Staff Android Engineer (Founding)

Join Grow Therapy as a Staff Android Engineer, where you'll have end-to-end ownership of building our native Android app. You'll set the technical direction, design the architecture, and ship consumer-facing features. This is a hands-on role in an AI-forward engineering organization, and you'll work closely with product, design, and backend teams. Enjoy benefits like unlimited PTO, a remote office setup stipend, and wellness stipends.

Responsibilities

• Design the architecture and technical foundations for Grow's native Android app, from project structure and state management through build, testing, and release infrastructure.
• Ship consumer-facing features on that foundation, building the experiences that help clients discover care, connect with providers, and manage their care journey between sessions.
• Set coding standards, tooling, and engineering practices for Android, and evolve them as the team grows around you.
• You have 8+ years of software engineering experience, the majority in native Android development with Kotlin, spanning both platform/architecture work and consumer-facing feature development
• You have led the technical direction for an Android app or platform from an early or 0-to-1 stage, or through a major re-architecture: you chose the architecture, stood up the tooling, shipped to production, and are comfortable making those calls with incomplete information and no established playbook
• You have a personal connection to mental health care or a strong pull toward Grow's mission
• You have a considered view on Kotlin Multiplatform and shared-code strategies, grounded in something you've shipped or evaluated
• You've built mobile apps in a regulated or healthcare setting, with real attention to sensitive data and accessibility
• You've helped uplevel an Android team around you through hiring, mentoring, and standards others adopted

Requirements

• You use AI development tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) as a core part of how you build, and have grounded opinions on where they help and where they don't
• You have strong product instincts and a genuine ability to partner with product and design, connecting technical decisions to what users actually experience
• You have production depth in modern Android: Jetpack Compose, Kotlin coroutines and Flow, dependency injection, modularization, and Gradle build tooling, and a considered testing strategy
