Lead Android Engineer - Mobile Modernization

About the role

Join a dedicated mobile pod delivering Android features for a major financial-services client in a regulated, security-first environment. Pods are small and senior-anchored — you'll own the Android architecture within your pod, set the code-quality bar, and ship production increments on a compressed timeline. Work in an AI-accelerated delivery model (AI-assisted codegen, test generation, and review) and amplify your output with modern tooling.

Responsibilities

• Design and build native Android features in Kotlin and Jetpack Compose
• Own architecture decisions within your pod — modularization, state management, navigation, dependency injection (Hilt/Dagger)
• Integrate against REST/GraphQL APIs in partnership with the pod's API engineer
• Build performant, secure features for real-time data and transactional workflows — streaming quotes/updates, low-latency UI, and secure handling of sensitive financial data
• Establish and enforce CI/CD, automated testing, and release standards for the pod
• Uphold security, privacy, and compliance requirements appropriate to a regulated broker-dealer
• Mentor a mid-level Android engineer and contribute to shared standards across pods
• Leverage AI-assisted tooling to accelerate delivery without compromising quality

Requirements

• 6+ years mobile development, 4+ years native Android in Kotlin
• Deep Jetpack Compose experience and sound grasp of modern Android architecture (MVVM/MVI, Clean Architecture)
• Strong coroutines/Flow concurrency skills
• Jetpack libraries (Navigation, Room, WorkManager, DataStore), DI with Hilt/Dagger
• API integration, offline/caching strategies, and secure data handling on device
• JUnit/Espresso testing and CI/CD (Gradle, GitHub Actions, Bitrise, or similar)
• Google Play release experience and signing/versioning fluency
• Self-directed; productive in a fast-ramp, standards-driven pod

Preferred Qualifications

• Financial services, fintech, or other regulated-industry experience
• Experience building real-time trading, brokerage, or streaming market-data apps
• Exposure to in-app AI features (conversational AI, AI-driven insights or personalization)
• Familiarity with security/compliance (SSO/OAuth, biometrics, Keystore, MDM)
• Multi-device experience: tablets and Wear OS
• Experience with AI-assisted development tooling
• Design-system / component-library contribution
