Qualifications

• 6+ years of professional mobile engineering experience on one platform with native strength and hands-on Kotlin Multiplatform bridging to the other.
• Production Kotlin Multiplatform experience including commonMain/androidMain/iosMain and consuming as an xcframework.
• Experience modularizing a legacy single-module app or leading a modularization effort.
• Knowledge of DI frameworks (Hilt/Koin/Dagger) and integrating them into new/legacy codebases.
• Hands-on AI-assisted engineering practice (e.g., Copilot, Claude) and ability to establish it as a team practice.
• Comfort with owning architecture decisions beyond individual implementations.

Responsibilities

• Design and build shared Kotlin Multiplatform modules behind a single interface backed by voice vendors.
• Implement platform-specific pieces on Android and iOS, managing VoIP push and related integrations.
• Set AI-assisted development practices, including code generation and automated testing.
• Own architecture decisions for the shared core and mentor other engineers.
• Drive CI/CD maturity across both Android and iOS toolchains (GitHub Actions/Fastlane/Xcode Cloud).

Job description

Responsibilities:

• Design and build shared Kotlin Multiplatform modules for call-state logic and beyond, behind one interface that can be backed by either voice vendor we run
• Implement the platform-specific pieces on your platform yourself where needed, Telecom/ConnectionService and audio/push handling on Android, or CallKit/PushKit and XCFramework consumption on iOS, and know the App Store rejection risks around VoIP push misuse firsthand, since this is the single highest-risk area for review flags
• Set AI-assisted development practice for the team, code generation, automated testing, architecture decisions done with AI tools as a core workflow
• Own architecture decisions for the shared core; mentor other engineers
• Drive CI/CD maturity across both toolchains (GitHub Actions/Fastlane/Xcode Cloud + Android release pipelines)

Required skills:

• 6+ years of professional mobile engineering, with native-level strength on one platform (Android/Kotlin or iOS/Swift) and genuine hands-on production Kotlin Multiplatform experience bridging to the other, you've shipped expect/actual code and debugged real issues on the platform that isn't your primary, not just reviewed it
• Production experience with Kotlin Multiplatform: commonMain/androidMain/iosMain, and shipping a KMP module consumed as a compiled .xcframework on iOS
• Proven, specific experience extracting a shared module from a legacy single-module app, or leading a modularization effort in a legacy codebase , has actually done this migration before, not theorized about it
• Experience introducing a DI framework (Hilt/Koin/Dagger) into a codebase that didn't have one
• Deep, hands‑on AI‑assisted engineering practice (Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, or similar) , able to set practice for others, not just follow it
• Comfortable owning architecture decisions, not just implementing a spec

Nice to have:

• Compose Multiplatform experience (Android and/or iOS side) , still genuinely rare given how new CMP‑for‑iOS is; a real accelerant if present
• WebRTC, VoIP, or real‑time communication protocol experience , telephony domain knowledge shortens the ramp significantly here
• Flutter or Dart experience , same caveat as P2: a mindset signal only, not a substitute for KMP/CMP
• Experience building/integrating AI agents into mobile applications
• BS/MS in Computer Science or related field
• Experience working with distributed/remote global teams

Work Environment and Physical Requirements:

Primarily office‑environment work, extended periods of sitting or standing, computer‑based work. Limited lifting, and equipment usage limited to computer‑related equipment (keyboards, mouse, etc.)
