Android developer - HomeIA

We're looking for a contractor to join HomeIA, our team in Core Experience. HomeIA owns some of the most visible parts of the app: onboarding, Home, Recents and Taste Profile.

Most of what we work on is tied to high-priority company bets, from personalization and user control to AI and agentic experiences. We build new things often, and we prototype and experiment a lot. A big share of what we build starts as an experiment, and the results decide what ships, what changes and what gets dropped. We also work with many stakeholders, so priorities can shift quickly and you may switch context more often than on a typical team. Some weeks you'll ship a new experiment, some weeks you'll fix bugs or run a migration, and some weeks you'll do all three. If you like ambiguity, moving fast and seeing your work reach listeners around the world, you'll feel at home here.

You'll work closely with product management, design, data science and insights, and with partner teams across Core Experience. You may also get to lead work that spans several teams.

What you'll do

• Work with our Android, iOS and backend engineers, product manager, data scientist and designers to experiment, iterate and deliver on new product goals.
• Build and ship Android features across Home, Recents, onboarding and Taste Profile, often as experiments that put new ideas in front of listeners quickly.
• Fix bugs, improve quality and keep the surfaces we own healthy and reliable.
• Lead and contribute to migrations and technical improvements so our codebase keeps up with platform changes across the app.
• Write clear, maintainable code that scales across projects and distributed teams.
• Adapt quickly when priorities change, and help the team stay focused and keep delivering when they do.

Who you are

• You're a senior Android engineer with 8+ years of Android development experience.
• You have a deep understanding of modern Android development, app architecture, design patterns and API design.
• You write readable, idiomatic and maintainable Kotlin, and you're happy to follow the team's existing coding guidelines and workflows.
• You care about quality and know what it takes to ship high-quality code.
• You work agentic-first: you have hands-on experience with AI coding tools such as Claude Code or Cursor and use them in your day-to-day development.
• You understand how mobile apps connect end to end with backend systems.
• You're comfortable with experimentation: you can build, ship and iterate on A/B tests quickly, and you stay effective when priorities and context change often.
• You see a discarded experiment as a lesson learned, not wasted work.
• You're an inclusive, collaborative teammate who values team success over personal success.
• You have a continuous-improvement mindset, keep learning and encourage others to do the same.
• Experience with iOS development is a plus, as you may build features on both platforms.
