We’re looking for a visionary Android Tech Lead to drive the evolution of our mobile experiences. This isn’t just a hands‑on coding role — it’s a rare opportunity to set the technical direction, elevate engineering standards
, and mentor the next generation of Android talent across multiple squads. You’ll lead from the front: shaping scalable architecture, championing Kotlin best practices, and unlocking world‑class performance at startup speed.

If you're passionate about Android innovation, leading with purpose, and building something that matters — let’s talk.

• Lead Android architecture strategy across squads; own design and scalability decisions.
• Mentor and coach Android engineers, setting high bars for code quality and delivery velocity.
• Set coding standards, enforce best practices, and drive improvements in CI/CD pipelines.
• Review code, unblock teams, and elevate technical depth across the org.
• Represent Android in cross‑squad and cross‑functional discussions with product, design, and backend teams.
• Collaborate on Firebase, Compose, and architecture improvements (e.g., modularization, KMM readiness).
• Be a hands‑on leader: dive into code when needed and always lead by example.

• 8+ years of hands‑on Android development experience with deep Kotlin expertise.
• Proven track record of leading and delivering large‑scale, high‑performance mobile applications.
• Strong command of architectural patterns like MVVM and Clean Architecture.
• Expertise in scalable, modular Android codebases and automated CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Git Hub Actions).
• Solid foundation in system design, app performance tuning, and modern Android development practices.
• Experience mentoring engineers, conducting impactful code reviews, and uplifting engineering standards.
• Proficient with Jetpack Compose, Firebase suite, and automated testing frameworks.
• Excellent collaboration skills — able to work cross‑functionally with Product, Design, and Backend teams.

• Deep experience with Jetpack Compose to create dynamic, modern UI experiences.
• Strong grasp of Firebase services — Analytics, Crashlytics, Remote Config, and Cloud Messaging.
• Familiarity with Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile (KMM) for shared codebases across platforms.
• Hands‑on experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using Git Hub Actions or similar tools.
• Expertise in modular architecture for testable and scalable Android applications.
• Advanced knowledge in performance profiling — including rendering, memory usage, and battery optimization.
• Background in POS integrations or hospitality tech is a strong plus.
• Experience building offline‑first mobile applications with resilient sync strategies.
• Passion for mentoring and enabling junior engineers through coaching and structured feedback.
