The Android Engineer will design and build Android applications, lead projects, ensure code quality, and collaborate with UI designers and teams.
At Livefront, we help companies design and build world-class digital products that command attention and inspire joy. We’ve helped household names like Target, Samsung, General Mills, and Optum create experiences that have reached millions of people, and startups like HomeSpotter and Acclaim build entirely new businesses that challenge their industries’ status quo.
We’re looking for an outstanding senior-level Android Engineer to join our team.
Who you are
You’re a curious, proactive mobile engineer with a fluent command of the latest Java and/or Kotlin APIs. You have a knack for writing readable, maintainable code and know how to balance getting it done with getting it right. You have a track record of leading technically ambitious projects to timely completion and don’t shy away from big engineering challenges. You have an eye for detail and enjoy collaborating with UI designers to implement intricate interfaces faithfully. You’re a terrific communicator who can help steer cross-functional teams from idea to implementation. You have a demonstrated ability to approach multifaceted problems holistically and create elegant, simple solutions. Above all, you’re a self-starter who thrives in autonomy and can work effectively with little oversight.

What you bring to the table
- At least 3-5 years of relevant experience, ideally in a consulting environment or as part of an in-house, cross-functional product team.
- Experience building consumer-facing native applications for Android, with a fluent command of the platform’s native languages and core frameworks.
- Work samples showcasing performant, neatly organized code with clean, well-implemented user interfaces.
- Mastery of modern software development best practices, tools, and workflows.
- Excellent communication skills and a strong ability to present and defend technical and architectural choices persuasively.

- Obvious comfort with critique and peer review in the context of an iterative software development process.
- Experience leading and/or mentoring other engineers.
- A demonstrated hunger for personal and professional growth.

- Enjoy tinkering with emerging languages and platforms such as Go, Rust, Alexa, and/or Unity.
- Have publicly released your own personal, self-started products or apps.
- Speak, write, and/or educate publicly about technical topics.
