About the Role
This is a senior individual contributor role on a small, product-focused mobile engineering team at a consumer fintech company.

What We're Looking For
2+ years of professional experience building and shipping production Android applications.
Strong Kotlin expertise with hands-on experience using Jetpack Compose and modern app architecture patterns (MVVM or Clean Architecture).
Experience building consumer-facing mobile apps (not exclusively B2B).
Proficiency with backend data formats and APIs common in mobile development, including protobufs, REST, and gRPC.
Experience integrating Firebase services (Authentication, Firestore/Realtime Database, Cloud Messaging).
Solid understanding of Android testing strategies — unit, instrumentation, and UI tests — and experience maintaining CI/CD pipelines for mobile.
Demonstrated mentorship or technical leadership experience guiding junior engineers.
Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills across product, engineering, and business stakeholders.
Familiarity with platform-level Android development and architecture is a plus.
