The team

We’re on a mission to take our mobile app to the next level, and we’re looking for someone to help shape the future of our Android experience in Kotlin. Joining the Mobile Platform team, you’ll work on the technical foundations that power the app — from architecture and shared libraries to core experiences, build systems, and analytics infrastructure.

What they're looking for
