Company

hirify.global is an AI research and deployment company dedicated to ensuring that general-purpose artificial intelligence benefits all of humanity.

What you will do

• Build and evolve core Kotlin frameworks used across multiple apps and platforms (e.g., caching, state management, observability, navigation, component systems).
• Enhance app performance (startup, responsiveness, memory, battery life) through profiling, monitoring, regression prevention, or architectural improvements.
• Increase reliability by reducing crashes, improving error handling, and driving release process improvements.
• Collaborate closely with product engineering teams to identify pain points and emerging infrastructure needs.
• Develop internal tooling and automation (CI, testing, guardrails, Codex agent skills, and systems) to accelerate engineering velocity.
• Turn real-world constraints into simple abstractions: intuitive APIs, enforceable contracts, safe defaults.

Requirements

• Strong expertise in Android development (Kotlin, modern architecture patterns, Jetpack).
• Gravitate toward platform challenges: frameworks, architecture, performance, or creating tools that empower other engineers.
• Take ownership by identifying key risks/opportunities, driving projects to completion, and adapting quickly.
• Care about measurement: instrument thoroughly, define metrics, run experiments, and iterate based on data.
• Communicate and collaborate effectively—aligning on interfaces, navigating tradeoffs, and driving cross-team execution.
• Think in systems, fight entropy, and enjoy ambiguous challenges.
