The role:

As a Senior Software Engineer focused on Android applications and UI development, you will design and deliver high‑quality, user‑facing experiences in modern Android apps. You will own complex UI features end‑to‑end, make independent technical decisions, and collaborate closely with design, product, and QA to ship polished releases. This is a hands-on senior individual contributor role, focused on technical ownership.

What we offer:

Work on user‑facing Android applications where craftsmanship, usability, and performance matter.

A collaborative environment that values technical ownership, clean design, and continuous improvement.

Modern engineering workflows, including CI/CD, automation, and code review best practices.

Opportunities for professional growth, mentoring, and technical leadership.

What you will do:

Own the design and implementation of complex Android UI features and user journeys.

Build responsive, accessible, and maintainable UI using modern Android patterns and frameworks.

Partner with designers and product managers to translate requirements into intuitive experiences.

Establish UI architecture foundations (e.g., modularization, MVVM/MVI) and promote consistency across the app.

Improve app performance, stability, and rendering efficiency across a range of devices.

Write and maintain tests (unit/UI/integration) and contribute to CI/CD quality gates.

Mentor engineers through design discussions, code reviews, and best‑practice guidance.
Contribute to nonUI application layers as needed, including data flow, state management, and app level architecture.

What you bring:

Required

Strong professional Android development experience with Kotlin (or Java) and the modern Android SDK.

Proven experience building user‑facing features and UI for production Android applications.

Solid understanding of Android UI frameworks (e.g., Jetpack Compose and/or Views), state management, and navigation.

Experience with app architecture patterns (e.g., MVVM/MVI), modular codebases, and dependency management.

Strong debugging and performance‑profiling skills (UI jank, rendering, memory, startup).

Ability to work independently, make technical trade‑offs, and communicate clearly with cross‑functional partners.

Nice to have

Experience with design systems, theming, and building reusable UI components.

Experience with accessibility and internationalization/localization best practices.

Experience with analytics/telemetry to evaluate user experience and performance.

Experience leading UI refactors or migrations (e.g., legacy Views to Compose).
