About the work A large consumer-facing mobile product is being rebuilt as a native Android application from a clean slate, alongside a parallel native iOS build.
The role You lead the Android side of the program. You own the Android codebase, its architecture within the standards set by the Mobile Architect, and the delivery of the Android application. You are hands-on — this is a lead-by-building role with a small team, not a management position — and you are the technical voice for Android in program-level decisions.
What you will own
The Android application architecture: layer boundaries, module structure, state management and navigation
Technical direction and code review for the Android engineers; mentoring and raising the team's bar
Android delivery: scope, sequencing, estimates, and the honest conversation when a date is at risk
Build health — module structure, build times, dependency hygiene, R8 configuration, Baseline Profiles
Play Console release process: staged rollouts, testing tracks, pre-launch reports, target API compliance




Adaptive layouts across phones, tablets and foldables, which recent platform releases have made mandatory rather than optional
Representing Android constraints and prospects when platform-level decisions are made

Required
8+ years of native Android development, including at least one application you led architecturally from an early stage
Kotlin 2.x with the K2 compiler; deep coroutines and Flow, including structured concurrency and testing asynchronous code
Jetpack Compose in production at scale — not a pilot screen — with a real understanding of recomposition, stability and performance
Navigation 3, or explicit evidence you can move to it quickly from prior Compose navigation work
Google's recommended app architecture: UI, domain and data layers, unidirectional data flow, ViewModel and StateFlow, repository pattern
Hilt (or equivalent DI), Room, DataStore, Retrofit or Ktor with kotlinx.serialization
