Software Developer - Android (US)

About the role

We believe that communication belongs to everyone. TextNow is redefining how people connect by combining simplicity, intelligence, and accessibility. As a Software Developer - Android, you’ll shape the systems, architecture, and tooling that make these innovations possible.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and sustain high-performance Android applications using Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, and Java.
• Lead architectural modernization and modularization to improve scalability and cross-platform reuse.
• Define and own the entire lifecycle of your systems: feature ideation, API design, instrumentation, deployment (CI/CD), live-traffic monitoring, unit/UI/e2e testing, user telemetry & data analysis, experiment design (A/B tests), and continuous iteration.
• Influence and evolve our architecture: propose and lead initiatives to decompose monoliths, build shared libraries and frameworks, improve modularization, enable reuse across Android, iOS, and Web; evaluate new Android platform capabilities (e.g., new OS releases, device types, form factors, architectures) and lead their adoption.
• Apply AI-driven tools and automation frameworks to speed up development, code analysis, testing, and reliability.
• Leverage intelligent telemetry, analytics, and optimization pipelines to improve app performance and user experience.
• Define observability standards, telemetry pipelines, and fault-tolerance strategies for production-grade systems.
• Partner closely with product, design, backend, and data teams to deliver seamless, high-quality user experiences.
• Drive technical discussions, mentor developers, and influence strategic direction across mobile platforms.

Qualifications

• Deep expertise in Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, and modern concurrency tools such as Coroutines and Flows.
• Proven track record of architecting modular, maintainable systems that balance speed and reliability.
• Strong background in performance optimization, observability, and system-level debugging.
• Experience using AI and automation to improve developer velocity, reliability, or product intelligence.
• A collaborative technical leader who thrives in fast-moving environments and mentors others to excel.
• Passionate about creating elegant, high-performance mobile experiences across Android’s ecosystem.
• Architect for observability, reliability, and production-readiness: understand instrumentation, SLOs/SLIs, fault-tolerance, runbooks, incident triage, scalable telemetry pipelines, and production diagnostics for mobile clients.
• You have been a technical leader (not just an individual contributor): influence roadmap decisions, contribute to multi-team initiatives, mentor/lead developers, drive culture/process improvements, and interface with senior developer/product leadership.
