💰 Compensation: Intern → Equity-based / Founding track

We’re an early-stage startup building a mobile-first, community-driven platform designed to make local, real-world collaboration easier, smarter, and more human.

Both our iOS (SwiftUI) and Android apps are live, with a growing user base and early real-world usage. We’re now focused on strengthening and scaling the Android platform.

We’re looking for a hands-on Android engineer to work alongside and support one of our key Android leads, helping accelerate feature development and improve overall app quality — with a clear path to long-term ownership.

This is a high-trust, high-autonomy opportunity for someone who wants real production experience, real responsibility, and real upside.

You’ll contribute to Android development end-to-end, working closely with our Android lead, founder, and core technical team to evolve a live production app and maintain feature parity with iOS.

• Build and enhance features in the Android app using Kotlin + Jetpack Compose
• Support and collaborate with the Android lead on architecture and implementation
• Maintain and improve feature parity with the iOS SwiftUI app
• Integrate with backend APIs (Node.js, Redis, Firebase Auth, Cloud Run)
• Implement Google Maps SDK for routes, pins, navigation, and trip visualization
• Work with FusedLocationProvider for real-time and background location tracking
• Manage notifications using Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM)
• Handle real-time updates and API data synchronization
• Write clean, maintainable Kotlin code (MVVM / Clean Architecture)
• Contribute to performance, stability, and release readiness

• Have 2–3+ years of experience building native Android apps in Kotlin
• Are comfortable with Jetpack Compose, Coroutines, ViewModels, LiveData
• Have worked with Firebase Auth, Firestore, and FCM
• Have some experience with Google Maps SDK and location services
• Are confident consuming REST APIs and handling app state
• Understand MVVM / Clean Architecture (DI with Hilt is a plus)
• Care about UI/UX quality, performance, and clean code
• Are eager to learn from and collaborate with a senior Android lead
• Want real ownership and growth, not just tasks

• Work closely with a strong Android lead and founding team
• Gain deep experience on a live, real-world product
• Fully remote, async-friendly, flexible schedule
• Clear path to equity and long-term involvement
• Learn fast, build fast, and grow with the company
