🛠 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.

● Work on BAU tasks like UI/UX adjustments, bug fixes, crash/ANR fixes, edge-case handling, and test coverage.

● 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

• Languages: Kotlin, Java
• Frameworks: Native Android, Jetpack, KMP, Unit Testing, Espresso
• Libraries: Android assisted libraries like Jetpack, Dependency Injection, etc. 
• Backend/Infra: Firestore (Firebase), GCP
• Analytics: Amplitude
• AI Tools: GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor
• Version Control: Git (GitHub)

✅ 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

● "Will do anything" attitude — no ego, just execution.

● 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

• Ability to use profiling tools well, getting to root causes of bugs fast
• Ability to pick and work on adjacent technologies if and when required (Eg: If the best performance monitoring solution needs a basic firebase setup, that should not be a blocker for you to go ahead and do so)
• Maintain code and write automated tests to ensure the product is of the highest quality.
