Job description

The role is for an Android developer who has shipped real apps in Kotlin with Jetpack for at least two years and can own a feature from a blank page to release. A strong candidate shows projects they conceived and delivered themselves, and is comfortable working alongside a web stack that includes TypeScript, React and Ruby on Rails. Being willing to work in person in Palo Alto is part of the deal.

How it fits the AI era

AI tools can speed up writing Kotlin, UI code and tests, so a developer who uses them well can cover a larger part of the app. What stays human is deciding what to build, judging whether the code is correct, and finding the root cause when something breaks. Ownership and taste for a good mobile experience matter more as routine code gets faster to produce.

How it builds AI experience

The posting does not name AI features, so the AI experience here would mostly come from using coding assistants to ship faster on a large mobile surface. Someone could build more by adding AI-powered helpers to an Android app that serves creators, such as drafting product descriptions or summarizing sales and payout activity. Working on a payments and marketplace app also gives practice in making AI features that handle money and trust with care.

Worth showing

• End-to-end feature ownership
• Consumer mobile at scale
• Comfort with TypeScript and Rails
