Shape the future of a leading mobile experience, deepen user engagement, boost safety, and drive innovative design through experimentation and collaboration.


About the Role

As a senior member of our product engineering team, you’ll own the end‑to‑end development of high‑impact in‑app experiences for millions of users worldwide. Working closely with design, product, and data‑science partners, you’ll translate ambitious concepts into fast, reliable, and delightful Android experiences—while championing performance, safety, and engineering excellence.


What You’ll Do

  • Build Reusable Tooling – Design and maintain libraries, SDKs, and internal frameworks that enable cross‑team collaboration and accelerate feature delivery.
  • Champion Performance & Reliability – Own the performance budget for UI rendering, memory usage, and battery impact; implement monitoring, profiling, and automated testing to keep the app rock‑solid at scale.
  • Drive Safety & Trust – Integrate safety mechanisms (e.g., content moderation, secure data handling, privacy‑first defaults) and work with security engineers to mitigate risk.
  • Scale Feature Delivery – Leverage feature‑flagging, rollout strategies, and data‑driven metrics to launch, iterate, and roll back features safely.
  • Mentor & Influence – Guide junior engineers, lead code reviews, and foster a culture of continuous learning and high‑quality craftsmanship.
