• Propose ideas/solutions to make Android at Reddit best‑in‑class.

• Define and operationalize guardrails (lint/static analysis, tests, and AI‑assisted reviews) that catch common issues early.
• Build and evolve Android client health and observability foundations (events, traces, dashboards) so teams can improve user experiences.
• Apply AI thoughtfully to engineering workflows (e.g., code review, static analysis, CI checks) for improved developer productivity and/or user experiences.
• Mentor and Support Android engineers through design reviews, documentation, and education on platform capabilities, observability, and best practices.

What we expect from you

• 5+ years software development experience with 3+ years building Android applications.
• Experience working in a large codebase serving ~100 engineers and millions of DAUs.

• A passion for developing scalable, well‑designed software that improves people’s lives.
• Experience working with cross‑functional teams such as design, product, data teams to deliver great user experiences.
• Practical experience applying AI to engineering workflows (code generation, refactoring, static analysis, or CI checks) with clear, measurable benefit.
