What you’ll need

5+ years of software engineering experience, including time leading a team or owning a major surface while staying hands-on
Rock solid Kotlin, Kotlin Coroutines, Kotlin Flow, Dagger 2, MVVM, Clean Architecture, Background Services, Music Player Service, Android animations, Jetpack Navigation, and JUnit tests
Experience shipping and maintaining background audio or other long-running background work
Understanding of the importance of tests and how to approach writing them, including what can't be covered by them
Something you introduced to a team that stuck after you stopped pushing it, and an honest account of what it cost to get there
Some comfort with the unpopular half of the job: asking people to change how they work, and living with the friction that follows
A view on which changes need heavy review and which don't, argued from what the system does
A track record of building things the rest of your team actually used, not only things that made you faster
The ability to describe how your team works with AI agents, not only how you do personally
Product design intuition, user empathy, and the drive to push Android UI/UX further than the spec asks for
