About the role

In this role, you will

  • Build and ship monetization experiences on Android (e.g., plan selection, purchase flows, subscription management, entitlements, and policy-aware UX patterns).
  • Design and maintain shared Android frameworks and primitives for account, trust, and commerce flows used across OpenAI’s mobile apps (auth/session, entitlements, checkout abstractions, safety gates, etc.).
  • Own complex Android systems end-to-end across UI architecture, networking, local persistence/state, observability, and release processes.
  • Build robust integrations with Android platform and ecosystem components (e.g., Google Play Billing, authentication, device security signals, deep links, push).
  • Optimize performance, reliability, and responsiveness at global scale (startup time, rendering, network resiliency, battery, crash-free sessions).
  • Establish and evolve testing and quality systems (unit/integration/UI tests, CI reliability, automated regression, release validation).
  • Collaborate with Product, Design, Research, backend, and Safety to deliver features that meet OpenAI’s highest standards for safety, privacy, fairness, and policy compliance.
  • Provide technical leadership through architecture reviews, mentoring, and setting engineering standards across the Android foundations surface.

You might thrive in this role if you

  • Have 4+ years of professional software engineering experience with meaningful Android ownership.
  • Have a track record of building and shipping high-quality Android applications in production (especially for reliability- and trust-sensitive flows like identity and payments).
  • Are fluent in Kotlin and comfortable with Android tooling and architecture (Gradle, Android Studio, modern app architecture patterns, Jetpack Compose).
  • Enjoy making pragmatic architectural tradeoffs while keeping systems maintainable, testable, and scalable.
  • Care deeply about performance, security, privacy, and user experience, and you bring a high bar for polish.
  • Thrive in 0→1 environments where systems, architecture, and user experiences must be defined from scratch.
