## Description

**About the Role**

As a **Senior Applied AI Engineer (Android)** within our central Engineering Ops group, you will shape and modernize the Android development experience across R&D. You will operate as a domain expert, defining and driving engineering standards, migrating release infrastructure, and leveraging AI tools to accelerate mobile delivery.

Rather than working inside a single isolated feature squad, you will drive foundational changes—such as unifying release pipelines and establishing multi-module library standards—that directly impact the daily workflows of over 600 engineers.

### **Role Responsibilities**

- **Drive Platform Engineering & Release Synchronization:** Migrate mobile CI/CD pipelines from Bitrise to GitHub Actions, integrate Android releases into shared Champagne release workflows, and synchronize deployment chains with backend and frontend teams.

- **Define Golden Standards:** Design scalable multi-module architectures, SDK/framework integrations, and reusable design system components. Establish rigorous standards for accessibility (a11y), security, and runtime performance.

- **Leverage AI Acceleration:** Integrate LLM-assisted workflows, AI coding tools, and automated testing utilities into everyday engineering tasks to boost delivery speed and efficiency.

- **Enable R&D Adoption:** Partner directly with pilot teams and cross-functional stakeholders to guide, test, and drive the seamless adoption of new SDLC practices.

### **Required Qualifications**

- **Android Architecture & Depth:** Expert-level mastery of Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, modern architecture patterns (MVVM/MVI), Coroutines, and Flow. Demonstrated experience architecting multi-module libraries and SDKs.

- **Modern CI/CD & Testing Infrastructure:** Hands-on experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions). Strong commitment to test-driven development (TDD), unit testing, and UI automation (JUnit, Mockito, Espresso).

- **Pragmatic AI Application:** Practical familiarity with AI development tools, efficient prompt crafting, and choosing the right model architectures to optimize mobile engineering workflows.

- **Systems Mindset & Leadership:** Proven track record of evaluating how platform changes ripple across teams. Ability to articulate technical direction clearly and guide senior peers through adoption.

### **Why Join Us?**

- **High-Leverage Engineering Impact:** Your architectural decisions and tooling improvements will empower 600+ engineers across the entire global R&D organization.

- **Generous Growth & Well-being:** €1,000 annual self-development allowance, clear career progression pathways, and dedicated study time. Private healthcare (Luxmed) and Headspace subscriptions are fully covered.

- **Vibrant Kraków Work Culture:** Modern hybrid setup with a fully stocked office, catered daily lunches, weekly community breakfasts, and top-tier Apple hardware.
