Job summary

Digital Turbine Media, Inc. is seeking a Senior Android Engineer to build and harden the SDKs and on-device services that power app delivery, discovery, and monetization at carrier and OEM scale.

You will own the full lifecycle of what you build—instrumentation, alerting, rollout strategy, A/B experimentation—and mentor peers on mobile best practices in a fast-paced, autonomous team.

Qualifications

• 5+ years building production mobile software (Android) with Kotlin/Java, deep native internals knowledge.
• Experience shipping SDKs or libraries consumed by developers, not just apps.
• Track record of operating in production at scale with monitoring and staged rollouts.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain high-performance Android SDKs and on-device services with focus on reliability, footprint, battery, and security.
• Improve package-manager reliability and dynamic app delivery across fragmented devices and OSs.
• Collaborate with OEM and carrier teams to ship features within platform constraints.
• Extend on-device surfaces powering alternative distribution and brand-on-device experiences.
• Own instrumentation, alerting, rollout strategy, A/B testing, and on‑call for services.
• Raise code quality through reviews, automated tests, and mentoring engineers on mobile best practices.

Job description

Role Overview

As a Senior Android Engineer, you will build and harden the SDKs and on-device services that power app delivery, discovery, and monetization at carrier and OEM scale. Your work directly supports our FY27 goals of reducing installation failures, enabling dynamic app delivery, and extending our on-device presence into alternative distribution.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain high-performance Android SDKs and on-device services with a focus on reliability, footprint, battery, and security.
• Drive down install and delivery failures by improving package‑manager reliability, dynamic app delivery (ASR), and recovery paths across a highly fragmented device and OS landscape.
• Partner with OEM and carrier integration teams to ship features that operate within tight platform, privacy, and resource constraints.
• Extend on-device surfaces that power alternative distribution and brand‑on‑device experiences, a key pillar of our 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.

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.
• Nice to have skills: Experience with AdTech, mobile measurement/attribution, or on‑device ML inference; familiarity with OEM/carrier pre‑load constraints, Android system apps, or device‑management contexts; exposure to alternative app stores or in‑app purchase/payments flows.
