Jobbeschreibung

There are over 5 billion users using basic applications today such email, notes, tasks, calendar and they're not AI-native. Our mission is to build proactive applications for anyone in the world, who are not used to complex prompting. We aim to bring intelligence to conversations, errands, organising and workflows, with minimal prompting.

Our product focuses on achieving high reliability for long-running workflows, persistent context, and real-world task completion. We believe products will greatly reduce hallucinations

Our objective is to organise anyone's life, allowing us all to spend time on valuable and meaningful things

Role

As an Android Developer, AI Apps, you own the Android client experience, how AI feels, behaves, and performs on mobile devices. This is not a thin client role.

• 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.

Outcomes

• Stable, smooth, and reliable real-world use android applications.
• Performance is optimized: responsive, low-latency, and efficient on memory and CPU.
• Production issues are detected early, monitored effectively, and resolved with clear root-cause analysis.
• Kotlin / Java
• SQL / noSQL
• TensorFlow Lite (on-device inference)
