About The Role

Mobile devices have reshaped personal computing—the power of a desktop now fits in our pockets. By giving everyone the building blocks to create their own tools, we'll solve more problems wherever we go. A delightful, intuitive mobile experience: that's our guiding light, and we need Android engineers to make it a reality.

What You'll Achieve

• You'll help mobile product teams by developing services, frameworks, and shared UI components. You’ll set the direction for how features should be built on Android.
• We value building high quality apps. You'll improve the performance, reliability, and polish of our Android app.
• You’ll drive developer velocity through improvements to our builds systems, mobile CI/CD, and the release process.

Skills You'll Need To Bring

• Thoughtful problem-solving: For you, problem-solving starts with a clear and accurate understanding of the context. You can decompose tricky problems and work towards a clean solution, by yourself or with teammates. You're comfortable asking for help when you get stuck.
• Ability to ship quality apps at scale: You can work with a team to build and maintain quality Android apps for a large audience. You understand the practices put in place to scale an Android engineering team.
• Not ideological about technology: To you, technologies and programming languages are about tradeoffs. You may be opinionated, but you're not ideological and can learn new technologies as you go.
• Empathetic communication: You communicate nuanced ideas clearly, whether you're explaining technical decisions in writing or brainstorming in real time. In disagreements, you engage thoughtfully with other perspectives and compromise when needed.
• Team player: For you, work isn't a solo endeavor. You enjoy collaborating cross-functionally to accomplish shared goals, and you care about learning, growing, and helping others to do the same.
• You don’t need to be an AI expert, but you’re curious and willing to adopt AI tools to work smarter and deliver better results. Ideally, you are comfortable using tools like Claude Code or Codex.

Nice To Haves

• You're proficient with the technologies we rely on: Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Coroutines, Circuit, and open to occasionally working in Rust or Typescript.
• You've heard of computing pioneers like Ada Lovelace, Douglas Engelbart, Alan Kay, and others—and understand why we're big fans of their work.
• You have interests outside of technology, such as in art, history, or social sciences.
