Senior Android Engineer

Remote mobile roles on HireSkys cover native iOS and Android as well as cross-platform work with React Native and Flutter. Check whether the listing asks for store deployments or a specific framework, and compare it with your own shipped apps before applying.

You will own Epic’s native Android app, the primary platform for kids to access books on Android phones, tablets, and Chromebooks. This is a large, mature codebase written in Kotlin with some Java and XML UI layouts. You’ll work independently and closely with Android, iOS, backend, and web engineers, as well as the US engineering team.

* Own and evolve the Android app across phones, tablets, and Chromebooks.

* Own the reading experience, including in-house page rendering, page-flip animations, zoom and gestures, and Read-to-Me audio synced with word highlighting.

* Manage offline reading features, including encrypted downloads, background work, and local storage. Handle Google Play Billing subscriptions and the Play Store release pipeline.

* Drive performance, stability, and quality by optimizing startup time, memory usage, ANRs, crashes, and test coverage.

* Modernize the codebase by gradually moving legacy Java and RxJava code forward without breaking the live app. Transition to Jetpack Compose UIs where applicable.

* Over time, take on some iOS/Swift work.
