About The Position

The Offers team at EarnIn helps community members (CMs) find ways to save and earn more by sourcing and curating offers that provide real financial value. This full-stack team requires engineers who can work across platforms, including Android, iOS, and backend. The role involves a strong focus on Android development, with the flexibility to contribute to other areas as needed. Engineers are expected to think beyond individual tasks, care about the 'why' behind product development, and use data to inform decisions. The goal is to create a seamless mobile experience that empowers customers to access their money easily. This is a full-time position based in Vancouver, Canada, with a salary range of $199,800 - $244,200, plus equity and benefits. The role is hybrid, requiring two days a week in the Vancouver office.

Requirements

Bachelor's (or higher, e.g., MS or PhD) in Computer Science or a related technical field or equivalent technical experience.
4+ years of industry experience building, shipping, and maintaining mobile applications at scale, with a strong focus on Android.
A product mindset: you care about customer outcomes and business impact, are comfortable with ambiguity, and can take a high-level idea and shape it into a product spec.
Tech lead experience — you've owned projects end-to-end and mentored or guided more junior engineers, raising the quality of the work around you.
Willingness and curiosity to work across stacks — Android-strong, but ready to contribute on iOS or backend rather than staying boxed into one platform.
Very comfortable with AI-native development workflows — using AI coding tools and agents as a core part of how you design, build, and ship.
Genuine interest in personalization, targeting, and messaging — figuring out how to deliver the right offer to the right person at the right moment.
Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills — you can engage product, design, marketing, and data partners as an equal, not just a downstream implementer.
Fluency in Kotlin, with a strong grasp of reactive & functional paradigms (Coroutines/Flow, RxJava).
Proven experience with modern Android app architectures (MVVM, MVI, MVP, Clean Architecture) and Jetpack components.
Deep understanding of Android UI frameworks, including XML layouts and Jetpack Compose.
Hands-on knowledge of software engineering best practices across the full SDLC: coding standards, code reviews, Git workflows, CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and mobile release operations.

Nice To Haves

Experience with mobile analytics and experimentation tooling (e.g., Amplitude, feature flags, A/B testing frameworks) is a strong plus
Familiarity with identity verification, authentication, and authorization protocols.
Familiarity with iOS development or backend development is a significant plus.

Responsibilities

Partner with product and design from problem definition onward, shaping what we build and why, including writing up the spec, not just implementing finished ones.
Build and refine the systems that source, match, and surface offers, deciding which to show, when to show them, and how to frame them, balancing CM value, relevance, and business outcomes.
Work across the stack as needed, owning Android, but contributing to iOS or backend when that's where the problem lives.
Work in an AI-native way, using AI coding tools and agents for cross-stack code generation, spec-driven development, and faster iteration across Android, iOS, and backend.
Translate customer pain points and business goals into technical solutions, and push back when the data suggests a better path.
Run and instrument experiments (A/B tests, targeting logic, funnels, retention) to validate that what we surface actually helps CMs save or earn more, and kill what doesn't.
Design and implement new APIs in collaboration with our backend engineering counterparts to communicate with applications.
Develop a scalable architecture that enables the organization to remain agile as it expands.
Drive decisions on the strategies and methodologies used in app development and testing at EarnIn.
Ship iteratively, prioritizing ruthlessly, scoping MVPs, and balancing speed against quality to get value to CMs faster.
Create Unit and Automation (UI) Tests to ensure new code doesn't break existing features and meets product requirements.
Act as a tech lead, owning outcomes and projects end-to-end, from spec through launch and iteration, while mentoring and partnering with junior engineers to raise the bar across the team.
