📋 Description

• Direct multiple AI coding agents in parallel to design, build, test, and ship Android features in Kotlin against the Android SDK. • Take total ownership of a slice of the Android app — discovery, scoping, architecture, implementation, QA, release, monitoring, and iteration. • Run an “engineer-as-a-team” workflow — spawn agents for spec drafting, codegen, test generation, code review, refactoring, doc writing, and bug triage, then merge, judge, and ship. • Develop and defend a strong point of view on what good Android code looks like inside Grove’s architecture (Clean Architecture, multi-module Gradle with base/middleware/data/app, MVVM with DataBinding, Koin for DI, Coroutines/Flow, Moshi) so you can critically review AI output and reject what doesn’t meet our bar. • Design prompts, evals, and harnesses that make AI-assisted mobile development repeatable and measurable, not artisanal. • Stand up automation that closes the loop: Fastlane lanes, CircleCI checks, AppCenter/Play Console distribution, device test farms, telemetry-driven rollback, and AI-powered review gates. • Drive architecture decisions with AI as a research and prototyping partner — explore three options in a day instead of one in a week, including the path to introducing Jetpack Compose into a DataBinding/XML codebase. • Collaborate with other engineers on architecture and trade-offs — bring designs for review before you ship them. Solicit business context from PMs, designers, and platform engineers; don’t guess in isolation. • Own production health autonomously — monitor Sentry, Datadog, Cloudflare, and Firebase to assess system health, triage incidents, and re-prioritize your own backlog without being asked. You set the queue; you don’t wait for someone to tell you what’s broken. • Mentor the Heady contractor team on AI-native workflows and share learnings with mobile peers. • Triage Sentry crashes, hotfix, and root-cause incidents with AI-assisted investigation and remediation (we already run Sentry’s auto-fix agent — you’ll push it further).

🎯 Requirements

• 5–8 years of professional Android development experience with a portfolio of shipped consumer apps at scale. • Native, demonstrable fluency with modern AI coding tooling (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Codex, agentic workflows) — you can walk us through a feature you shipped where AI did the majority of the coding and you did the orchestration. • Strong, opinionated taste in Kotlin and modern Android architecture (Clean Architecture, MVVM, multi-module Gradle, Koin for DI, Coroutines/Flow, Moshi) — and a clear point of view on when MVI or Compose is worth introducing. • Comfort working in a DataBinding/XML codebase today, with the judgment to drive a phased Compose migration when and where it’s worth it (not a rewrite-from-scratch reflex). • Experience integrating with REST + JSON:API-style backends and the Shopify Buy/Checkout SDKs at consumer scale. • A bias toward owning end-to-end outcomes rather than handing off work at team boundaries — paired with the judgment to know when to pull another engineer in for an architecture review or business-context check. • Genuinely autonomous in operation: you read Sentry/Datadog/Firebase/Cloudflare dashboards on your own, prioritize your own queue, and don’t need a manager to surface what’s on fire. • Comfort writing prompts, evals, and guardrails — you treat AI as a system to be engineered, not a search box. • Sharp written communication — specify clearly, review rigorously, and explain decisions to teammates. You’ll drive async standups, design reviews, and Slack debugging sessions with a distributed team. • A collaborative, ego-light disposition — orchestrators thrive when they care more about the result than the byline, and welcome a sharp design critique from a peer.

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive benefits - medical, vision, dental • Equity - shared success is core to our mission • Flexible Paid Time Off - we care most about results • Free VIP membership and 50% employee discount • Working for a company that believes that a small group of people can change the world for the better by creating products and funding initiatives that help the planet!
