Software Development Engineer II - Android

Mobile Development

Design, develop, test, and maintain Android applications using Kotlin and modern Android development practices.

Translate Figma designs into high-fidelity Android UI — faithfully matching spacing, typography, colors, corner radii, and animation behavior.

Build smooth, performant animations that feel native and polished. Respect platform conventions and accessibility settings (e.g., Reduce Motion).

Own features end-to-end from requirements and design through deployment and monitoring.

Technical Contribution

Engage actively in architecture and design discussions, lending your expertise to implement scalable, secure, and high-performance mobile solutions.

Implement modern Android architectures, including MVVM, Clean Architecture, and modular design patterns.

Drive improvements in application performance, reliability, maintainability, and security.

AI-Assisted Engineering

Actively leverage AI-assisted development tools such as Cursor, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or equivalent as part of day-to-day software development.

Use AI for code generation, debugging, refactoring, test creation, documentation, code reviews, and development acceleration.

Demonstrate strong engineering judgment by reviewing, validating, and improving AI-generated code before production use.

Contribute to Safe’s AI-first engineering culture and continuously identify opportunities to improve engineering productivity through AI-assisted workflows.

Code Review

Conduct thorough code reviews to maintain code quality, identify opportunities for improvement, and share constructive feedback with team members.

Problem Solving

Proactively identify gaps, ambiguities, or missing specifications in designs and requirements — propose solutions rather than waiting for clarification.

Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues, identifying root causes and implementing effective solutions.

Analyze production issues and implement preventive measures to improve application stability, reliability, and performance.

Collaboration

Collaborate with the iOS team to ensure visual and behavioral consistency across platforms.

Collaborate closely with Product Managers, Designers, Backend Engineers, Architects, and other stakeholders to ensure alignment between technical solutions and business objectives.

Work effectively across teams to deliver seamless user experiences.

Project Execution

Play a key role in project planning, execution, and timely delivery of features, ensuring adherence to project timelines and scope.

Take ownership of deliverables and drive projects from conception to production.

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
