Job summary

BDR Solutions LLC is seeking a Mobile Developer (Android-first) to design, build, and evolve high-quality Android experiences using Kotlin and modern Android frameworks. You will partner with product, design, backend, QA, and iOS peers to deliver reliable customer value, with opportunities to contribute Swift or SwiftUI changes when useful.

The role requires 6+ years in software engineering with strong Android ownership and deep Kotlin expertise; iOS collaboration is expected, not a senior-only

Qualifications

• 6+ years of professional software engineering with ownership of Android apps.
• Advanced Kotlin skills and strong knowledge of Android SDK fundamentals, Jetpack libraries, coroutines, and reactive state management.
• Production experience with Jetpack Compose including state, navigation, performance, testing, and interoperability with Views.
• Experience with REST or GraphQL APIs, local persistence, background work, authentication, analytics, and push notifications.
• Strong testing and debugging habits, including crash and telemetry-driven decisions.
• Experience shipping through Google Play, managing staged rollouts, and handling production issues.
• Clear written and verbal communication with engineers and non-engineering partners.
• Mentoring others and improving team practices through influence.

Responsibilities

• Own the design and implementation of complex Android features from discovery through monitoring after release.
• Set and evolve technical direction for Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, app architecture, modularization, networking, persistence, and dependency management.
• Write clear technical designs; surface tradeoffs, risks, dependencies, and migration plans before implementation.
• Build accessible, responsive interfaces in collaboration with product design and research.
• Improve automated testing across unit, integration, UI, and end-to-end layers; emphasize quality.
• Strengthen observability, performance, crash health, security, privacy, and release confidence for the Android app.
• Partner with backend and platform teams on API contracts, offline behavior, authentication, experimentation, and analytics.
• Collaborate with iOS engineers on shared product behavior and mobile standards; avoid forcing identical patterns.
• Review code thoughtfully, mentor engineers, raise quality of technical decisions, avoid bottlenecks.
• Participate in planning, estimation, incident response, and continuous improvement of the mobile delivery process.
