Role Summary

We are looking for a hands-on Senior Android Engineer for a large-scale Android application with complex workflows and runtime dependencies.

This role requires strong practical engineering experience in local persistence, background execution, synchronization, and real-world Android runtime behavior. Strong hands-on coding and problem-solving ability is required.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain production-grade Android application features.
• Work effectively within a large existing Android application.
• Own feature development from design through implementation and release readiness.
• Contribute to design decisions involving local persistence, offline behavior, sync/retry, background execution, and runtime stability.
• Implement changes incrementally without disrupting critical application behavior.
• Build maintainable solutions using appropriate Android architecture patterns.
• Integrate backend APIs and manage local persistence and synchronization behavior.
• Investigate and fix production issues involving lifecycle, concurrency, memory, local DB, background services, and restart/recovery scenarios.
• Participate in code reviews, refactoring, documentation, and design discussions.
• Collaborate closely with architects, QA, backend teams, BA, and delivery stakeholders.

Required Skills & Experience

• 7+ years of strong hands-on Android application development experience.
• Strong proficiency in Kotlin and solid Android SDK fundamentals.
• Strong experience working in large Android codebases.
• Practical experience with Android architecture patterns such as MVVM, MVI, or Clean Architecture.
• Strong hands-on experience with local persistence, API integration, background execution, lifecycle-aware components, concurrency, and state handling.
• Practical experience with offline-capable behavior, sync/retry flows, partial failure recovery, and local data consistency.
• Strong debugging ability for production issues involving logs, crashes, memory, performance, local DB, sync, and runtime behavior.
• Experience improving code quality through refactoring, reviews, and maintainability-focused changes.
• Strong practical experience with modern Android development practices and current Android SDK behavior.
• Ability to work independently and take ownership of delivery-critical tasks.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with tablet-based Android applications.
• Experience with observability / monitoring tools and production diagnostics.
• Experience with staged rollout or feature-flag-based releases.
