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).

Software Engineer – Android

• Architect, design, and ship Android solutions that run 24/7 on restaurant hardware - including fully offline, under network loss, with zero tolerance for data loss on transactions.
• Lead the reliability and resilience strategy for our Android platform: observability, fault tolerance, graceful degradation, crash-free rate targets, and disaster recovery.
• Drive performance work end-to-end - cold start, frame time, memory, battery, binary size, and local database throughput - with measurable outcomes.
• Set the bar for how our team uses AI in daily engineering work. Integrate tools like Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and internal agents into your own workflow, and help codify the patterns (prompts, agent instructions, MCP integrations, evaluation approaches) that make the rest of the team faster and more rigorous.
• Partner with Product, Design, Backend, Firmware, and Payments to translate restaurant operator problems into technical direction, and communicate trade-offs clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
• Mentor senior and mid-level engineers through design reviews, code reviews, pairing, and written technical guidance. Raise the team's ceiling, not just your own output.
• Own the full lifecycle: requirements, design docs, implementation, testing, rollout, monitoring, and iteration.
• Evaluate new technologies (including AI-augmented tooling, frameworks, and libraries) and make clear recommendations on what to adopt, what to defer, and why.
