectural decisions for Android app modules — Clean Architecture, MVVM, modularization, multi-module builds — and set technical direction.
Work with stakeholders (product owners, project managers) to define, clarify, and challenge requirements where technical constraints or better approaches exist.
Drive API contract discussions with backend and cross-functional teams, ensuring clear, robust, and scalable integration points between app and services.
Lead code reviews and set the technical bar for the Android codebase — enforcing clean architecture, testability, and maintainability standards.
Mentor mid-level and junior engineers through pairing, PR reviews, and structured feedback.
Champion modern security principles and lead their application across the app's architecture.
Contribute to the team's technical roadmap, including tooling, dependency upgrades, and platform migrations.
What you'll need
5+ years developing production Android applications using Kotlin, with a track record of owning features end-to-end.
Expert-level proficiency in Jetpack Compose, with hands-on experience building modern, responsive, and maintainable Android UIs at scale.
Proven experience shipping and maintaining successful Android applications on Google Play.
Deep knowledge of the Android ecosystem, including third-party libraries, and the judgment to evaluate build-vs-buy trade-offs.
Strong grasp of Android UI design patterns and Material Design guidelines, with experience setting UI/UX standards for a team.
Experience integrating mobile apps with backend web services (REST); comfortable driving contract design, not just consuming APIs.
Strong command of Kotlin's functional and asynchronous/coroutine concepts, and asynchronous computing principles more broadly.
Understanding of app performance metrics (startup time, memory, jank/frame rate, ANRs) and resolving performance issues.
