We design, build and support the Android app for millions of DAUs and the development ecosystem (libraries, frameworks, observability, and build/CI tooling) that every team uses to ship delightful Reddit experiences. As a Staff Android Engineer on the Android Platform team, you’ll set technical direction and lead cross-team initiatives for a large, multi‑team Android codebase, with a core focus on three pillars: Client Health (Crashes/ANRs/Performance), Developer Experiences, and App Architecture (modern and opinionated). You’ll turn ambiguous platform problems into a multi-quarter roadmap, align engineering partners, and stay hands-on from design and implementation through rollout and adoption. What you’ll do • Lead technical decisions that will scale Reddit’s Android Platform to the next 100M+ DAUs, balancing long-term platform health with product delivery. • Drive Developer Experience strategy to accelerate build and test cycles and improve release safety across teams. • Architect Android Client Health and Observability foundations (events, traces, dashboards) to empower engineering teams to safeguard performance and reliability. • Champion AI supercharged developer and agent workflows. • Provide technical leadership and mentorship to senior engineers, elevating engineering standards across teams through architectural reviews, documentation, and technical guidance. What we expect from you • 5+ years software development experience with 3+ years building Android applications, with a track record of leading complex Android initiatives from problem definition through delivery and sustained adoption. • Experience setting technical direction and delivering shared platform capabilities in a large Android codebase used by multiple teams and millions of daily active users. • Deep expertise in Kotlin, Android lifecycle and concurrency, and modern Android technologies such as Jetpack Compose and Kotlin coroutines, with sound judgment about architectural tradeoffs and migration strategies. • Strong background in Android platform/infrastructure work: shared libraries or frameworks, experiments/logging, navigation, startup/session orchestration, or core networking/caching. • Strong systems thinking and hands-on problem solving, with evidence of measurable improvements to app reliability, performance, or developer productivity. • Ability to influence without formal authority, build consensus across engineering, product, design, and data partners, and communicate technical strategy and tradeoffs clearly. • Practical experience applying AI to engineering workflows (code generation, refactoring, static analysis, or CI checks) with clear, measurable benefit.
