## About the Role

Do you have experience in Scalable systems?, * 7+ years of professional Android development experience

 * Proven ownership of Android architecture in production (end-to-end systems, not isolated features)
 * Deep expertise in Kotlin, Android SDKs, app lifecycle, threading & concurrency, memory management, and performance optimization
 * Strong architectural judgment (e.g. MVVM, MVI, Clean Architecture, modularization) with the ability to clearly articulate why an approach fits the product stage
 * Knows when - and when not - to use AI to accelerate development without sacrificing correctness or maintainability
 * Experience leading large-scale initiatives, such as major refactors, framework migrations, modularization efforts, or platform rebuilds
 * Comfortable operating in ambiguity, turning loose product direction into scalable, shippable Android systems
 * Maintains a high bar for code quality, while making pragmatic tradeoffs between speed, safety, and long-term maintainability
 * Ability to influence technical direction across Android, backend, and product teams
 * Experience mentoring other engineers through design reviews, architectural discussions, and high-signal code reviews
 * Strong command of modern Android tooling and patterns, including:
 + Coroutines & Flow
 + Jetpack (ViewModel, Room, WorkManager, Navigation)
 + Jetpack Compose
 + Dependency injection (e.g. Hilt / Dagger)
 + Build tooling & CI (Gradle, modular builds), * You have an entrepreneurial mindset and enjoy the challenge of working in an agile, startup environment
 * You think in systems, not screens
 * Youve seen what happens when codebases scale badly-and know how to prevent it
 * You dont need heavy process to be effective, but you can introduce structure when its actually useful
 * Youre comfortable saying this is the wrong solution and defending that position
 * You communicate clearly with non-iOS engineers, designers, and founders
 * Youve likely worked at early-stage or fast-growing startups (2->10 or 10->100), or operated with equivalent ownership
 * You are self-motivated, proactive, and take pride in writing clean, maintainable code

## Description

* We generally require 2-3 hours of overlap with the Los Angeles time zone
