Scored from the posting itself — how clearly the role is described, how much it says about pay and benefits, and how recently it was listed. Not a judgement of Instacart as an employer.

What you need

  • 5+ years of professional Android development experience using Kotlin and/or Java
  • Deep expertise in Android SDK, Jetpack libraries, and modern Android architecture patterns (MVVM, Clean Architecture, etc.)
  • Experience designing and building Android applications from the ground up, including owning architecture decisions end to end
  • Demonstrated ability to work effectively in ambiguous, fast-paced environments where requirements evolve and priorities shift
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, with experience working across cross-functional engineering teams.

Nice to have

  • Experience building Android applications for non-consumer contexts such as enterprise tools, hardware integrations, kiosk applications, or scanning/barcode workflows
  • Familiarity with Connected Stores technology, retail hardware platforms, or embedded Android environments (e.g., Caper Carts or similar smart cart/device ecosystems)
  • Experience with Bluetooth, NFC, camera APIs, or other hardware peripheral integrations on Android devices
  • Background in data-intensive applications, real-time data pipelines, or inventory/logistics systems
  • Comfort contributing to adjacent technical domains (backend services, data engineering) and a desire to grow beyond a purely Android-focused scope over time.

What you get

  • Highly market-competitive compensation and benefits
  • Eligible for a new hire equity grant as well as annual refresh grants

Worth weighing

  • No specific mention of the technology stack beyond Android development
  • The role involves working in a highly ambiguous environment which may require adaptability
  • Remote work is limited to specific provinces in Canada
