🛠 What You’ll Own

 ● Assist the Senior Android Developer with fast iterations — from micro features to bug fixes  and quick POCs

● Independently own and deliver complete features or modules end-to-end when required.

● Build responsive UI’s using both XML layouts and Jetpack Compose.

● Build testable, maintainable code using Kotlin and Java.

● Leverage Android architecture components, ViewModel, LiveData/StateFlow, and coroutines.

● Leverage AI tools like GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, and Cursor to speed up cycles and unblock yourself.

● Integrate and maintain services using Firestore; handle analytics with Amplitude; follow clean Git practices.

● Write unit tests and UI tests (Espresso) as part of development quality.

● Collaborate closely with product and design teams for fast, user-first execution.

🧪 Tech Stack You’ll Use

• Backend/Infra: Firestore (Firebase), GCP
• Analytics: Amplitude

✅ What We’re Looking For

Experience & Skill

 ● 3–4 years of experience in native Android app development

● Strong in Kotlin and Android app architecture (MVVM, Jetpack, XML)

● Comfortable working with Firestore, REST APIs, and Amplitude analytics

● Exposure to writing unit tests and Espresso UI tests

● Hands-on with Git and collaborative code reviews

● Curious and eager to use tools like Claude, Cursor, or Copilot to multiply your productivity

● Experience integrating Google Play Billing / In-App Purchases.

● Experience with Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile (KMP) or cross-platform tools

● Comfortable working in a fast-paced, lean team where ownership is key

🧬 Mindset & Culture

 ● Fast learner and deeply curious — always exploring tools, frameworks, or tech trends

● Shows awareness or interest in AI-assisted dev (e.g., Cursor, Copilot, ChatGPT, etc.)

● Comfortable working in chaos — no fixed process, full ownership from Day 1

● Has worked in small engineering setups — not shielded in large dev teams

● Takes pride in building impactful features, not just writing code

● Handles tech disagreements with calm logic

● Thinks AI and automation are tools to scale judgment, especially in crunch times

💡 Attitude & Ambition

 ● You want to grow from “just a dev” → a product engineer who can own features end-to-end

● You default to action — pick up unfinished tasks, unblock yourself, ask for clarity when stuck

● You see AI tools (Copilot, Cursor, Claude) as leverage, not novelty — and already use them

● You crave feedback loops — not for praise, but to level up fast

● You’d rather ship fast and improve daily, than spend 2 weeks debating folder structure

● You’re betting on yourself — and want to be around people doing the same

● You're ready to relocate to Hyderabad and be in-office with the team

❌ Do Not Apply If You…

 ● Are looking for a comfort-first job — this role demands steep growth and self-initiation

● Need spoon-feeding or rigid specs to contribute meaningfully

● Aren’t actively curious about AI tools (Copilot, Cursor, Claude)

● Prefer siloed work and slow iteration cycles

● Aren’t excited to work in-office with a lean, high-context team in Hyderabad

🌱 Why Zobaze?

● Work directly with a 10+ year senior Android expert — compound your growth

● Your work won’t sit in backlogs — ship features fast and learn even faster

About LikeMinds: Platform for creators to build communities and monetize them: Social Networks have become more media platforms than “social” platforms. They are not designed to make real human connections. Demand for more intimate online places is higher than ever. Communities are in huge demand! Also, these “Ad-driven” platforms only reward top creators. Most creators are left out - no matter how engaged their audience is. They have to constantly beat algorithms to reach out to their own audience. Over 50 million people around the world consider themselves creators. 97% of them aren’t getting paid. As a result creators are flocking to platforms like Slack, Discord, WhatsApp & Telegram - none of which were built either for community engagement or creator monetization. Community creators have to go through the pain of managing multiple third party tools to engage and monetize their community. LikeMinds helps creators to convert their audience into a branded private community. They can monetize it by selling digital products like memberships, group chats, events, consultations and courses. As a platform purpose-built for community entrepreneurs, LikeMinds has inbuilt tools for member acquisition, onboarding, retention, moderation, monetization, and referrals. Our platform enables creators to drive high engagement and belonging via chat rooms, events, polls, member directory, and rewards. These features are in addition to powerful business tools like community website, subscription management, event reminders, analytics dashboard, cohort creation, in-app banners, data export, and much more. Custom integrations are also available for creators with existing assets.In the last few months, we have helped 100+ creators monetize their communities. These include entertainers, fitness & wellness trainers, professional domain experts, language instructors, life coaches, financial experts, micro-entrepreneurship coaches, and exam prep coaches. We are a team of entrepreneurs, techies and community builders with credible backgrounds supported by 2 large VCs.
