Job description

Role Overview

We are looking for a hands-on Senior Android Developer who takes pride in building fast, reliable, and delightful mobile experiences at scale. You will own critical pieces of our Android codebase across one or more of our six apps, working close to the metal on performance, architecture, and craft.

This is a high-ownership role for an engineer who has already shipped consumer apps at scale and is ready to independently drive technical decisions on major product bets. You will partner closely with Product, Design, Backend, and QA teams — and your code will run on the phones of millions of people every day.

Key Responsibilities

App Development & Architecture

• Design, build, and maintain high-performance native Android applications using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose
• Architect scalable, modular, and testable codebases using MVVM/MVI and clean architecture principles
• Own end-to-end feature delivery — from technical design through release and monitoring
• Build and maintain reusable components and libraries shared across our multi-app ecosystem

Performance & Quality

• Profile and optimise app performance — startup time, memory, battery, and rendering
• Drive crash-free rates and ANR reduction through rigorous testing and monitoring
• Write clean, well-tested code with strong unit and UI test coverage
• Debug complex, production issues across devices, OS versions, and network conditions

Collaboration & Technical Leadership

• Partner with Product and Design to translate requirements into robust technical solutions
• Conduct code reviews and set the technical bar for the Android engineering team
• Mentor junior developers and help level up engineering practices across the team
• Collaborate with Backend teams on API contracts and with QA on release readiness

Innovation & Best Practices

• Stay current with the Android ecosystem and evaluate new tools, libraries, and patterns
• Champion CI/CD, modularisation, and developer-experience improvements
• Contribute to engineering standards, documentation, and onboarding for new hires

What We're Looking For

Must-Have

• 5+ years of experience building native Android applications in production
• Strong command of Kotlin, coroutines, and modern Android architecture components
• Hands-on experience with Jetpack Compose and/or the classic View system
• Deep understanding of Android app lifecycle, memory management, and performance tuning
• Experience with REST APIs, offline-first design, and local persistence (Room, DataStore)
• High ownership mindset with a track record of independently shipping high-stakes features

Nice-to-Have

• Experience with multi-module app architecture and dynamic feature delivery
• Exposure to consumer apps with large user bases (1M+ DAU)
• Familiarity with Firebase, CI/CD pipelines, and crash-monitoring tools (Crashlytics, Sentry)
• Prior experience in social entertainment, gaming, or creator economy platforms
• Experience at a high-growth startup (Series A–C stage)
• Experience mentoring engineers or owning Android architecture for a product charter

Why Join Tamasha?

Build at Scale

Ship code that runs on the phones of 2.5M+ active users across a multi-app ecosystem.

Real Ownership

No bureaucracy. You own your architecture decisions and see them through to production.

Modern Stack

Work with Kotlin, Coroutines, and Jetpack Compose — no legacy baggage holding you back.

Multi-App Ecosystem

Work across apps at different stages — early-stage, growth, and scale, all in one company.
