About the role
- As a Staff Android Engineer on Cash App Consumer Platform, you are a multiplier for the entire client engineering discipline.
- Your work shapes how hundreds of Builders build and how millions of customers experience Cash App.
Responsibilities
- Own and evolve foundational Android infrastructure: modularization, dependency injection, navigation, deep linking, and app lifecycle systems
- Design and deliver shared libraries and frameworks that feature teams rely on daily with developer and AI ergonomics as a first-class concern
- Drive Cash App's Android architecture forward, making high-leverage decisions that compound over time
- Invent thoughtful Android platform tech and open source it where it creates value for the broader community
- Develop and steward rapid experimentation in support of the fast iteration enabled by the AI world
- Build upon observability and performance tooling that gives engineers and on-callers clarity and confidence
- Partner with iOS, Web, and backend engineers to deliver consistent, high-quality cross-platform experiences
- Evolve how Cash App's Android engineering org uses AI
- Proactively identify where AI creates real leverage in platform and product engineering workflows, and act on it
- Introduce and evaluate emerging AI development tools (Claude Code, GPT/Codex, Goose, and what comes next), forming a clear point of view on adoption
Requirements
- Platform or infrastructure builder's mindset. You've built systems for engineers as your customers, and you care deeply about developer experience
- A high agency mindset - if you see a problem you take the initiative to find a solution
- 10+ years of Android development experience with a demonstrated track record of impact at organizational scope
- BA/BS degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience
- Proven organizational leadership. You've driven large-scale technical initiatives across multiple teams and left systems meaningfully better
- AI-native development practice - You actively use AI-assisted development tools and have a strong, evolving point of view on where AI creates real leverage in engineering - and where it falls short
- Strong systems thinking - You identify non-obvious problems and design solutions that are simple enough to be right
- Exceptional communication - crisp design docs, productive design reviews, and the ability to build alignment across senior engineers and non-engineers alike
- Deep Android expertise - Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, modern architecture patterns, build systems, performance profiling, and testing at scale
Preferred qualifications
- Experience building developer platforms, shared libraries, or internal tooling used across large engineering organizations
- Experience with Kotlin Multiplatform
- Background in fintech, financial services, or other high-trust regulated environments
- Experience with mobile experimentation infrastructure, feature flagging, or A/B testing at scale
- A track record of identifying and naming problems that weren't yet on anyone's roadmap
Benefits
- Remote work
- Medical insurance
- Flexible time off
- Retirement savings plans
- Modern family planning
Workplace
- We've been a distributed team since day one, and many of our roles can be done remotely from the countries where Cash App operates.
