- Partner with Product and UX to deliver thoughtful, accessible, and polished user interfaces.
- Uphold engineering best practices through code reviews, readable code, and maintainable abstractions.

- Solid understanding of Android UI—XML layouts and Jetpack Compose—and how to build responsive, accessible, and performant screens.
- Working knowledge of software engineering best practices across the SDLC: coding standards, code reviews, Git workflows, CI/CD, automated testing, and mobile release operations.
- 4 years of industry experience building, shipping, and maintaining Android applications at scale.
- Interest in or exposure to security/privacy considerations in consumer apps; fintech experience is a plus.
