As an Android Software Engineer, you own the Android client experience, how AI feels, behaves, and performs on mobile devices. This is not a thin client role.

• Design UX patterns for AI interactions, including streaming responses, retries, and partial results.
• Optimize performance, memory usage, and responsiveness for AI-heavy flows.
• Implement analytics, logging, and feedback capture to support AI evaluation and iteration.
• Collaborate closely with backend and ML engineers on API contracts and system behavior.
• Ensure app stability, security, and scalability in production environments.
• Stable, smooth, and reliable real-world use android applications.
• Performance is optimized: responsive, low-latency, and efficient on memory and CPU.
• Production issues are detected early, monitored effectively, and resolved with clear root-cause analysis.

• 3+ years of Android development experience using Kotlin.
• Hands‑on experience integrating AI features (e.g. LLM, vision, speech APIs).
• Strong understanding of asynchronous programming (Coroutines, Flow).
• Familiarity with REST or gRPC APIs and structured data formats.
• Strong debugging and performance profiling skills.
• Comfort building in environments with latency, partial failure, and non‑deterministic behavior.
• Experience with MLKit or light on‑device inference.
