This is not a typical Android dev role. About 60% of your work is enabler work, fixing CI/CD pipelines, driving Android version migrations, refactoring code, defining architecture standards. The remaining 30% is feature work. 

We are looking for someone who brings strong technical opinions and is not afraid to voice them. 

Platform & Architecture

• Own the Android platform foundation |  stability, scalability, and modernization across all teams.

• Define and drive architectural direction (MVVM, modularization); guide feature teams in making the right calls.

• React first when Google ships major platform or SDK changes and define adoption rules for the rest.

• Evaluate and integrate large third-party libraries 

CI/CD & Automation

• Design, maintain, and optimize pipelines using GitHub Actions and related tooling - ensuring every build is stable, every test runs, and every release is smooth.

• Ensure code from all feature teams reaches the Play Store correctly and reliably.

Shared Tooling

• Develop shared modules and libraries used across all feature teams.

• Collaborate with iOS counterparts to align cross-platform decisions

Tech Stack: Kotlin, Coroutines, Flow

UI & Architecture

• Jetpack Compose - declarative UI, theming per brand, component reuse cross-brand

• MVVM (primary) and MVI for state-intensive screens

• Jetpack: ViewModel, Navigation, StateFlow, DataStore

Build & CI/CD

• Multi-module Gradle

• Kotlin DSL, version catalogs, build caching, configuration cache, dependency constraints

• GitHub Actions for CI/CD pipelines 

• 8+ years of experience with Android mobile application development.

• Expert-level Kotlin - Coroutines & Flow

• Hands-on experience with Jetpack Compose.

• Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines - setup, maintenance, and optimization.

• Comfortable making, defending, and challenging architectural decisions at scale.

• Strong understanding of MVVM & MVI architecture patterns.

• Based in Romania (citizen or long-term resident). 

• Fluent English - written and spoken.

The mindset we're looking for:

• You challenge decisions, offering with arguments and alternatives.

• You're comfortable with shifting priorities.

• You are a systems thinker - you consider the broader impact of a decision before acting on it.

• Comfortable with ambiguity - platform-level problems rarely come with a clear playbook.

• Willingness to travel several times per year for on-site workshops and PI Planning sessions in Germany (Berlin)

Startup culture: Small (~35 people), international, and highly collaborative team.

Full flexibility: Work remotely from anywhere in Romania. Core hours 11:00–16:00 (EET). Office available in Bucharest (Unirii area)

Travel: Quarterly PI Planning sessions in Germany (2–3 days)

Growth: Regular feedback, direct access to tech leads and decision makers. No bureaucracy.
