About The Position

We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to own Android development on one of our cross-platform product pods. You'll be the technical authority for your platform — writing high-quality code, making architectural decisions for your stack, and mentoring 1–2 engineers to maintain quality and velocity. You'll work closely with your Tech Lead and fellow Seniors on the other platforms to deliver cohesive product experiences for millions of Cricut users. This is a hands-on, high-impact IC role with a clear growth path to Tech Lead. We build with AI. Our engineers use tools like Copilot, Codex, and Claude as part of their daily workflow — to accelerate delivery, prototype faster, and spend more time on the work that matters.
