• Champion trunk-based development practices integrated with JIRA and Git workflows. Automate common engineering tasks to enable fast feedback cycles, clean merges, and frequent, safe releases.

• Lead the entire Android release lifecycle—from coordinating App Store approvals to managing phased rollouts and feature flag configurations. Own the stability and success of every production launch.

• Implement and maintain real-time dashboards, alerting systems, and diagnostics using tools like Firebase Crashlytics, Sentry, and others to ensure post-release health and visibility.

• Collaborate with iOS counterparts to align release schedules, monitoring strategies, and feature flag gating—ensuring consistency across platforms.

What you'll bring

• 4+ years of experience building, automating and releasing android applications at scale.

• Expert level knowledge of android build tools and systems, including Android Studio and Gradle.

• Hands-on experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, code quality and test automation.
