We address two critical challenges in the current education landscape: the need for more emphasis on holistic learning and adopting a one-size-fits-all approach. We are leveraging AI to develop an innovative ed-tech platform to provide students with a compelling end-to-end learning experience. Our goal is to transform education by providing personalized learning experiences that transcend traditional classrooms by catering to individual learning needs and to drive significant improvements in learning outcomes

Join us in reshaping education for the digital era and unlocking the full potential of every student!

What Youll Build & Own

• Architect the Future: Design and drive the architecture for high-scale, consumer-facing Android applications. You own the codebase health, scalability, and “solution elegance.”
• Obsess Over Performance: We want buttery smooth 60fps UI. You will be responsible for app startup times, memory management, and eliminating jank.
• Pixel-Perfect Engineering: Translate complex design visions into fluid, responsive, and accessible mobile interfaces.
• Bridge the Gap: Collaborate closely with Product, Design, and AI teams to integrate cutting-edge personalized learning models directly into the user flow.
• Mentorship & Culture: Be a technical beacon. Raise the bar for code quality, conduct rigorous code reviews, and mentor junior engineers in the “Android Way.”

The Tech DNA (Requirements)

• Android Native Veteran: 5+ years of deep experience building and shipping complex Android apps. You know the Android SDK inside out—from the Activity Lifecycle to the latest Android APIs.
• Kotlin First: You don’t just write Kotlin; you think in Kotlin. You are a master of Coroutines, Flow, Sealed Classes, Extension Functions, and High-Order functions.
• Modern UI Toolkit: Proficient in Jetpack Compose. You have moved past XML and understand state management, recomposition, and side-effects in Compose.
• Architecture Geek: deeply versed in Clean Architecture, MVVM, or MVI patterns. You know how to decouple business logic from UI and Infrastructure.

• The Toolkit: Hands-on expertise with:

• Dependency Injection: koin
• Networking: Ktor
• Local Storage: Room Database / DataStore

• Async: Kotlin Coroutines & Asynchronous Flow

• Quality Obsessed: Experience writing unit tests and UI tests (Espresso, Compose Test Tags). You believe that untested code is broken code.

Bonus Points (Good to Have)

• Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP): Experience sharing business logic across platforms using KMP is a huge plus. We love efficiency!
• CI/CD Ninja: Familiarity with setting up pipelines using Bitrise, Jenkins
• Media Libraries: Expertise on Media3, Exo-player etc.
• Startup Hustle: A track record of delivery in a fast-paced consumer internet ecosystem (EdTech, Fintech, or Media)
