Architect - Android
What you will do
Define and evolve the long-term Android architecture strategy, including modularization and migration paths away from legacy stacks
Drive cross-team architectural decisions and write ADRs that align mobile and platform teams on shared patterns
Lead architectural reviews, deep-dive design sessions, and refactoring of high-impact surfaces
Set engineering standards for code quality, testing strategy, and release readiness
Own end-to-end app performance — startup, jank, memory, ANRs, battery.
Champion AI-assisted developer workflows — Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, AI-driven code review and test generation and measure productivity impact.
Identify and lead 2–3 crucial strategic projects per year from problem framing through rollout.
Build the next generation of internal SDKs, design system components, and platform libraries consumed by other Android engineers.
Recruit, mentor, and grow Android engineers; partner on hiring loops and career growth
Perform deep code reviews that raise the technical bar
Represent Android in cross-functional planning and shape the broader mobile roadmap
What you will need
Strong command of Jetpack Compose, state management, and the modern Android UI toolkit
Hands-on experience with the modern Jetpack stack: Hilt, Room, DataStore, WorkManager, Navigation, Paging
Solid understanding of architecture patterns — unidirectional data flow, MVI, clean architecture — and how to make them testable
Proven debugging skills — memory leaks, ANRs, jank, cold-start regressions.
Experience with performance tooling: Macrobenchmark, Baseline Profiles, App Startup, and R8 optimization
Proficiency with modern networking and serialization (Retrofit + OkHttp, kotlinx.serialization or Moshi) and image loading.
Strong grasp of concurrency, structured concurrency with Coroutines, and reactive streams.
Experience with modularization at scale, Gradle build optimization (KSP, configuration cache, build cache), and CI/CD pipelines
Comfort with AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) in day-to-day workflow
Understanding of advanced Android internals — custom Compose layouts, background execution constraints, process lifecycle, security best practices
Strong Git, code review, and collaboration habits
