Staff Android Engineer
Posted Updated
- Android is an important surface for that future because continuous, decision-ready workflows need to feel fast, secure, and reliable across phones, foldables, and managed enterprise environments
- As a Staff Android Engineer, you will own and evolve the Android architecture and mobile-facing foundations that shape product quality across customer workflows
- You will work from deep Android expertise while shaping the technical decisions, validation practices, and delivery patterns that help teams build reliable native experiences with confidence
- This is a hands-on Staff role with significant architectural ownership, platform-level leverage, and long-term product impact
- You will help teams move faster while improving delivery predictability and preserving the quality, reliability, and trust that enterprise mobile experiences require, including by shaping the AI-enabled development, validation, and testing practices that make Android delivery safer and more confident
- Own and evolve the Android platform foundation: Define the Android architecture, modular boundaries, and native engineering patterns that make AlphaSense experiences fast, reliable, secure, and easier to evolve as the product grows
- Lead through hands-on Android system design:Turn complex product and platform problems into durable production architecture grounded in deep Android expertise and modern Android platform practices
- Improve reliability and delivery confidence: Shape how Android work is designed, reviewed, tested, shipped, and operated, including the automation, observability, rollout practices, and AI-enabled validation needed to move quickly with confidence
- Create clear mobile-facing system contracts: Partner with iOS, backend, product, and design to clarify API behavior, ownership boundaries, and platform expectations that protect native product quality without pushing hidden complexity into Android
- Raise mobile-system judgment across teams: Turn complex mobile-system work into reusable standards and stronger engineering judgment for the teams building native experiences
Benefits
- Work from home opportunities
- Experience building Android product experiences across varied device and form-factor contexts, such as foldables, wearables, Android Auto, or other platform-native surfaces
- Track record making engineers around you better by turning complex mobile-system work into clear standards, reusable patterns, and stronger technical judgment across teams
- Strong reliability and release-quality judgment across production mobile systems, with experience raising quality standards for a platform or product area
- Experience shaping AI-enabled engineering systems that improve validation, product quality, and delivery confidence for Android and broader mobile outcomes
- Experience with enterprise mobile environments where identity, device management, compliance, or security constraints shape architecture, including MDM/EMM
- Ability to represent mobile platform principles from a deep Android base, with enough iOS fluency to shape cross-functional architecture decisions where backend, web, and product choices affect identity, reliability, release quality, observability, and native product outcomes
- Deep expertise in modern production Android architecture, with a track record of setting technical standards for a platform, product area, or native mobile domain
- Ability to read, debug, and make targeted contributions to backend systems when needed to unblock mobile-facing outcomes
- Experience shaping mobile-facing platform contracts, API behavior, or backend service boundaries that improve product quality across native client experiences
- Excellent product judgment and communication skills, including the ability to connect technical decisions to customer outcomes and align teams around durable technical decisions
- Experience shaping mobile design-system foundations and design-to-code workflows that improve consistency, accessibility, development velocity, and AI-assisted UI generation across native platforms
