Job description

Own the reliability of Android automation software running on devices and emulators. You will improve existing native components, diagnose failures, integrate execution with backend services and ensure that reported outcomes match what actually happened.

This is a native engineering role requiring Kotlin, Android lifecycle knowledge and practical device debugging. You will work alongside backend, integration and browser automation engineers. Company-provided AI coding tools support the work.

Responsibilities

- Develop and maintain Kotlin components for authorised UI automation and device interaction.

- Handle lifecycle changes, permissions, background execution, interruptions and recovery.

- Diagnose device/emulator problems using ADB, logs and reproducible scenarios.

- Integrate job execution and result reporting with backend APIs, with durable state and sensible retries.

- Improve state detection, timeout handling and truthful success/failure reporting.

- Maintain tested builds, secure credential handling, signing and controlled rollouts.

- Plan changes as tracked tasks and document tests, evidence and operating notes before closure.

Required skills and experience

- Production Kotlin and native Android experience, including services, lifecycle, permissions and concurrency.

- Hands-on native UI automation or accessibility-service development and a clear understanding of platform constraints.

- Strong ADB, logcat and debugging skills across real Android devices and emulators, including remote device diagnosis and reproducible failure reports.

- API integration, local persistence, recovery and automated testing experience.

- Git review and release practices, including build/signing security and safe handling of sensitive information.

- Clear written English for reproduction steps, technical plans, test results and handover notes.

- Examples of independently diagnosing a failure and improving a solution after review.

Experience with cross-platform app bridges, device fleets or repeatable automation test environments is useful. We will assess native engineering and recovery skills directly through a small provided sample.

How we work and hire

Work follows documented tasks, approval, implementation, review and verification. We value early escalation of blockers and honest reporting of results.

Selection includes a short AI-assisted initial interview, an approximately 60–90-minute practical using synthetic material, and an on-site technical discussion. Final hiring decisions include human review.

Senior Mobile Engineer / Mobile Lead

Set the technical direction for mobile.

AbleCredit builds software for complex enterprise workflows where AI, APIs, business rules, human decisions, and real-world operations have to work together reliably. We care about building products that work in production - not just in demos. We're looking for a senior engineer to own the technical foundations of our mobile applications: architecture, reliability, performance, release safety, and the engineering practices that allow the mobile team to scale.

What You'll Own?

• Define mobile architecture and technical direction across our applications.

• Own reliability, performance, crash/ANR reduction, observability, and release quality.

• Make pragmatic native-versus-cross-platform decisions based on product and engineering constraints.

• Design robust patterns for networking, offline operation, media capture, synchronization, background work, and local persistence.

• Establish testing, CI/CD, staged rollout, feature flag, and production monitoring practices.

• Lead technically complex mobile initiatives that span backend, infrastructure, product, and design.

• Review architecture and critical code while mentoring mobile engineers.

• Reduce long-term complexity through platform components, shared libraries, and clear engineering standards.

What We're Looking For?

• 8+ years of software engineering experience with substantial production mobile ownership.

• Deep expertise in Android, iOS, or cross-platform mobile architecture, with strong understanding of native platform behavior.

• Experience designing and evolving large production mobile applications.

• Strong knowledge of concurrency, networking, persistence, performance, security, and application lifecycle.

• Experience leading technical projects and influencing engineers without relying on hierarchy.

• Strong production debugging and incident-resolution skills.

• Ability to balance architectural quality with startup execution speed.

Nice to Have

• Experience with media-heavy, field-workforce, fintech, or enterprise mobile applications.

• Native and cross-platform experience.

• Mobile security, device integrity, secure storage, and privacy-sensitive applications.

• Experience building internal mobile platforms, SDKs, or reusable application infrastructure.

What Makes This Role Different?

This isn't simply the most senior person implementing screens. You'll define how mobile engineering works at AbleCredit: architecture, reliability standards, developer experience, release discipline, and the technical foundations that the next generation of the application will be built on.

Software Engineer - Mobile (SDE 3)

Own mobile features from architecture to production.

AbleCredit builds software for complex enterprise workflows where AI, APIs, business rules, human decisions, and real-world operations have to work together reliably. We care about building products that work in production - not just in demos. Our mobile applications operate in the real world: variable networks, device fragmentation, media capture, background work, permissions, and workflows that cannot simply fail when connectivity does. We're looking for an engineer who can independently own substantial parts of that experience.

What You'll Own?

• Design and ship major mobile features end-to-end, from technical design through production rollout.

• Build reliable experiences around camera, audio, media upload, location, permissions, and device capabilities.

• Design for poor connectivity, retries, offline behavior, background execution, and interrupted workflows.

• Own API integration, local state, caching, persistence, and synchronization patterns.

• Improve app startup time, responsiveness, battery/network usage, crash rate, and overall reliability.

• Build observability into mobile features and debug issues across device, network, and backend boundaries.

• Contribute to mobile architecture, testing strategy, release engineering, and technical standards.

• Mentor junior engineers and interns through reviews and design discussions.

What We're Looking For?

• 5+ years building production mobile applications.

• Strong experience with Android/Kotlin, iOS/Swift, Flutter, React Native, or comparable mobile stacks.

• Deep understanding of mobile lifecycle, networking, concurrency, persistence, and performance.

• Experience shipping and supporting applications through production releases.

• Strong debugging skills using device logs, profiling, crash reporting, and network inspection.

• Good API design instincts and ability to reason about backend/mobile contracts.

• Ability to independently turn ambiguous product requirements into robust technical solutions.

Nice to Have

• Media capture or real-time audio/video experience.

• Offline-first or field-workforce applications.

• Mobile security, encryption, device integrity, or secure storage.

• Native module/bridge development in a cross-platform application.

• Experience with mobile CI/CD, automated testing, staged rollouts, and release observability.

How We Build?

Mobile is not a thin client. We treat device behavior, network reliability, telemetry, performance, and release safety as core engineering concerns. Engineers own what they ship after it reaches production.
