Staff Android Engineer

Overview

Staff Android Engineer to own and evolve the Android architecture and mobile-facing foundations behind AlphaSense's SuperAnalyst workflows, as a hands-on Staff role with significant architectural ownership and platform-level leverage.

What you'll do

• Define the Android architecture, modular boundaries, and native engineering patterns that make AlphaSense experiences fast, reliable, secure, and easier to evolve as the product grows.
• Turn complex product and platform problems into durable production architecture grounded in deep Android expertise and modern Android platform practices.
• Shape how Android work is designed, reviewed, tested, shipped, and operated, including the automation, observability, rollout practices, and AI-enabled validation needed to move quickly with confidence.
• Partner with iOS, backend, product, and design to clarify API behavior, ownership boundaries, and platform expectations that protect native product quality without pushing hidden complexity into Android.
• Turn complex mobile-system work into reusable standards and stronger engineering judgment for the teams building native experiences.

What you'll need

• Deep expertise in modern production Android architecture, with a track record of setting technical standards for a platform, product area, or native mobile domain.
• Ability to represent mobile platform principles from a deep Android base, with enough iOS fluency to shape cross-functional architecture decisions where backend, web, and product choices affect identity, reliability, release quality, observability, and native product outcomes.
• Experience shaping mobile-facing platform contracts, API behavior, or backend service boundaries that improve product quality across native client experiences.
• Ability to read, debug, and make targeted contributions to backend systems when needed to unblock mobile-facing outcomes.
• Experience shaping AI-enabled engineering systems that improve validation, product quality, and delivery confidence for Android and broader mobile outcomes.
• Strong reliability and release-quality judgment across production mobile systems, with experience raising quality standards for a platform or product area.
• Track record making engineers around you better by turning complex mobile-system work into clear standards, reusable patterns, and stronger technical judgment across teams.
• Excellent product judgment and communication skills, including the ability to connect technical decisions to customer outcomes and align teams around durable technical decisions.

Nice to have

• Experience building Android product experiences across varied device and form-factor contexts, such as foldables, wearables, Android Auto, or other platform-native surfaces.
• Experience with enterprise mobile environments where identity, device management, compliance, or security constraints shape architecture, including MDM/EMM.
• Experience shaping mobile design-system foundations and design-to-code workflows that improve consistency, accessibility, development velocity, and AI-assisted UI generation across native platforms.
