• Participate in code reviews and contribute to architecture and technical discussions.
• Collaborate closely with QA, Backend, Product, and Design teams to deliver stable releases.
• Stay updated with the latest Android technologies, Google Play policies, AI advancements, and development best practices.
• Utilize AI-powered development tools such as Claude, Gemini, Cursor, ChatGPT, or similar to improve development productivity, debugging, documentation, code reviews, refactoring, and technical research.
• Validate, optimize, and review AI-generated code to ensure correctness, performance, security, maintainability, and production readiness.
• Continuously explore emerging AI tools and recommend improvements to the team's engineering workflow.

Technical Requirements

• 2+ years of professional Android development experience.
• Strong proficiency in Kotlin with null-safety, extension functions, Coroutines, Flow, and StateFlow.
• Strong understanding of MVVM architecture and Clean Architecture principles.
• Experience with XML-based UI development using ConstraintLayout.
• Good knowledge of Android SDK components (Activities, Fragments, Services, Broadcast Receivers, and Content Providers).
• Experience integrating REST APIs using Retrofit, OkHttp, and Gson.
• Hands-on experience with Room Database.
• Good understanding of Dependency Injection using Hilt.
• Strong understanding of Android lifecycle and configuration changes.
• Experience handling runtime permissions and background execution limitations.
• Good understanding of Git and version control workflows.
• Experience with Gradle build system, product flavors, and build variants.
• Familiarity with Firebase services such as Crashlytics, Analytics, Remote Config, and FCM.

AI & Modern Development Practices

• Comfortable using AI-powered development tools such as Claude, Gemini, Cursor, ChatGPT, or similar as part of the daily development workflow.
• Ability to write effective prompts for debugging, code generation, technical documentation, architecture discussions, and problem-solving.
• Strong understanding of validating, optimizing, and improving AI-generated code before production implementation.
• Ability to use AI responsibly while maintaining engineering best practices, security, and code quality.

Good to Have

• Experience working on production applications with a large user base.
• Knowledge of application performance optimization and memory management.
• Experience debugging ANRs, crashes, and production issues.
• Understanding of Android security best practices and secure data storage.
• Basic knowledge of unit testing and debugging methodologies.
• Experience integrating AI APIs or LLM-powered features into Android applications.
• Passion for exploring emerging AI technologies and applying them to improve software engineering productivity.

What We're Looking For

• Strong debugging and analytical thinking skills.
• Ability to independently own features from development to release.
• Passion for writing clean, maintainable, and scalable code.
• Strong problem-solving mindset with attention to performance and user experience.
• Willingness to learn new Android technologies, AI tools, and engineering practices.
• Ability to quickly understand existing codebases and contribute effectively.
