We’re on the verge of solving one of the biggest challenges in education – making high-quality, personalised learning accessible to everyone. We launched our app on iOS in February 2026, and we’re now looking for a Senior Android developer to lead development of an Android version and unlock a whole new user-base!
What you will do:

- Design and implement a high-scale Android app for millions of users.
- Build convenient CI/CD processes and testing pipelines to support quick iterative development and app stability.
- Research and make decisions about the Android technological stack and app architecture, considering all trade-offs.
- Work closely with our ML team to integrate models into the mobile experience and build robust data pipelines.
- Build features that work with large amounts of data in different modalities (text, video, images, audio).
- Work in a very cross-functional team, side by side with our iOS and backend developers, product managers, ML engineers, and designers.
Essential skills:
- Experience building high-quality Android applications from scratch.
- Strong proficiency with Kotlin.
- Deep experience with Jetpack Compose.
- Strong knowledge of coroutines, multithreading and concurrency.
- Requirements gathering & architecture planning (trade-off management).
- Clean code practices.
- Best practices in consuming scalable mobile APIs (REST, HTTPS, etc.).
- Experience working with Java.
- Experience with iOS development (helpful for flexibility with features and priorities).
- Currently speak, or learning to speak, more than one language.
- Experience in developing educational products.
- Knowledge-sharing experience (tech talks, articles, YouTube videos, etc.).
What we can offer:
- A real-deal startup adventure: you'll be hopping on a major project while it's still in the works!
- Freedom to suggest, implement, and test ideas.
- A crew all about people and products.
