Android SDK Developer The Role:

We are looking for a Software Development Engineer (Android SDK) to join our Core Payments team at Razorpay. In this role, you will be responsible for developing and scaling our Android SDK , the critical integration point used by thousands of merchants to process payments across multiple geographies .

You will work closely with product and backend engineering teams to design high-performance features, ensuring the SDK remains secure, lightweight, and developer-friendly. This role offers the opportunity to solve complex engineering challenges involved in building financial infrastructure that operates at massive scale.

Roles and Responsibilities:

- SDK Development: Contribute to the development of our native Android SDK, ensuring high availability and seamless payment experiences for a diverse merchant base across a highly fragmented device and OS ecosystem.
- Engineering Excellence: Write clean, maintainable, and modular code. Architect solutions that are resilient across different host app environments, OEM customisations, and Android OS versions.
- Automation: Design and implement robust automation for tests, builds, and performance profiling. If a task is repetitive, you are expected to automate it.
- Instrumentation: Build deep telemetry within the SDK to provide real-time insights into success rates and latency, enabling data-driven product decisions.
- Security:



Implement industry-standard security protocols, including SSL pinning, ProGuard/R8 obfuscation, and runtime integrity/root-detection checks, to protect sensitive transaction data.

Mandatory Qualifications:

- 2+ years of experience in native Android development using Kotlin (working knowledge of Java is expected for legacy interoperability).
- Systems Design: Solid understanding of OOPS principles and architectural patterns (e.g., MVVM, MVI, or Clean Architecture).
- Cross-Platform Knowledge: Practical experience with bridge-based frameworks such as Flutter, React Native, or Cordova .
- Technical Depth: Strong proficiency in Kotlin Coroutines/Flow, Jetpack libraries, Activity/Fragment lifecycles, and both XML Views and Jetpack Compose.
- Debugging: Proficiency in using Android Studio Profiler, LeakCanary, and network inspection tools for memory management, CPU profiling, and network debugging.

Valuable to Have:

- iOS Stack Experience: Familiarity with Swift is highly preferred to help maintain feature parity and align API design across platforms.
- Deployment & Tooling: Knowledge of Gradle build customisation, publishing to Maven Central, and CI/CD tooling (e.g., Fastlane, GitHub Actions) for automated distribution.
- Open Source: Active contributions to GitHub or a portfolio of apps published on the Google Play Store.
