About the Role
- We’re hiring a Principal Android Engineer to be the mini-CTO for Android at Zobaze POS. You’ll own the architecture, shared business logic, Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) layer, and technical health of a mobile-first POS app used by hundreds of thousands of merchants globally.
- You’ll work with the founder for business direction—but system design, trade-offs, and technical decisions are yours. Your job: keep us fast and sane while protecting the platform from shortcuts and leading high-impact refactors.
- Zobaze POS is business-critical software used daily by retailers and food outlets for billing, inventory, staff management, and reporting—optimized for low-end devices, flaky networks, and real-world chaos.
What You’ll Own
- Android architecture end-to-end: Modules, patterns, KMP integration, state management, threading, error handling
- KMP strategy: Lead shared code architecture for cross-platform business logic; decide migration paths and avoid technical debt
- System design for harsh conditions: Offline-first, multi-device sync, graceful degradation under poor networks and low-spec hardware
- Full delivery lifecycle: Design → Build → Ship → Debug → Refactor key initiatives
- Refactors & modernization: Lead V1 → V2 rebuilds, module splits, and major migrations without breaking production
- Code detective & RCA owner: Drop into any codebase section, understand it fast, fix what’s broken, prevent recurrence
- Mentorship: Guide junior/mid-level developers and raise the team’s technical bar
Must-Have Skills
- 6–8 years Android dev (4+ years in fast-moving product companies, startups preferred)
- Strong in Kotlin, modern Android APIs, multi-module architectures
- 1–2 years Jetpack Compose in production (not toy projects)
- Large-scale refactor experience: V1 → V2, architecture rewrites, migrations—you handled risk and rollout
- Deep knowledge: MVVM, clean architecture, DI (Hilt/Dagger2), offline handling, sync strategies, coroutines, performance tuning
- Firebase comfort: Firestore, Functions, Auth, Messaging, Analytics, Crashlytics
- Elite debugging: Track down flaky production issues and design systemic fixes
- Code-reading detective: Navigate unfamiliar code and make safe, surgical changes
- Ownership mentality: High-expectation, low-handholding environment
Bonus Points
- POS/retail/operational systems experience
- Hands-on KMP in production (not toy projects)
- Hardware integrations (Bluetooth printers, scanners, cash drawers)
- Analytics tools (Amplitude, Intercom)
- Leading technical decisions in small, high-performance team
How You Use AI
- Proficient with Cursor, Copilot, Claude CLI, etc.
- Use AI as a high-context pair programmer for boilerplate, edge cases, refactor reasoning
- You don’t rely on AI to think for you—architectural understanding and judgment are yours
- Over-reliance without deep understanding is a red flag
Why Join
- Zero red tape: Build, ship, iterate—no committees
- Real impact: Your decisions affect thousands of small businesses daily
- Founder proximity: Influence product direction, protect the platform long-term
- AI-native team: Tooling and workflows that amplify great engineers
- High bar, supportive culture: Compete against mediocre software, not each other
Compensation
- Competitive salary based on capability and leverage created
- ESOPs for long-term owners
- Learning budgets, hardware, AI tooling access
- Health insurance for you & family
- Office perks (lunch, Zobaze Mix, fitness, etc.)
You’re a Fit If
- You see yourself as a mini-CTO for Android, not “just” an app developer
- You’ve built and broken real systems, then fixed them properly
- You want autonomy with accountability
- You care equally about quality, speed, and customer outcomes
- You’re excited about KMP and architecture
- You’re based in Hyderabad (or ready to relocate)
