What You?ll Do Own end-to-end delivery of complex Android features?from architecture and design to implementation, testing, and release. Lead technical decisions for app modules (navigation, rewards engine, creator tools, live interactions), ensuring performance, security, and maintainability. Drive modern Android development practices (Kotlin-first, coroutines/Flow, Jetpack, Compose or XML, Hilt/Koin, Room, Retrofit/OkHttp). Partner with Product, Design, and Backend to define requirements, sequence work, and ship iteratively with measurable impact. Optimize app performance (startup time, frame rate, memory, battery), instrument telemetry, and resolve production issues rapidly. Establish quality gates: unit/UI tests, CI/CD pipelines, code reviews, coding standards, and documentation. Mentor and upskill SDE-I/II engineers; propose and lead tech initiatives, spikes, and architecture reviews. Champion app security, data privacy, and compliance for a gamified ecosystem (auth, secure storage, network hardening). Collaborate on platform reliability (feature flags, A/B testing, rollouts, crash-free goals, observability). Must-Have Qualifications 5?8 years of professional Android development with a strong Kotlin foundation (Java familiarity welcome). Deep experience with modern Android tooling: Jetpack libraries (Lifecycle, Navigation, Room, WorkManager), coroutines/Flow, DI (Hilt/Koin), networking (Retrofit/OkHttp), and Gradle. Proven track record of owning complex features or modules in production apps with large user bases. Strong understanding of mobile architecture patterns (MVVM/MVI/Clean Architecture), modularization, and testability (JUnit, Espresso/Compose UI). Performance profiling and optimization skills (Android Studio Profiler, Systrace, memory/leaks, ANR/crash reduction). Experience integrating RESTful APIs, WebSockets, and handling offline-first/data sync scenarios. Solid Git practices, code review rigor, and CI/CD exposure (Bitrise/GitHub Actions/Jenkins/Firebase App Distribution). Excellent collaboration and communication, with an ability to translate product goals into robust technical plans. Nice-to-Have Jetpack Compose in production, and migration strategies from XML. Analytics and experimentation frameworks (Firebase, Amplitude, Segment) and A/B testing. Feature flagging and remote config (Firebase/LaunchDarkly). Experience with media/live features, real-time interactions, or creator-centric tools. Security hardening (ProGuard/R8, obfuscation, certificate pinning, secure storage). Play Store release management, staged rollouts, app signing, and store compliance. Exposure to scalable backend contracts and GraphQL/gRPC. Passion for gaming, creator economy, or social/e-commerce mobile patterns. Success in 90 Days Ship at least one high-impact module (e.g., rewards redemption, live leaderboard, creator portal) with clear metrics (e.g., crash-free sessions >99.5%, startup time <1.5s, ANR rate <0.1%). Reduce a key technical debt area (modularization, build times, flaky tests). Establish or refine quality gates (coverage targets, lint rules, performance budgets). What We Offer Impact and ownership: Shape a high-growth consumer product with rapid release cycles. Strong peers: Work closely with senior engineers, product managers, and designers who care about craft. Learning and growth: Dedicated time for spikes, tech talks, and architecture reviews. Culture: High-energy, collaborative, and bias-to-action. We move fast, responsibly. Compensation Competitive salary (benchmark for SDE-III in Bangalore; final range commensurate with experience) plus performance-based incentives. Standard benefits and perks.
