The role
We are looking for a Staff Android Engineer to join our flagship mobile engineering team and help define the future of our Android platform. This is a high-impact, hands-on technical leadership role where you will guide architectural decisions, mentor engineers, and drive the evolution of our mobile capabilities at scale. As a Staff Engineer, you will work closely with engineers, product managers, designers, and cross-platform peers to build and evolve a performant, reliable, and scalable Android experience.
How you will contribute in this role:
- Lead the design, development, and evolution of Android architecture, frameworks, and performance-critical systems across the app.
- Collaborate closely with product, design, and platform leads to define technical strategy and ensure high-quality feature delivery.
- Set coding standards and best practices across Android teams, and guide others through code reviews, architecture discussions, and design documentation.
- Identify cross-cutting concerns and lead platform-wide initiatives (e.g., performance optimization, modularization, observability, or test infrastructure).
- Act as a technical mentor for engineers across levels, helping grow both technical and leadership capabilities within the team.
- Champion high performance, scalability, and maintainability in everything you build, and work proactively to identify and resolve system-level bottlenecks.
- Foster cross-platform and cross-squad collaboration by running design reviews and improving alignment with iOS and backend counterparts.
Who you are
- Professional experience with Android development, with deep proficiency in Kotlin and Jetpack Compose.
- Proven track record of designing scalable mobile architecture and leading complex engineering projects.
- Strong technical leadership experience, including mentorship, cross-functional collaboration, and influencing engineering culture.
- Deep understanding of UI frameworks, offline data strategies, threading, performance profiling, and memory management in Android.
- Experience with test automation, CI/CD integration, and mobile observability practices.
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to simplify complex ideas and bring people along in decisions.
- Strong ownership mindset, comfortable with ambiguity, and driven to solve problems at both the technical and team level.
