About The Position

We’re looking for a senior Android engineer who can own complex features end-to-end, raise the technical bar across the team, and thrive where shipping fast and shipping well aren’t trade-offs. You’ll work on a hybrid web/native application used by millions of creative professionals — building the experiences that only native Android can deliver, while collaborating with product, design, and cross-platform engineers.

Requirements

• 6+ years of software development experience, including commercial Android applications.
• Expert proficiency in Kotlin and/or Java, with strong Android UI skills (Jetpack Compose, Media3 a plus).
• Experience with TypeScript or JavaScript in a hybrid web/native stack.
• Strong grasp of architectural patterns (MVC, MVVM, Clean Architecture) and object-oriented programming.
• Proven track record investigating complex, hard-to-reproduce issues in shipping software.
• Experience with multi-threading, mobile memory management, CI/CD, and automated testing frameworks.

Nice To Haves

• iOS development experience — Swift, SwiftUI, or UIKit.
• Familiarity with Lit, MobX, Web Components, and modern browser-based tech stacks.
• Experience working on mobile web apps in resource-constrained environments.
• Published apps on the Google Play Store and/or App Store.
• Background in creative or media-focused applications.

Responsibilities

• Use AI-assisted and agentic coding tools and workflows to accelerate delivery: direct sessions, critically review and validate generated output, and refactor into maintainable, production-quality code — without lowering the bar on correctness or craft.
• Design and implement major user-facing features in Kotlin and TypeScript on our hybrid web/native application stack.
• Help direct the evolution of our overall software architecture.
• Make the mobile app experience sing with features not achievable in the web stack alone.
• Lead code reviews, define quality standards, and drive process improvements across the full app lifecycle.
• Collaborate with product management and design to define the roadmap and assess new technologies.
• Partner with engineers across the organization to understand and address mobile app issues and norms.
