Senior Android Developer

Blueprint is a software talent agency that builds and places high-caliber engineers directly into product teams at fast-growing tech companies.

Our engineers are trusted to think, decide, execute—and most importantly—
own outcomes
. Clients come to us when quality, speed, and judgment matter more than headcount.

We operate globally and remotely, with a strong bias toward autonomy and accountability.

We're looking for people who thrive in fast-paced startup environments and take initiative and ownership while working closely with our partners.

• Proven ownership of Android architecture in production (end-to-end systems, not isolated features)
• Deep expertise in Kotlin, Android SDKs, app lifecycle, threading & concurrency, memory management, and performance optimization
• Strong architectural judgment (e.g. MVVM, MVI, Clean Architecture, modularization) with the ability to clearly articulate why an approach fits the product stage
• Knows when — and when not — to use AI to accelerate development without sacrificing correctness or maintainability
• Experience leading large-scale initiatives, such as major refactors, framework migrations, modularization efforts, or platform rebuilds
• Maintains a high bar for code quality, while making pragmatic tradeoffs between speed, safety, and long-term maintainability
• Ability to influence technical direction across Android, backend, and product teams

  • Dependency injection (e.g. Hilt / Dagger)
  • Build tooling & CI (Gradle, modular builds)

• You have an entrepreneurial mindset and enjoy the challenge of working in an agile, startup environment
• You think in systems
  , not screens
• Youve seen what happens when codebases scale badly—and know how to prevent it
• You dont need heavy process to be effective, but you can introduce structure when its actually useful
• Youre comfortable saying this is the wrong solution and defending that position
• You communicate clearly with non-iOS engineers, designers, and founders
• Youve likely worked at early-stage or fast-growing startups (2->10 or 10->100), or operated with equivalent ownership
• You are self-motivated, proactive, and take pride in writing clean, maintainable code

• Our clients are primarily based in the U.S.
• We generally require 2–3 hours of overlap with the Los Angeles time zone
• Most clients are comfortable working with offshore teams and async or round-the-clock schedules
• We hire talented, passionate people from all backgrounds and are committed to maintaining a diverse, thoughtful culture
• We believe in compensating our people well, doing our best work, and prioritizing quality of life

• Love what you do, and do what you love
• High trust, high ownership, low ego
• Minimal meetings, strong async communication
• Everyone is expected to care about the business—not just their function
• Be authentic. Being yourself is a game changer.
