Lead Android Engineer

Rogo, New York City

The role

We’re looking for a Lead Android Engineer to build Rogo’s Android app from the ground up.

Rogo is not available on Android app yet. You will start with a blank canvas and own the foundational decisions that shape the product for years to come: architecture, technology choices, design patterns, development standards, release processes, observability, and quality. You won’t be maintaining someone else’s decisions or modernizing a legacy codebase. You’ll define what excellent Android engineering looks like at Rogo.

You’ll work directly with product, design, engineering, and customers to translate Rogo’s AI platform into an exceptional native mobile experience. You’ll decide how sophisticated, AI-powered financial workflows should work on Android and then build them.
