- Apply AI thoughtfully to engineering workflows (e.g., code review, static analysis) for improved productivity.
- Mentor and Support Android engineers through design reviews, documentation, and education on platform capabilities.
What we expect from you:
- 8 years of Software development experience with at least 4 years in designing/developing Android applications.
- Experience working in a large codebase serving 100 engineers and millions of DAUs.
- Mastery of modern Android development (Jetpack Compose, Kotlin Coroutines).
- Strong background in Android platform/infrastructure: shared libraries, startup/session orchestration, or core networking/caching.
