Job description

What You'll Do

• Develop the short drama mobile app.
• Take part in analysis, architecture design and business-flow design.
• Research and build concepts and POC modules, proving a given technical approach can work.
• Deploy releases to the store yourself, and handle what goes wrong after they land.
• Integrate and tune ad SDKs with mediation and waterfall - AdMob, Max/AppLovin and others.
• Optimise video playback: load speed, playback quality and file size, distant markets above all.
• Integrate and verify tracking (Firebase, AppsFlyer) - the numbers have to be right for UA to decide on them.
• Use an AI coding assistant (Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code or equivalent) as part of the daily routine: scaffolding, tests, reading logs, tracing bugs.
• Automate the repetitive steps of the build and release pipeline rather than doing them by hand.
• Work with the AI film production team to automate getting films into the app: metadata, subtitles, packaging.
• Propose and try AI features in the product itself - recommendations, automatic translation and subtitles, a personalised viewing flow.
• Bring new AI technology into the work, with the freedom to experiment and propose.

WHY THIS SEAT

• A genuinely AI-first environment - the films are produced with AI, the development process uses AI, and you are encouraged to automate every repetitive step rather than told to do it by hand.
• Work directly with the Product Owner and the lead, with few approval layers.

What We're Looking For

• At least 2 years building mobile on Android, with a real app shipped to the store.
• Understands software architecture - MVVM, MVI, VIPER or an equivalent.
• Understands design patterns and SOLID.
• Has used an AI coding assistant on real work.
• Able to research new technology and read English technical documentation.
• Self-starting, works well in a team and alone, and steady at the pace of a studio being built from scratch.
• Strong advantage: has integrated ad SDKs and mediation (AdMob, Max/AppLovin, Unity, IronSource).
• Strong advantage: has automated a process with AI or scripts, not only used AI to generate code.
• Strong advantage: lead or training experience.
• Advantage: Jetpack Compose.
• Advantage: streaming or video apps, playback and CDN tuning.
• Advantage: apps scaled across several markets.
• Advantage: web and cloud technology.

Compensation & Benefits

• Income by agreement
• Full social insurance
• A path to Key Member, with the team's ESOP award
