Hybrid Senior Android Engineer - SDKs & On-Device Services

DT; Durham (NC); Hybrid; USD 120,000 - 170,000; Full time

Job summary

Digital Turbine is seeking a Senior Android Engineer to build and harden Android SDKs and on-device services powering app delivery, discovery, and monetization at carrier and OEM scale. You will own end-to-end product lifecycle from design through release, monitoring, and on-call, in a small, autonomous team.

The role emphasizes shipping robust SDKs, reducing installation failures, and expanding on-device distribution while aligning with FY27 goals.

Qualifications

• 5+ years building production mobile software, with deep expertise in Android (Kotlin/Java) and a working command of native internals; iOS (Swift/Objective-C) experience is a strong plus.
• Strong grasp of asynchronous programming, concurrency, memory and battery profiling, data structures, and mobile design patterns.
• Experience shipping SDKs, libraries, or framework-level code consumed by other developers — not just app features.
• A track record of operating what you build in production at scale, including monitoring, debugging field issues, and staged rollouts.
• Comfort working in a fast-paced, autonomous, outcome-oriented team that treats its product like a mini-startup.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain high-performance Android SDKs and on-device services (with iOS work as our cross-platform footprint grows).
• Drive down install and delivery failures — improving package-manager reliability, dynamic app-delivery (ASR), and recovery paths.
• Partner with OEM and carrier integration teams to ship features that operate within platform, privacy, and resource constraints.
• Extend on-device surfaces that power alternative distribution and brand-on-device experiences, a key pillar of DT's FY27 roadmap.
• Own the full lifecycle of what you build: instrumentation, alerting, rollout strategy, A/B experimentation, and on-call for your services.
• Raise the bar on code quality through reviews, automated testing, and tooling, and mentor other engineers on mobile best practices.
