  • Collaborate with Product, Design, Backend, and Data teams to translate business needs into scalable technical solutions.
  • Provide hands-on technical leadership and mentorship to Android engineers, driving code quality, performance, and maintainability.
  • Ensure high performance and reliability across Android products by optimizing startup time, memory, battery, and crash rates.
  • Oversee the full software lifecycle — from technical design, implementation, code review, testing, and deployment.
  • Implement CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and release management processes.
  • Stay current with Android platform changes, SDK updates, and ecosystem trends to guide technical decisions.
  • Promote engineering excellence through documentation, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement initiatives.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
  • 8+ years of Android development experience, with at least 2 years in a technical lead or architect role.
  • Expert in Kotlin and Java, with deep understanding of Android SDK, frameworks, and system internals.
  • Proven track record of designing and delivering SDKs or complex Android frameworks (experience in ad tech or monetization platforms is an advantage).
  • Strong knowledge of modern Android architecture (MVVM, MVI, modularization, dependency injection with Dagger/Hilt).
  • Experience with CI/CD, code quality enforcement, and automated testing frameworks.
  • Skilled in performance optimization using profiling and debugging tools (ADB, Profiler, Systrace, etc.).
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to lead and influence across teams.
  • Fluent in English; Mandarin proficiency is a plus.

Preferred Skills

  • Experience with hybrid or cross-platform frameworks (KMM, Flutter, React Native).
  • Previous exposure to SDK integrations across large user bases or third-party partnerships.
  • Familiarity with distributed team collaboration in APAC or global settings.
