About the Role
Join our mission to transform the way people shop and eat, where impact, innovation and growth drive everything we do. Our Engineering teams tackle complex technical challenges across a global, three-sided marketplace, building and scaling systems that serve millions of customers, riders and partners every day. We’re looking for a Senior Android Engineer to join our SDUI team. In this role, you’ll help us build and scale our server-driven UI (SDUI) platform, enabling teams to build a UI once and have it deploy seamlessly to iOS, Android, and Web without redeploying a new app — performantly and consistently.
Responsibilities
- Drive technical execution by designing, building, and evolving the Android SDUI renderer and the backend services that feed it.
- Lead architectural improvements and code reviews, ensuring the maintainability, visibility, and operational health of the renderer.
- Partner with cross-functional disciplines to plan rollouts, align on platform decisions, and influence the roadmap.
- Own large-scale initiatives from design to delivery, including bringing SDUI motion and interaction quality to native-equivalent.
- Support the growth of others by mentoring colleagues and taking an active role in our engineering hiring process.
Requirements
- 5+ years building Android applications at scale.
- Deep understanding of Kotlin and Jetpack Compose.
- Backend development experience with Golang, Kotlin, and Protobuf.
- Comfort moving between client and server code.
- Experience building or maintaining a server-driven / declarative UI system.
- Keen interest in pushing what's possible with declarative rendering.
- Product mindset and the instinct to apply it to platform services.
- Demonstrated ownership of technical delivery within cross-functional teams.
- Strong communication skills, working across time zones with counterparts.
- Pride in software craft, with a commitment to writing readable, well-designed, and thoroughly tested mobile code.
