- Build observability and debugging workflows for crashes, app health, release quality, and user-impacting issues
- Define engineering patterns for native modules, cross-stack communication, hybrid screen ownership, testing, CI/CD, and rollout
- Use modern AI development tools to move faster while maintaining strong engineering quality
Qualifications
- 5+ years of professional Android engineering experience
- Strong hands-on experience with Kotlin, Android SDK, and production Android app development
- Experience building or owning major parts of a consumer-facing Android app
- Strong understanding of Android architecture, app lifecycle, navigation, concurrency, networking, persistence, dependency management, and modularization
- Experience building high-quality mobile UI using Jetpack Compose and/or the traditional Android View system
- Strong product sense and care for mobile user experience, polish, responsiveness, and reliability
- Ability to make independent architecture decisions and clearly explain technical tradeoffs
- Strong ownership mindset and ability to drive work end-to-end in a fast-paced environment
- Comfortable collaborating closely with Product, Design, Backend, Mobile, and Growth teams
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience leading or helping lead a team to build a mobile app from 0 to 1
- Experience working in a startup or high-growth consumer product environment
- Experience with React Native, including native modules, bridges, or hybrid mobile architecture
- Experience integrating Flutter or WebView-based modules into native Android apps
- Experience with Android performance profiling, startup optimization, memory management, UI responsiveness, crash reduction, or app health monitoring
- Experience with mobile observability and analytics tools such as Firebase Crashlytics, Sentry, Datadog, Amplitude, GA4, or similar tools
- Experience with feed-based, social, entertainment, creator, gaming, UGC, marketplace, or other high-engagement consumer products
- Experience with Gradle, CI/CD, staged rollouts, Play Console, app signing, and release automation
- Familiarity with iOS, TypeScript, React Native, Flutter, or web-based interactive content is a plus
- Experience using AI coding tools such as Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, or GitHub Copilot
