Opportunity to conduct architecture review during design sprint.
Nice‑to‑have experience with media/publishing apps and ad SDKs.

Role overview

You will join our client’s mobile team as an embedded engineer building new features for their flagship Android news app. You’ll work inside a Jira board, attend their standups, and ship code alongside their internal team. They handle back-end services; you own the native Kotlin layer. Android ships after iOS in a first‑and‑follow cadence, so you’ll benefit from design and product decisions already validated on the iOS side.

Responsibilities

Work inside the Jira board, attend standups, and ship code alongside the internal team.
Own the native Kotlin layer of the flagship Android news app.
Build a redesigned home screen with dynamic, personalizable content feeds.
Revamp navigation across the app.
Integrate audio for continuous/background play.
Implement vertical video playback.
Develop Food and Sports brand destinations, including a Discover map and live scoreboards.
Embed web views for games, puzzles, and interactive content from the CMS.
Conduct an architecture review of the existing ~19K‑line Kotlin codebase during the design sprint.

Requirements

5+ years of production Kotlin experience in consumer‑facing Android apps.

Experience with GraphQL clients, specifically Apollo Kotlin SDK.
REST API integration experience with Retrofit and Moshi.
WebView integration and JavaScript bridge patterns (addJavascriptInterface).
Gradle Kotlin DSL build configuration with product flavors.
Comfortable working inside an existing codebase with an established team.

Experience with media or publishing apps (news, streaming, content‑heavy products).
Ad SDK integration experience (Google Ad Manager, Prebid, Amazon APS).
Firebase experience (Analytics, Remote Config, Cloud Messaging, Crashlytics).
Auth0 authentication flows on Android.
Google Maps SDK and location services.
AndroidX DataStore (preferences + proto).
