About the Role

As a Staff Android Engineer, you will build and ship features for high-traffic news apps in a Kotlin-first codebase, iterating in small increments and measuring impact in production. You will own problems end-to-end, from architecture decisions to testing, CI/CD, rollout, and on-call reliability. You will join Axel Springer Tech in Berlin, the team behind the digital products and mobile apps for our national news brands BILD and WELT.

Responsibilities

Own the end-to-end development of top-rated Android apps using Kotlin, Coroutines/Flow, Jetpack Compose, Dagger/Hilt, Retrofit, and Espresso.
Design and evolve a modular architecture that remains maintainable over years and performs reliably under high traffic.
Advance automation by building, testing, releasing, and rolling out pipelines as a first-class part of the product (CI/CD).
Act as a technical multiplier by raising quality standards in reviews, coaching teammates, and sharing knowledge across Android teams.
Shape features from idea to release with product, design, and editorial stakeholders, optimizing for user value, reliability, and speed.
Explore and apply AI-assisted development tooling to improve developer productivity and quality, with a clear engineering rationale.

Requirements

8+ years of hands-on Android engineering experience, including multiple shipped apps at scale.
Strong Kotlin (and solid Java) skills; deep knowledge of Jetpack libraries; practical experience with MVVM/Clean Architecture.
Expertise in Coroutines/Flow, dependency injection, and disciplined unit/integration testing.
Experience with multi-module codebases and patterns that enable parallel development and long-term maintainability.
Drive performance and build system maturity by applying Baseline Profiles, Gradle convention plugins, or equivalent practices.
A strong CI and CD mindset with a focus on automation, testing, and release engineering as integral parts of product development.
Clear communication in cross-functional teams (PM, design, backend).
