Software Development Engineer II - Android

Mobile Development

• Design, develop, test, and maintain Android applications using Kotlin and modern Android development practices.

• Translate Figma designs into high-fidelity Android UI - faithfully matching spacing, typography, colors, corner radii, and animation behavior.

• Build smooth, performant animations that feel native and polished. Respect platform conventions and accessibility settings (e.g., Reduce Motion).

• Own features end-to-end from requirements and design through deployment and monitoring.

Technical Contribution

• Engage actively in architecture and design discussions, lending your expertise to implement scalable, secure, and high-performance mobile solutions.

• Implement modern Android architectures, including MVVM, Clean Architecture, and modular design patterns.

• Drive improvements in application performance, reliability, maintainability, and security.

AI-Assisted Engineering

• Actively leverage AI-assisted development tools such as Cursor, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or equivalent as part of day-to-day software development.

• Use AI for code generation, debugging, refactoring, test creation, documentation, code reviews, and development acceleration.

• Demonstrate strong engineering judgment by reviewing, validating, and improving AI-generated code before production use.

• Contribute to Safe s AI-first engineering culture and continuously identify opportunities to improve engineering productivity through AI-assisted workflows.

Code Review

• Conduct thorough code reviews to maintain code quality, identify opportunities for improvement, and share constructive feedback with team members.

Problem Solving

• Proactively identify gaps, ambiguities, or missing specifications in designs and requirements - propose solutions rather than waiting for clarification.

• Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues, identifying root causes and implementing effective solutions.

• Analyze production issues and implement preventive measures to improve application stability, reliability, and performance.

Collaboration

• Collaborate with the iOS team to ensure visual and behavioral consistency across platforms.

• Collaborate closely with Product Managers, Designers, Backend Engineers, Architects, and other stakeholders to ensure alignment between technical solutions and business objectives.

• Work effectively across teams to deliver seamless user experiences.

Project Execution

• Play a key role in project planning, execution, and timely delivery of features, ensuring adherence to project timelines and scope.

• Take ownership of deliverables and drive projects from conception to production.

• Bachelor s or Master s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.

• 3-5 years of professional experience in Android application development.

• Strong proficiency in Kotlin and Android SDK.

• Experience building and shipping production-grade Android applications.

• Strong understanding of Android architecture patterns, including MVVM, Clean Architecture, and modular application design.

• Experience with Jetpack Compose and modern Android UI development.

• Hands-on experience with Coroutines, Flow, and asynchronous programming.

• Experience with Hilt dependency injection framework.

• Experience in consuming RESTful APIs and integrating backend services.

• Strong understanding of mobile application performance optimization and debugging.

• Experience with local persistence technologies such as Room.

• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and modern software development practices.

• Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development tools such as Cursor, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or equivalent.

• Strong understanding of software engineering fundamentals and the ability to critically evaluate, validate, and improve AI-generated code.

• Experience participating in technical design discussions and architecture decisions.

• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment with high ownership.

• Strong problem-solving and debugging skills.

• Experience in converting Figma designs to production screens.

• Experience with custom drawing and data visualization on Android (Canvas API, custom Compose drawing, or charting libraries).

• Experience building enterprise SaaS applications.

• Experience with Sentry observability tools.

• Experience with KMP (Kotlin Multiplatform).

• Knowledge of mobile security best practices, authentication, OAuth, SSO, and JWT.

• Experience working with cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure.

• Experience building AI-native applications or integrating AI/LLM-powered capabilities into mobile applications.

• Familiarity with cybersecurity products, enterprise security workflows, or risk management platforms.
