About the team
We’re rebuilding how NewsBreak ships mobile software. An in-house auto-dev bot already lands reviewed PRs daily — most merged client PRs start from an agent. Engineers here don’t just write features: they design the architecture, conventions, and guardrails that let humans and AI build together safely, across our flagship app and a matrix of new products (Lite, short-drama, local). This is a builder role with a dual mandate: roughly half your time advances the platform, half ships business impact — and the point is that the first keeps shrinking the cost of the second.

What you’ll do

Architect Android systems — from our flagship app to 0-to-1 new products — so every codebase stays legible to both engineers and AI agents.
Drive modularization: extract shared capabilities so they ship once and run across apps.
Ship user-facing features end-to-end — growth, feed, and new-app product needs — through the same AI-assisted workflow you’re improving: your platform work is measured by how much faster these ship.
Set the quality bar for AI-assisted development: review standards, safety nets, release gates.
Solve the hardest performance and production problems, and turn what you learn into playbooks the whole team builds on.

What we’re looking for

5+ years building Android apps at scale; deep Kotlin, Jetpack Compose.
You’ve owned app-level architecture and lived with the consequences.
You verify before you ship — including (especially) AI-generated code.
Bonus: cross-platform experience (Kotlin Multiplatform, Flutter, or React Native) — our app matrix ships on both platforms.
Bonus: developer tooling / CI quality gates that made a team measurably faster.
