• Build and evolve Android client health and observability foundations (events, traces, dashboards) so teams can improve user experiences.
• 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.
• Practical experience applying AI to engineering workflows with clear, measurable benefit.
• Proven ability to lead cross-functional initiatives and influence technical direction across multiple teams.
