You’ll work on complex, multi‑screen, enterprise‑grade Android applications used daily by a large non‑technical user base, with a strong focus on scalability, performance, reliability, and test automation.

As a senior member of the team, you’ll help scope and sequence work, mentor other developers, and ensure we build secure, high‑quality software that helps our customers deliver better home and community care.

• Own end‑to‑end delivery of Android features: from technical design and implementation through to deployment, monitoring, and iteration.
• Provide technical leadership within your squad by participating in and driving code reviews, pairing, technical design discussions, and knowledge‑sharing sessions.
• Mentor at least one other developer, helping them grow their skills in Android development, testing, and software craftsmanship.
• Lead technical innovation in the Android codebase, promoting component reuse, extensibility, maintainability, and scalability.
• Monitor applications in production, proactively identifying, troubleshooting, and resolving issues that impact clients.
• Contribute to the product‑wide technical roadmap, collaborating with other teams to deliver cross‑team initiatives and adopt new technologies responsibly and effectively.
• Partner with Product Owners to clarify requirements, identify gaps, and co‑design features that solve real client problems.
• Plan, implement, and maintain automated tests (including end‑to‑end tests) to ensure high‑quality, reliable releases and to evolve Alaya Care’s testing practices.
• Champion modern Android development practices and tools, helping team members understand core concepts, patterns, and workflows.
• Anticipate technical risks and barriers, communicating them early to management and senior technical leaders and proposing pragmatic solutions.
• Participate in an on‑call rotation in the future (designed to respect your time) to support the reliability of your team’s software.

• 4–6 years of professional software engineering experience, including 4+ years focused on Android development.
• Deep experience building and maintaining complex, enterprise‑level, multi‑screen Android applications supporting a large non‑technical user base.
• Strong hands‑on experience with Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile (KMM) and test automation in a production environment.
• Solid understanding of modern Android development practices, architectures, and design patterns, as well as contemporary industry trends in tooling and best practices.
• Demonstrated ability to make sound technical decisions in ambiguous situations, balancing speed, quality, and long‑term maintainability.
• Experience monitoring and troubleshooting production issues and using observability tools to improve performance and reliability.
• A collaborative mindset with a track record of mentoring or coaching other developers and contributing to a positive, learning‑focused team culture.
• Strong written and spoken English communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical topics to both technical and non‑technical audiences.
• Post‑secondary education in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent demonstrated learning experience.
