About the role We’re looking for a visionary

Android Tech Lead

to drive the evolution of our mobile experiences. This isn’t just a hands‑on coding role — it’s a rare opportunity to

set the technical direction, elevate engineering standards , and

mentor the next generation of Android talent

across multiple squads. You’ll lead from the front: shaping scalable architecture, championing Kotlin best practices, and unlocking world‑class performance at startup speed.

If you're passionate about Android innovation, leading with purpose, and building something that matters — let’s talk.

What you'll do

Lead Android architecture strategy across squads; own design and scalability decisions.

Mentor and coach Android engineers, setting high bars for code quality and delivery velocity.

Set coding standards, enforce best practices, and drive improvements in CI/CD pipelines.

Review code, unblock teams, and elevate technical depth across the org.

Represent Android in cross‑squad and cross‑functional discussions with product, design, and backend teams.

Collaborate on Firebase, Compose, and architecture improvements (e.g., modularization, KMM readiness).

Be a hands‑on leader: dive into code when needed and always lead by example.

Qualifications

8+ years of hands‑on Android development experience with deep Kotlin expertise.

Proven track record of leading and delivering large‑scale, high‑performance mobile applications.

Strong command of architectural patterns like MVVM and Clean Architecture.

Expertise in scalable, modular Android codebases and automated CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions).

Solid foundation in system design, app performance tuning, and modern Android development practices.

Proficient with Jetpack Compose, Firebase suite, and automated testing frameworks.

Excellent collaboration skills — able to work cross‑functionally with Product, Design, and Backend teams.

Familiarity with Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile (KMM) for shared codebases across platforms.

Hands‑on experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions or similar tools.

Expertise in modular architecture for testable and scalable Android applications.

Advanced knowledge in performance profiling — including rendering, memory usage, and battery optimization.
