Inventory intelligence is foundational to some of Instacart's most critical products - from search and logistics to enterprise AI solutions for grocers of all sizes. Our team owns the end-to-end data supply chain, spanning ingestion and integration of partner data sources, collection of in-store inventory observations, model development, serving, and product integrations across the Instacart ecosystem. We're a growing team sitting at the intersection of physical retail and cutting-edge technology, working closely with Caper, Inventory Intelligence, and Fulfillment to bring real-time shelf intelligence to life.

This is a net new role on a team that is scaling fast - you'll have real ownership, work on complex and novel technical problems, and see your work directly shape how grocers and shoppers experience Instacart technology in the physical world. About the Job * Design, build, and own Android applications for the Digital Twin Platform, including standalone scanning apps and Android-native experiences supporting Connected Stores initiatives such as Food Storm and Caper Cart integrations. * Serve as a technical leader for Android development on the team, setting architectural direction, establishing best practices, and raising the bar for code quality and engineering craft across a growing platform. * Collaborate closely with cross-functional partners across the Caper, Inventory Intelligence, and Fulfillment teams to deliver Android solutions that support real-time shelf intelligence and in-store data collection at scale. * Operate in a fast-moving, highly ambiguous environment where the roadmap evolves as the store view program grows - you'll need to balance long-term architectural thinking with the ability to ship and iterate quickly. * Contribute to a team that is building something genuinely new - as the Android needs across our organization expand, you'll help define what Android engineering looks like for the Digital Twin Platform and beyond. ## Related Videos - [Kotlin Multiplatform - True power of native code reuse](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/4-kotlin-multiplatform-true-power-of-native-code-reuse) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Alibaba Big Data and Machine Learning Technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/37-alibaba-big-data-and-machine-learning-technology) - [For the Cars and the Curious: Android Drift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/499-for-the-cars-and-the-curious-android-drift) - [Why Kotlin is the better Java and how you can start using it](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/661-why-kotlin-is-the-better-java-and-how-you-can-start-using-it) - [Nest.js - TypeScript in the backend can also be clean](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1033-nest-js-typescript-in-the-backend-can-also-be-clean) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Cross Platform Mobile Development Frameworks to Use in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/404-cross-platform-mobile-development-frameworks-to-use-in-2025) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [A Guide to Choosing the Right Tools for App Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/391-a-guide-to-choosing-the-right-tools-for-app-developers) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated)
