About the Role :

As a Senior Android Engineer, you will work end-to-end on user-facing features from translating designs into production code to optimising performance across a wide range of devices and screen sizes. You will help shape the Android side of the platform, contribute to architectural decisions, and coordinate Android engineers across regions.

Your Responsibilities :

- Develop new user-facing features for Android using Kotlin and Java

- Build reusable components and libraries for future use across the platform

- Translate designs and wireframes into high-quality production code

- Optimise components for performance across mobiles, tablets, and connected TVs

- Analyse and simplify complex requirements to ensure efficient implementation; flag potential technical challenges to stakeholders early

- Coordinate the work of Android engineers across regions and contribute to engineering standards and best practice

Requirements :

You produce work that others can build on. You take ownership of features from design to production, and you write code that holds up under real-world device and performance variability. You are credible on architectural decisions because you have made them before and seen them play out.
