Responsibilities

• Product Collaboration: Partner with product managers and business stakeholders to estimate feature effort, refine technical requirements, and prioritize delivery, from sprint-level scope to strategic SDK roadmaps driven by technical feasibility and business impact
• Cross-Platform Parity: Work alongside the iOS team, reading and navigating the Swift/Objective-C codebase to cross-reference logic, guarantee behavioral consistency, and keep release scopes synchronized across platforms
• Team Collaboration, Quality & Leadership: Contribute to technical refinement sessions, code reviews, documentation, and bug-resolution cycles, and as you grow, set core standards (binary-size budgets, backward-compatibility validation) and mentor mid-level engineers
• Embedded Telemetry: Build and refine our custom embedded crash-logging and exception-dump mechanism, a lightweight, non-intrusive system that captures SDK runtime faults with safe local persistence and delivery, without colliding with the host app's native reporting infrastructure
• Mediation & Viewability: Develop, test, and optimize high-priority mediation adapters, focusing on the AppLovin MAX integration pathway, and programmatic viewability tracking via the embedded IAB Open Measurement (OM) SDK
• Automation Frameworks: Maintain and run continuous integration pipelines, migrate testing matrices to cloud-hosted test environments (BrowserStack, Sauce Labs), and consolidate build and release workflows from CircleCI to GitHub Actions

Requirements

• We're hiring across two levels on the same team :
• Level II (Engineer II): you take well-defined specifications and turn them into high-quality, predictable implementations, collaborating closely with the team.
• Level III (Senior): you provide technical leadership, architectural vision, and end-to-end ownership of the SDK, working with a high degree of autonomy and mentoring others along the way.
• Core (all levels):
• Strong competency in Kotlin and Java , with a clear understanding of multi-threaded code execution, network-layer containment, and standard Android debugging practices.
• A genuine understanding of the difference between SDK/library development and standard app development : the strict memory, threading, and performance constraints of running inside third-party apps.
• Comfort navigating and reading fundamental iOS (Swift/Objective-C) patterns to perform comparative logic tracking when troubleshooting feature parity.
• Familiarity with GCP / Google Cloud environments, and a pragmatic, safe approach to leveraging modern AI development tools (e.g., Copilot, LLMs) to boost productivity, accelerate debugging, and maintain high code quality.
• Level II (Engineer II):
• 3+ years of professional Android development, with a strong emphasis on library development, modular frameworks, SDKs, or complex shared utilities intended for third-party consumption.
• Ability to take well-defined technical specifications, break them down into implementation tasks, and complete them with predictable quality and strong team coordination.
• Level III (Senior):
• 6+ years of Android software engineering, with a verified history of building, optimizing, and distributi
