Staff Android Engineer (Founding)

• Grow Therapy’s iOS app launched earlier this year, and mobile is now a core part of how clients find care, connect with their providers, and stay engaged between sessions
• Android is next, and we’re hiring our founding Android engineer to build it
• This is a Staff role with end-to-end ownership
• You will set the technical direction for Android from day one: the architecture, the developer experience, the first production release, and the systems every future Android engineer will build on
• Android at Grow is greenfield, but you won’t be starting from zero
• A shipped iOS app, a shared backend, and an established design system give you a proven product and platform to build from
• You’ll report to our Director of Engineering for the Momentum pillar and work alongside the iOS, product, and design partners who built the first app
• This is a hands-on role in an AI-forward engineering organization
• We expect the person in this seat to make deliberate architectural calls with incomplete information, ship the first release, and set the standards a growing Android team inherits
• Design the architecture and technical foundations for Grow’s native Android app, from project structure and state management through build, testing, and release infrastructure
• Ship consumer-facing features on that foundation, building the experiences that help clients discover care, connect with providers, and manage their care journey between sessions
• Set coding standards, tooling, and engineering practices for Android, and evolve them as the team grows around you
• Own the path to production: CI/CD, Google Play release management, observability, and the quality and security practices a healthcare app requires
• Partner closely with product, design, and the iOS and backend teams to connect technical decisions to product goals, and product goals back to technical tradeoffs
• Drive cross-functional decisions and represent Android’s roadmap and tradeoffs to stakeholders across the company, often without a precedent to point to

• You have 8+ years of software engineering experience, the majority in native Android development with Kotlin, spanning both platform/architecture work and consumer-facing feature development
• You have led the technical direction for an Android app or platform from an early or 0-to-1 stage, or through a major re-architecture: you chose the architecture, stood up the tooling, shipped to production, and are comfortable making those calls with incomplete information and no established playbook
• You use AI development tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) as a core part of how you build, and have grounded opinions on where they help and where they don’t
• You have strong product instincts and a genuine ability to partner with product and design, connecting technical decisions to what users actually experience
• You have production depth in modern Android: Jetpack Compose, Kotlin coroutines and Flow, dependency injection, modularization, and Gradle build tooling, and a considered testing strategy
• You have a personal connection to mental health care or a strong pull toward Grow’s mission
• You have a considered view on Kotlin Multiplatform and shared-code strategies, grounded in something you’ve shipped or evaluated
• You’ve built mobile apps in a regulated or healthcare setting, with real attention to sensitive data and accessibility
