Android Engineer, Monetization
Senior Android Engineer builds and owns monetization experiences, shared frameworks for account, payments, and trust flows across OpenAI mobile apps. Requires 4+ years Android experience, Kotlin fluency, and expertise in performance, security, and platform integrations.
About the job
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.
