Description

Lead a feature squad to add new features to our flagship E*TRADE Android application. Own end-to-end design and delivery of complex mobile features and platform capabilities. Construct, enhance, and troubleshoot native Android applications in an agile, collaborative environment. Write production Kotlin daily; set and enforce standards for readability, testability, performance, and security; champion automated quality gates (static analysis, code metrics, coverage thresholds). Align closely with Product, Design, Platform, and Backend teams to balance feasibility, scope, and quality. Coach engineers through design reviews, pair programming, and constructive feedback; help grow future technical leaders. Partner with security/compliance teams to ensure safe handling of credentials, secure networking, anti-tampering, and threat modeling in a regulated environment. Advocate for build speed reductions, test parallelization, dependency hygiene, and release pipeline optimizations. Translate technical decisions and risks into clear, actionable context for non-technical partners and leadership. Qualifications 10+ years of professional experience building and maintaining large-scale Android applications. Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent practical experience. Expert-level Kotlin (including Coroutines, Flows, inline & higher-order functions, generics, sealed hierarchies). Deep experience with Jetpack Compose. Strong grasp of Android Architecture Components (MVVM, Navigation, Room), dependency injection (e.g., Dagger/Hilt), modularization strategies, and clean architectural principles. Proven success leading technical design for multi-sprint initiatives and coordinating delivery across multiple contributors. Advanced concurrency, threading, and synchronization knowledge. Proven experience with unit testing and UI testing frameworks. Demonstrated track record of high productivity in application architecture, design, coding, and debugging. Fluency with Git-based branching strategies, code review best practices, and CI systems (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or similar). Strong understanding of mobile performance, latency, and security issues, with hands-on experience using performance analysis tools. Solid grasp of current technological trends, best practices in information security, wireless network architecture, mobile technologies, and related concepts.
