Senior Software Engineer, Android — AI-Native Client Platform

About the role

Founded in 2015, NewsBreak is the Content Intelligence platform shaping the future content economy. With over 40 million monthly active users, our flagship platform delivers highly personalized local news and information powered by advanced AI, recommendation systems, and adtech. Recognized by Fast Company as #32 on the Top Workplaces for Innovators, we're proud to be Great Place to Work® certified and home to a dynamic team of technologists, product innovators, and business leaders who are passionate about solving meaningful challenges at scale.

What you’ll do

• Architect Android systems — from our flagship app to 0-to-1 new products — so every codebase stays legible to both engineers and AI agents.
• Drive modularization: extract shared capabilities so they ship once and run across apps.
• Ship user-facing features end-to-end — growth, feed, and new-app product needs — through the same AI-assisted workflow you’re improving: your platform work is measured by how much faster these ship.
• Solve the hardest performance and production problems, and turn what you learn into playbooks the whole team builds on.

Requirements

• 5+ years building Android apps at scale; deep Kotlin, Jetpack Compose.
• You’ve owned app-level architecture and lived with the consequences.
• You verify before you ship — including (especially) AI-generated code.

Qualifications

• Bonus: cross-platform experience (Kotlin Multiplatform, Flutter, or React Native) — our app matrix ships on both platforms.
• Bonus: developer tooling / CI quality gates that made a team measurably faster.
