Do you ever stare at a mobile app and think about how you would redesign the navigation from scratch to make it actually enjoyable? We are looking for a Senior Android Engineer who loves shaping product direction just as much as writing clean code. At Medium, you are not just another code monkey pushing commits into a void. You will own features from the spark of an idea all the way to production, partnering directly with designers who value your input. If you want to build a writing platform that millions of curious minds rely on every single day, and you enjoy autonomy without endless layers of bureaucracy, this might just be your next home. Best of all, you can do this from anywhere in the world because this role is fully remote.

Overview

Medium is where the world comes to read, write, and share deep ideas. Our engineering team is delightfully small, which means your voice matters and your impact is immediate. We operate on four core principles: Humans First, Deepen Understanding, Orient for Impact, and Ladder Together. You will take charge of our Android experience, shaping how millions of readers and writers interact with quality content on their mobile devices.

Key Responsibilities

Own Android features completely from user discovery to shipping and performance monitoring in the wild.
Partner closely with our design team to craft intuitive, beautiful, and responsive mobile experiences.
Figure out what is actually worth building since we do not have a separate product team handing you rigid tickets.
Navigate vague requests, ask the right questions, and make smart product calls that truly serve our community.
Help evolve our existing Android architecture to keep the codebase robust and maintainable.

Requirements

Extensive professional experience building and scaling Android applications that users love.
A strong product mindset with the ability to define what needs to be built rather than just waiting for instructions.
Comfort working with ambiguity and making sound technical and product decisions when paths are not clearly laid out.
Great communication skills and a collaborative spirit, especially when working remotely with designers and fellow engineers.
A genuine care for writing quality code and creating exceptional user experiences.

What You'll Gain

True product ownership where your ideas shape the future of a globally influential platform.
Complete location independence with a fully remote work culture spanning the globe.
A supportive, small team environment that prioritizes humans first and values real collaboration.
The chance to solve meaningful problems that impact millions of readers and writers every day.
