About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Design and build high-quality Android growth features and experiments — across onboarding, activation, feature awareness, subscription conversion, and retention — running dozens of concurrent tests across the Life360 app.
Partner with product, design, data science, and analytics to translate hypotheses into shippable experiments, and turn results into the next decision.
Work with AI (Claude Code) as a first-class collaborator — your primary workflow involves orchestrating agents to create specs, generate Kotlin code and tests, verify results, and perform reviews.
Instrument experiments accurately — exposure logging and analytics — so the results downstream teams rely on are trustworthy.
Ship polished, performant, and reliable Android experiences to tens of millions of users — with strong attention to startup time, memory, battery, ANR, and crash-free rates.
Help define and codify AI-Native Android engineering practices for the team, establishing playbooks the broader mobile org can adopt.
Contribute to architectural decisions, code reviews, and a culture of craft and continuous improvement on the Android codebase.
Participate in on-call rotation and incident response for mobile experiments and releases.
Use agentic workflows to dramatically increase the delivery of strong outcomes — moving faster without sacrificing quality.
Mentor team members and contribute to team processes, technical standards, and help evolve the team's AI-native engineering practices.
Support performance, reliability, and accessibility across the Android features you own.

Requirements

What you’ll need

6+ years of Android software engineering experience shipping production apps at consumer scale.
At least 1 year of hands-on experience prompting, evaluating, and building with LLMs.
Strong proficiency with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose (and the Android View system); deep familiarity with the modern Android toolchain (Android Studio, Kotlin Coroutines, Flow).
Experience with Android architecture patterns (MVVM, MVI, Clean Architecture, Jetpack/ViewModel/Navigation, Hilt or Dagger) in a large, multi-team codebase.
Comfort with mobile experimentation concepts: feature flagging, A/B testing, exposure logging, holdouts, and guardrail metrics.
Solid grounding in mobile performance, memory, battery, ANR, and crash diagnostics (Android Studio Profiler, Perfetto/Systrace, Macrobenchmark, Crashlytics or equivalent).
Experience with CI/CD for Android (Gradle, Fastlane, GitHub Actions, Bitrise, or similar) and modular build systems (Gradle modules, Maven).
Deep experience with agentic workflows, prompt engineering, context-window management, and MCP/function calling — you understand the research-plan-implement cycle but don't outsource thinking to agents.
Bachelor's degree in a technical field, or equivalent experience.
