Staff Android Engineer

Staff Android Engineer, Lime for Business

Lime is the largest global shared micromobility business, operating in close to 30 countries across five continents. We’re on a mission to build a future where transportation is shared, affordable, and carbon-free. Our electric bikes and scooters have powered more than one billion rides in cities around the world. Named a 2025 Time 100 Most Influential Company, Lime continues to set the pace for shared micromobility globally, spurring a new generation of clean alternatives to car ownership.

Lime for Business, our newest business unit, is dedicated to helping companies around the world reimagine employee transportation. By offering safe, efficient, and eco-friendly mobility solutions, we empower organizations to reduce commute times, enhance employee satisfaction, and advance their sustainability goals. Our tailored programs include solutions for daily business travel, corporate campus mobility, and daily commute initiatives. Lime for Business enables companies to drive positive environmental impact while improving the way their workforce moves every day.

We’re hiring a Staff Android Engineer to help build Lime for Business as an embedded, first-class experience inside the Lime app—an “app within an app” tailored to business users, admins, and company programs.

While Lime for Business is a “greenfield” feature set and UX for Lime, you’ll be successful here if you’ve shipped meaningful features in large, multi-team mobile codebases, can layer new functionality onto existing systems, and know how to navigate the reality of shared ownership: dependencies, legacy patterns, platform constraints, performance, and coordination across multiple stakeholders. Lime for Business isn’t just about “who pays” - we’re enabling a unique set of features and rules that adapt to business needs and unique use cases. We aim to move fast, and your knowledge of how to do that inside a complex, moving environment will be critical to our success!
