*Ensure app stability, security, and scalability in production environments.
Requirements:
*3+ years of Android development experience using Kotlin.

*Strong understanding of asynchronous programming (Coroutines, Flow).
*Familiarity with REST or gRPC APIs and structured data formats.
*Strong debugging and performance profiling skills.
*Comfort building in environments with latency, partial failure, and non-deterministic behavior.
*Experience with MLKit or light on-device inference.
*Published production apps on the Google Play Store.
Outcomes:
*Stable, smooth, and reliable real-world use android applications.
*Performance is optimized: responsive, low-latency, and efficient on memory and CPU.
*Production issues are detected early, monitored effectively, and resolved with clear root-cause analysis.
Tech Stack:
*Kotlin / Java
*SQL / noSQL
*TensorFlow Lite (on-device inference)
The Team:
The best products today in the world were built by small, world class teams. You will be joining a high talent density and hands-on team who make decisions collectively, move at rapid speed, striking a balance between shipping high-quality work and learning. Joining the team requires the ability to bring structure, exercise judgment, and execute independently. The collective goal is to give users a truly magical product.
