Senior Mobile AI-first Engineer

📋 Description

• • Architect and deliver the next-generation Android KMP mobile platform that restoration professionals rely on in the field—where connectivity is spotty, lighting is poor, and every minute counts. You will own the end-to-end lifecycle of features that turn smartphones into intelligent documentation tools, guiding users through complex insurance claims with AI-driven prompts, real-time validation, and offline-first resilience.
• • Act as the orchestrator in an AI-first squad: you will prompt, review, and refine code generated by Cursor, Claude Code, and GitHub Copilot, ensuring architectural coherence, test coverage, and pixel-perfect UI. Rather than typing boilerplate, you will focus on high-leverage decisions—choosing the right Compose Multiplatform abstractions, defining state machines, and tuning performance for low-end Android devices used by thousands of contractors daily.
• • Ship features that translate directly to measurable business impact: reduce average claim-documentation time by 30 %, cut re-shoot rates by 50 %, and increase Net Promoter Score by 15 points within your first year. You will instrument every screen with system-level observability (OpenTelemetry, Firebase Crashlytics, LaunchDarkly feature flags) so that data, not intuition, drives the roadmap.
• • Champion a design-system-first mindset, extending and refining a Jetpack Compose component library that works seamlessly across Android phones, rugged tablets, and—via Compose Multiplatform—future iOS targets. Your components must survive dusty job sites, glove-friendly touch targets, and extreme temperature swings while still feeling modern and delightful.
• • Collaborate daily with product managers, UX researchers, and field technicians in North America, often joining virtual ride-alongs to watch restoration crews use your app in burning buildings and flooded basements. These empathy sessions feed directly into rapid prototyping sprints where you validate ideas within 48 hours using AI-generated code and Firebase Remote Config.
• • Lead technical spikes on emerging AI capabilities—on-device ML for damage classification, LLM-powered voice note transcription, and predictive caching for offline mode. You will evaluate feasibility, build proof-of-concepts, and present findings to the CTO and external venture partners, influencing six-figure budget decisions.
• • Mentor mid-level engineers through pair-orchestration sessions: instead of traditional pairing, you will guide them in crafting effective prompts, reviewing AI outputs, and applying critical thinking to ensure security, accessibility, and performance. Your weekly tech talks will become the gold standard for AI-assisted development across the company.
• • Establish and enforce mobile excellence standards: 95 % unit test coverage for business logic, <150 ms cold-start time on Android Go devices, and WCAG 2.2 AA compliance. You will automate these checks in CI using GitHub Actions, Danger, and Detekt, turning quality gates into a competitive advantage.
• • Own release management for the Android KMP app, coordinating staged rollouts via Google Play Console, monitoring crash-free rates, and orchestrating hot-fixes within hours when hurricanes or wildfires spike usage. Your on-call rotation is compensated and supported by runbooks generated with AI assistance, ensuring sustainable 24/7 reliability.
• • Contribute to open-source projects that the team depends on—whether upstreaming Compose Multiplatform fixes, publishing Kotlin libraries for offline-first sync, or sharing post-mortems on the company tech blog. Your thought leadership will attract top-tier talent and reinforce our reputation as the most innovative proptech employer in Europe.
