Techgene Solutions is hiring an Android Engineer in Irving, Texas on a hybrid contract basis for its client’s flagship Android application. This is a senior, hands-on technical role: you will architect and lead the design and development of major features, act as the main Android technical authority, set direction on the modern Android stack — Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, and Coroutines — and define engineering standards for code quality, automated testing, and application performance. You will also mentor junior Android engineers and work with product, design, and backend teams. The role asks for 5+ years of native Android experience and a track record on the Google Play Store.

Why This Android Engineer Role in Irving Stands Out
Technical Leadership on a Flagship App: You will be the primary Android technical authority, shaping direction on a modern stack instead of simply implementing tickets
Modern Tooling: Work with Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, and Coroutines on production-scale features, including complex multi-module Gradle builds
Mentoring Role: Coach junior Android engineers and help build a culture of continuous improvement and engineering excellence
Career Growth: Senior Android engineers can progress toward Staff Engineer, Mobile Architect, Engineering Lead, and Engineering Manager roles
Position Overview
The Android Engineer architects and leads the end-to-end design and development of major features for the client’s flagship Android application, making sure every solution is scalable, resilient, and built to last. You will act as the primary Android technical authority across the engineering function, setting direction on Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, and Coroutines; define and enforce standards for code quality, automated testing, and application performance; resolve critical defects and remove bottlenecks that affect end users; coach and mentor junior Android engineers; partner with Product Managers, UI/UX Designers, and backend engineers to turn complex requirements into reliable mobile experiences; tune performance across memory, battery, and runtime speed; improve development processes, testing strategies, and delivery workflows; and weigh technical and operational risk so that solutions meet the client’s standards for security, compliance, and platform reliability.
Why This Role Matters: For a flagship mobile app, small problems show up fast — a slow screen, a battery drain, or a crash after an update can drive users away. As Android Engineer, you set the technical standard that keeps the app fast, stable, and easy to extend. Your architecture choices, testing discipline, and mentoring help the whole team ship better features with fewer surprises, and make sure the app remains secure and reliable as it grows.
