SSE - Android

Founded by ex-Flipkart leader Aditya Soni and backed by 3one4 Capital, Venture Highway, Ram Shriram, Lloyd Mathias and more, CheQ isn’t just another fintech, it’s a full-stack credit experience

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

• Own architectural decisions for Android app modules — Clean Architecture, MVVM, modularization, multi-module builds — and set technical direction.
  

• Work with stakeholders (product owners, project managers) to define, clarify, and challenge requirements where technical constraints or better approaches exist.
  

• Drive API contract discussions with backend and cross-functional teams, ensuring clear, robust, and scalable integration points between app and services.
  

• Lead code reviews and set the technical bar for the Android codebase — enforcing clean architecture, testability, and maintainability standards.
  

• Mentor mid-level and junior engineers through pairing, PR reviews, and structured feedback.
  

• Champion modern security principles and lead their application across the app's architecture.
  

• Contribute to the team's technical roadmap, including tooling, dependency upgrades, and platform migrations.
  

What you'll need

• 5+ years developing production Android applications using Kotlin, with a track record of owning features end-to-end.
  

• Expert-level proficiency in Jetpack Compose, with hands-on experience building modern, responsive, and maintainable Android UIs at scale.
  

• Proven experience shipping and maintaining successful Android applications on Google Play.
  

• Deep knowledge of the Android ecosystem, including third-party libraries, and the judgment to evaluate build-vs-buy trade-offs.
  

• Strong grasp of Android UI design patterns and Material Design guidelines, with experience setting UI/UX standards for a team.
  

• Experience integrating mobile apps with backend web services (REST); comfortable driving contract design, not just consuming APIs.
  

• Strong command of Kotlin's functional and asynchronous/coroutine concepts, and asynchronous computing principles more broadly.
  

• Understanding of app performance metrics (startup time, memory, jank/frame rate, ANRs) and resolving performance issues.
