Salary: $195,000 – $290,000/yr
Type: Full-time
This role is ideal for a seasoned Android developer with at least 5 years of experience who excels at building fluid, high-performance mobile interfaces. Despite the "Entry-level" label in the metadata, the description clearly requires a senior-level profile capable of owning features from concept to launch within a fast-moving, international expansion team. You should be an expert in the modern Android stack, specifically Kotlin and Jetpack Compose. The compensation is standout, ranging from **$195,000 to $290,000/year**, and includes unique perks like a "dogfooding" budget to buy items on the platform. While the role is listed as remote, it is **"remote co-located,"** meaning you must live within commuting distance of the **New York City hub** for periodic in-person collaboration and planning sessions. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have 5+ years of experience and a deep mastery of Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, and Coroutines. * Thrive in high-growth environments where you use data (SQL/Snowflake) to drive product decisions. * Enjoy "full-stack" mobility—collaborating on backend trade-offs and shared infrastructure. * Want to build features that scale across international markets like the UK, Germany, and Australia.
