About the Role
We’re looking for an Android Engineer who doesn’t just write code — you build products that people open every single day. You’ll own key parts of the Replika experience on Android, from architecture to polish, shipping features that directly shape how millions of people interact with their AI companion. We’re rebuilding the app from the ground up. New architecture, new UI, new everything. You’ll be working closely with AI, Design, and Product teams to create something that genuinely improves users’ lives — and you’ll have the autonomy to move fast, experiment, and ship without red tape. If you care about craft, obsess over performance, and want to build something that actually matters to real people, keep reading.
