## Job Description
## What You'll Do
- Design, develop, and sustain high-performance Android applications using **Kotlin**, **Jetpack Compose**, and **Java**.
- Lead architectural modernization and modularization to improve scalability and cross-platform reuse.
- Define and own the entire lifecycle of your systems: feature ideation, API design, instrumentation, deployment (**CI/CD**), live-traffic monitoring, unit/UI/e2e testing, user telemetry & data analysis, experiment design (**A/B tests**), and continuous iteration.
- Influence and evolve our architecture: propose and lead initiatives to decompose monoliths, build shared libraries and frameworks, improve modularization, enable reuse across Android, iOS, and Web; evaluate new Android platform capabilities (e.g., new OS releases, device types, form factors, architectures) and lead their adoption.
- Apply **AI**-driven tools and automation frameworks to speed up development, code analysis, testing, and reliability.
- Leverage intelligent telemetry, analytics, and optimization pipelines to improve app performance and user experience.
- Define observability standards, telemetry pipelines, and fault-tolerance strategies for production-grade systems.
- Partner closely with product, design, backend, and data teams to deliver seamless, high-quality user experiences.
- Drive technical discussions, mentor developers, and influence strategic direction across mobile platforms.

## Who You Are
- A technical leader with the ability to create and lead roadmaps/initiatives that align to high-level business objectives.
- Deep expertise in **Kotlin**, **Jetpack Compose**, and modern concurrency tools such as **Coroutines** and **Flows**.
- Proven track record of architecting modular, maintainable systems that balance speed and reliability.
- Strong background in performance optimization, observability, and system-level debugging.
- Experience using **AI** and automation to improve developer velocity, reliability, or product intelligence.
- A collaborative technical leader who thrives in fast-moving environments and mentors others to excel.
- Passionate about creating elegant, high-performance mobile experiences across Android’s ecosystem.
- You architect for observability, reliability, and production-readiness: you understand instrumentation, **SLOs/SLIs**, fault-tolerance, runbooks, incident triage, scalable telemetry pipelines, and production diagnostics for mobile clients.
- You have been a technical leader (not just an individual contributor): you’ve influenced roadmap decisions, contributed to multi-team initiatives, mentored/led developers, driven culture/process improvements, and interfaced with senior developer/product leadership.
