• Coordinate cross-platform release cycles with WebSDK and other mobile platforms to ensure synchronized, scalable, and consistent product updates.
• Translate complex product and design requirements into precise technical specifications, using concrete examples such as repro steps, header values, and min SDK implications to bridge gaps between teams.
• Engage directly with enterprise customers—including Microsoft, DoorDash, Notion, Figma, Coinbase, and TripAdvisor—to understand their integration challenges and improve SDK usability.
• Contribute to product roadmap discussions by identifying technical opportunities and constraints that influence feature development and customer outcomes.
• Maintain rigorous documentation for SDK usage, integration guides, and release notes to support external developers and internal stakeholders.
• Mentor cross-functional engineering colleagues on Android best practices, performance optimization, and SDK architecture principles.
• Stay current with industry trends and evolving Android platform standards to ensure Sprig’s SDK remains at the forefront of mobile instrumentation technology.
• Ensure all SDK code meets stringent security, privacy, and compliance requirements for handling user behavior data in consumer applications.
• Participate in on-call rotations to monitor SDK health and respond to critical incidents affecting live integrations.
• Champion engineering excellence by introducing automated testing, CI/CD improvements, and observability tooling tailored to SDK deployment environments.
• Work three days per week in the San Francisco office to collaborate closely with core engineering, product, and design teams.

🎯 Requirements

• Minimum 5+ years of experience developing on Android platforms
• Deep understanding of Android Application/Activity contexts, process death, and OEM-specific quirks
• Proactive focus on startup performance, memory usage, ANRs, and main-thread discipline using crash analytics and logging for proactive SDK improvements
• Experience owning SDK versioning, deprecations, and public API contracts with clear documentation and backward compatibility practices
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills to translate between product, design, and web teams using technical examples
• Comfort working in a cross-platform environment with Flutter and React Native SDKs (bonus)
