We hire engineers, not language specialists: we care that you can reason about systems, pick the right tool for the problem, and ship reliable software across the stack. As a Lead Full Stack Android Engineer, you will drive the technical direction and architecture for the critical product surfaces that bring our marketplace together - campaign management and creation, unified dashboards and reporting, audience and asset tooling, and the APIs that connect demand to supply. You will provide technical leadership across front-end, back-end, and data engineering, steering the unified product architecture at the heart of our FY27 roadmap. The underlying platform requires heavy back-end engineering, low-latency optimization, and sophisticated algorithmic problem-solving to manage massive throughput and real-time marketplace dynamics About the Lead Full Stack Android Engineer: * Architect & Execute: Lead the design, architecture, and execution of high-impact, full-stack features-from responsive web front-ends to scalable back-end services and APIs-that power campaign management, reporting, and marketplace optimization * Technical Strategy: Establish the technical direction across a polyglot stack, ensuring the front end remains lightweight by strategically pushing complex computational logic, data modeling, and heavy algorithmic weight into robust, highly scalable back-end services * System Integration: Drive the design and integration of robust, well-designed APIs that unify DT products into a cohesive ecosystem, breaking down potential silos * Operational Excellence: Take end-to-end accountability for service reliability, defining standards for testing, observability, performance, and on-call rotation while fostering a culture of collective quality * Strategic Collaboration: Partner directly with product leads and key stakeholders to shape the technical roadmap, translate business requirements into architecture, and lead scoping and estimation efforts within your pod * Mentorship & Standards : Champion engineering excellence by mentoring team members, conducting rigorous code reviews, driving automation, and establishing pragmatic architectural best practices ## Related Videos - [Coffee with Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/354-coffee-with-developers) - [Kotlin Multiplatform - True power of native code reuse](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/4-kotlin-multiplatform-true-power-of-native-code-reuse) - [Go with the Flow: Stop the Leaks Before Your Memory's a Waterfall!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100073-go-with-the-flow-stop-the-leaks-before-your-memory-s-a-waterfall) - [MySQL Protocol Features You Should Be Aware Of](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100267-mysql-protocol-features-you-should-be-aware-of) - [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) - [Scoring 2000 Products per Request: Performance Pitfalls in Golang](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2073-scoring-2000-products-per-request-performance-pitfalls-in-golang) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [7 Most Popular Web Developer Jobs in Europe](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/163-7-most-popular-web-developer-jobs-in-europe) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers)
