Software Development Engineer IV Android

At Meesho, our Android team isn’t just building an app; we’re crafting an experience that works flawlessly on everything from ₹5K entry‑level phones in small towns to flagship devices in metro cities. It’s a challenge of scale, stability, and empathy — and it drives everything we do.

The Role

We’re looking for a seasoned Android engineer to join our Platform team, combining deep technical skills with strong product intuition. As a SDE IV Android, you’ll work on core app quality initiatives‑including improving page latency, enhancing App Vitals, and driving performance and reliability at scale.

You’ll architect shared frameworks, solve performance challenges on low‑end devices, and enable teams to build faster with consistent quality. With a product‑first mindset, you’ll ensure platform solutions translate into meaningful user and business impact.

This is a critical individual contributor role focused on elevating the foundation of Meesho’s Android experience.

• Architect and build scalable, high‑quality components and systems used across the Meesho Android app.
• Own and improve core app performance metrics like page latency, cold start time, memory usage, and App Vitals.
• Design reusable frameworks, SDKs, and libraries that power consistent experiences across multiple feature teams.
• Be the go‑to expert for Android best practices, from Jetpack and Compose to modularization and Gradle optimization.
• Mentor and support engineers across the org — driving technical discussions, code reviews, and hands‑on problem solving.
• Create tooling, linters, and CI integrations to automate quality and improve developer velocity.
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with Product, Design, and Backend teams to deliver delightful user experiences.
• Lead deep dives into performance bottlenecks, and proactively drive platform‑wide improvements.
• Stay updated with the Android ecosystem — bringing in the best ideas and innovations from the community.

What You Bring

• 6+ years building scalable Android apps with real user impact.
• Strong Kotlin/Java skills and deep Android SDK knowledge.
• Experience with Retrofit, Room, Coroutines, Jetpack, RxJava.
• Solid understanding of app architecture (MVVM, Clean Architecture).
• Proven track record improving performance and platform stability.
• Experience with shared libraries, modularization, and build optimizations.
• Skilled with performance and observability tools (Perfetto, Systrace).
• Product mindset — focused on user experience and business outcomes.
• Bonus: Experience leading cross‑team platform initiatives or scaling apps.

What's in It for You

• Ownership and autonomy with no micromanagement.
• A culture that values curiosity, creativity, and open, honest communication.
• Opportunity to make a real impact at scale, affecting millions of users daily.
• Continuous learning and collaboration with highly motivated, skilled peers.
• Be part of a mission to democratize internet commerce for everyone — an objective we pursue every day with dedication.
• Strong user empathy: We are committed to understanding and solving the real challenges our users face, and take pride in delivering meaningful improvements.

To support work‑life balance, we offer generous leave policies, parental support, retirement benefits, and learning and development assistance. Through personalized recognition, gratitude for stretched work, and engaging activities, we promote employee delight at the workplace. Additional benefits such as salary advance support, relocation assistance, and flexible benefit plans further enrich the Meesho experience.
