Senior Android Engineer (Clients Platform)

About The Position

Reddit is a community of communities. It’s built on shared interests, passion, and trust, and is home to the most open and authentic conversations on the internet. Every day, Reddit users submit, vote, and comment on the topics they care most about. With 100,000+ active communities and approximately 121 million daily active unique visitors, Reddit is one of the internet’s largest sources of information. For more information, visit www.redditinc.com. The Apps Platform – Android team sets the technical direction for Android at Reddit. Our customers are Reddit Android developers building delightful user experiences. We provide the libraries, frameworks, observability, and build/CI tooling that other teams use to ship a fast, reliable, world‑class Reddit experience. We focus on three pillars: Client Health (Crashes/ANRs/Performance), Developer Experience (Fast and Safe workflows), and App Architecture (modern and opinionated). As a Senior Android Engineer on the Android Platform team, you will design and evolve an Android platform that lets every Android engineer at Reddit quickly identify and ship better user experiences. You’ll work in a large, multi‑team Android codebase with millions of DAUs, focusing on client health, observability, and developer tooling rather.

Requirements

5+ years building user-facing Android applications in Kotlin and/or Java, including owning substantial features or subsystems end‑to-end.
Experience working in a large Android codebase with a sizable developer community (~100+ engineers or equivalent) and millions of DAUs, where platform decisions affect many teams.
Strong background in Android platform/infrastructure work: shared libraries or frameworks, experiments/logging, navigation, startup/session orchestration, or core networking/caching.
Solid foundations in modern Android architecture: Kotlin coroutines/Flows, DI (e.g., Dagger/Hilt), modularization, and testing (unit, integration, instrumentation).
Hands-on experience with observability tooling (events/traces, metrics, dashboards, alerting) and using data to debug and validate changes.
Ability to collaborate effectively across Android, backend, data, and QE, and to communicate trade‑offs and decisions clearly in writing and in person.
Practical experience applying AI to engineering workflows (code generation, refactoring, static analysis, or CI checks) with clear, measurable benefit.

Responsibilities

Shape Android platform architecture across navigation, networking, storage, experiments, logging, and metrics so product teams can reuse proven patterns instead of reinventing them.
Build and evolve Android client health and observability (events, traces, dashboards) so teams can turn signals into actionable insights to fix and improve the user experience.
Improve Android developer experience by designing tools, workflows, and CI integrations that make it fast and safe to develop, test, and release code.
Define and operationalize guardrails (lint/static analysis, tests, and AI‑assisted reviews) that catch common issues early.
Apply AI thoughtfully to engineering workflows (e.g., code review, static analysis, CI checks) where it clearly improves developer productivity or product quality.
Partner cross‑functionally with Client Platforms peers (iOS/Web), backend, Data, QE, and Product to design end‑to‑end solutions grounded in real user and developer needs.
Mentor and Support Android engineers through design reviews, documentation, and education on platform capabilities, observability, and best practices.
