Android Engineer

• 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).
