Android Engineer (Kotlin)

About the role

We are hiring an Android Engineer (Kotlin) to take us from iOS-first to full Android parity and launch our Android app. The iOS experience is the reference bar; your job is to replicate it on Android with pixel-level accuracy, great performance, and strong reliability.

This is an AI-native engineering role. You should be extremely comfortable building with the newest frontier models and developer tooling (including Codex, OpenAI models, and Anthropic models) to move fast without sacrificing quality.

What you’ll do

  • Build the Android app in Kotlin, matching iOS behavior and UX closely.
  • Take the existing iOS implementation and break down features into an Android plan that reaches parity quickly.
  • Own the end-to-end delivery: development, QA, iteration, release readiness, and Android launch.
  • Implement UI and interactions with obsessive attention to detail (layout, typography, spacing, animations, transitions).
  • Ensure quality through strong testing practices, careful validation, and regression prevention.
  • Communicate clearly and proactively with the team (written + verbal), flagging risks early and proposing solutions.

Must-haves

  • Strong Android development experience in Kotlin (you can ship).
  • Ownership mentality: you take responsibility for outcomes, not just tasks.
  • Quick learner who thrives in a startup environment (fast pace, ambiguity, high standards).
  • Excellent communication (clear written updates, crisp verbal discussions, strong async collaboration).
  • Deep comfort with modern AI workflows:
  • You use frontier models daily (Codex / OpenAI / Anthropic).
  • You know how to verify outputs, write good prompts, and use AI to accelerate implementation + testing.
  • High quality bar: you care that the Android app feels identical to iOS.

AI/tooling

  • You’re free to use any AI tools that help you ship faster and better.
  • All AI costs are covered by the company

Nice-to-haves

  • Experience porting/parity work (bringing an app from iOS to Android or vice versa).
  • Strong testing background (unit/integration/UI testing).
  • Experience with release pipelines, crash reporting, analytics, and performance profiling.

To apply

Send

  • A short note describing your AI development workflow (tools/models you use, how you validate, how you test)
  • Availability (confirm you can start immediately)
