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)

About Vokal Only 10% of India speaks English and 90% speak over 25 languages and 1000s of dialects. The internet has largely been in English. A good part of India is now getting internet connectivity thanks to cheap smartphones and Jio. The non-english speaking internet users will balloon to about 600 million users out of the total 750 million internet users in India by 2020. This will make the vernacular segment one of the largest segments in the world - almost 2x the size of the US population. The vernacular segment has very few products that they can use on the internet. Information and knowledge is one of the biggest needs of anyone that gets access to the internet. Most of the information and knowledge has been shared in English. Hence 90% of India remains underserved for their info and knowledge needs. Vokal is trying to solve this problem with its uniquely Indian solution. Vokal is a vernacular platform where some of the best brains of India share their knowledge with the common man in their own local language. They share this knowledge by answering questions of users over video & audio. Vokal solves the problem of access to info & knowledge for 600 million non-english speaking Indians. Users can speak out their question by voice and the speech to text converts their question to text. This text is then auto tagged and algorithmically matched to the most probable answerer who gives the response in voice / video. Vokal is working on some of the most interesting vernacular tech issues. Be a part of creating history by building tech for the largest underserved and one of the most complex consumer segments in the world! You can read more about Vokal in the media here: https://medium.com/getvokal/vokal-india-in-the-news-8bf7319be26b Requirements for matching profile 1. Work Experience between 3 to 5 years in mobile application development. 2. Worked on Android applications from scratch. Exposure to audio video content based applications is preferred. 3.
