## About the Role

roles: Production-ready code and craft that meets the standard of the Slack production codebase. Slack

is an extremely design-driven organization - every hire, engineering included, must have demonstrable

design sensibility and experience working within (or adjacent to) a mature design system.

Preferred candidate backgrounds (all roles): Prior work at companies with a strong, recognized

design language - e.g., Apple, Airbnb, Duolingo, Linear, Figma, Notion, Stripe, Cash App/Block,

Headspace, Robinhood, Vercel. For the voice-agent domain specifically, experience at OpenAI, Charac

ter.ai, Replika, or other conversational/voice UX products is a strong plus, Must-have

 * 6+years Android, expert-level Kotlin (Coroutines and Flow are non-negotiable).

 * Production experience with Jetpack (ViewModel, Room, Navigation, Lifecycle), Jetpack Com

pose strongly preferred, SQLDelight or Room for persistence, and Dagger/Hilt dependency

injection.

 * Strong grasp of MVVM + repository pattern in a large, modularized (Gradle multi-module)

codebase.

 * Audio/voice domain experience: AudioRecord/AudioTrack, Media3/ExoPlayer, audio focus

and session management, real-time/streaming audio, ASR/TTS SDK integration.

 * Shipped and maintained apps at 100K+ MAU minimum; 1M+ MAU strongly preferred -

with crash-free discipline, profiling (Android Studio Profiler, Perfetto), and staged rollout experience

via Play Console.

 * Testing: JUnit, Espresso, MockK/Mockito, Robolectric; Paparazzi/screenshot testing a plus.

 * CI/CD: fastlane, plus Buildkite or GitHub Actions (Bitrise/Codemagic acceptable equiva

lents); Firebase App Distribution / Play internal tracks, feature flags, staged rollouts. Nice-to-have

 * Prior work at a design-forward company (see list above).

 * On-device ML / LLM client experience (ML Kit, TensorFlow Lite, WebRTC, streaming token UIs).

 * Accessibility (TalkBack) at production depth
