Senior Android Engineer

As a Senior Android Engineer, you will help shape and evolve a mobile experience used by millions of readers and writers worldwide. You will take ownership of Android features from initial discovery and design through implementation, release, and ongoing performance evaluation. Beyond writing high-quality code, you will influence product decisions, identify user needs, and turn ambiguous ideas into practical solutions. Working closely with designers, leadership, and engineers across Android, iOS, web, and backend, you will help deliver cohesive experiences across platforms. You will contribute to technical architecture, engineering standards, and product strategy within a small, distributed team. This is an opportunity to combine deep Android expertise with strong product thinking while helping build a more meaningful digital reading and writing experience.

The ideal candidate combines advanced Android engineering skills with product intuition, cross-platform awareness, and the ability to make sound decisions in an evolving environment.
