About the Role

A1 is building a proactive AI system that users rely on daily across conversations, tools, and workflows.

You will build and maintain production Android applications where AI is a core part of the user experience. This role focuses on performance, reliability, and thoughtful UX for AI-heavy interactions, not thin-client glue code.

Focus

• Build and maintain production Android apps using Kotlin.
• Integrate AI-powered features (chat, vision, voice, recommendations) via backend APIs.
• Design UX patterns for AI interactions, including streaming responses, retries, and partial results.
• Optimize performance, memory usage, and responsiveness for AI-heavy flows.
• Implement analytics, logging, and feedback capture to support AI evaluation and iteration.
• Collaborate closely with backend and ML engineers on API contracts and system behavior.
• Ensure app stability, security, and scalability in production environments.

Ideal Experiences

• 3+ years of Android development experience using Kotlin.
• Hands-on experience integrating AI features (e.g. LLM, vision, speech APIs).
• 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.

Tech Stack

• Kotlin / Java
• SQL / noSQL
• TensorFlow Lite (on-device inference)

Compensation Range
