You will leverage your deep expertise in native Android development, modern architecture, and Kotlin to build high-availability features from the ground up. In this role, you are not just a contributor, but a technical leader who will guide design reviews, mentor peers, and influence engineering standards across team boundaries. You will thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative Agile environment where clear communication of technical trade-offs and cross-team coordination are essential to delivering impactful products.

Responsibilities:

• Design, implement, test, release, and support meaningful production features for a large-scale Android application.
• Lead by example through rigorous code and design reviews, driving engineering excellence and modern architectural standards.
• Collaborate cross-functionally within an Agile delivery team to estimate work, coordinate dependencies, and execute release plans.
• Translate complex technical alternatives, risks, and trade-offs into clear terms for diverse stakeholders.
• Oversee and optimize app performance using modern tooling, feature flags, CI/CD pipelines, and robust monitoring practices.

Minimum qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 7 years of professional native Android development experience, including shipping complex applications to production.
• Hands-on experience with Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Android SDK, Android Jetpack libraries, Gradle, REST APIs, and modern Android architecture patterns.
• Experience designing, implementing, testing, releasing, and supporting production Android features in an enterprise-scale application.
• Experience working in Agile delivery teams, including sprint planning, estimation, execution, dependency coordination, and release planning.
• Experience communicating technical decisions, alternatives, risks, and trade-offs to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Experience in technical leadership through code reviews, design reviews, mentoring, engineering standards, or leading delivery across team boundaries.

Preferred qualifications:

• Experience in a SAFe or Agile Release Train environment, including PI planning, dependency tracking, and cross-team release coordination.
• Experience building and maintaining applications in regulated, security-conscious, financial services, or other high-availability environments.
• Production experience utilizing feature flags, staged rollouts, experimentation, kill switches, analytics, crash reporting, logging, and performance monitoring.
• Experience with modular Android applications, CI/CD pipelines, build optimization, release automation, and automated testing frameworks.
• Experience responsibly leveraging AI-assisted engineering tools for code generation, refactoring, testing, debugging, documentation, or design exploration (with appropriate human validation).
