Staff Software Engineer – Android

• Define and drive the multi-year architectural roadmap for our Android applications. You will ensure our "offline-first" capabilities and real-time data syncing remain reliable, scalable, and continuously improving as we scale.
• Lead high-impact technical projects that span multiple squads, such as modularizing our codebase, optimizing local data persistence (Room/SQLite), or overhauling our UI layer with Jetpack Compose.
• Take ownership of the stability and performance of our hospitality suite. You’ll design systems that are resilient to the high-pressure, 24/7 environment of a commercial kitchen.
• Act as a mentor to Senior and Mid-level engineers. You will set the standard for code quality, documentation, and automated testing, fostering a culture of technical excellence.
• Work with Engineering, Product, Design, and leadership to evaluate feasibility, shape roadmap decisions, and align technical investments with customer and business outcomes.
• Partner with enablement teams to improve CI/CD, automated testing, failure analysis, and responsible use of AI-assisted engineering tools.

• Architect and build reusable Android components, patterns, and infrastructure using Kotlin and modern Android frameworks
• Evolve the Android design system to help developers build faster and more effectively
• Build and maintain tooling that helps teams generate design-system-compliant Android code
• Uphold a high bar for code quality through technical design, code reviews, testing, and maintainable implementation practices
• Manage the component library release lifecycle
• Partner with engineers, designers, and product teams to resolve integration challenges
• Create clear documentation and guidance

Senior Software Development Engineer, Android

Staff Software Engineer, Android

• 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).

AI-First Android Engineer

• Develop software using Agile methodologies, such as Scrum
• Analyze requirements and collaborate with architects and senior engineers to produce thoughtful software designs of moderate scope and complexity
• Participate in peer reviews and pull requests to yield high quality software
• Present software concepts, designs, or code in a design review forum
• Provide mentoring and coaching to junior engineers to increase the software development capability of the mobile team
• Collaborate and work creatively with the user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) teams to provide requirements traceability from definition to implementation
• Lead and contribute to technical discussions in community of practice, design review, or other technical meeting forums
• Work with offshore teams to design and develop features and burn down technical debt
• Adhere to coding standards and other best practices to create reusable code
• Responsible for complying with the security requirements set forth by the Information Security team and the established ISO 27001 Security Roles, Responsibilities, and Authorities Document found in the ISMS Document Library
• Comply with health and safety guidelines and rules; managers should also ensure compliance across their teams.
• Protect Chamberlain Group’s reputation by keeping information confidential.
• Maintain professional and technical knowledge by attending educational workshops, reading professional publications, establishing personal networks, and participating in professional societies.
• Contribute to the team effort by accomplishing related results and participating on projects as needed.
