About this role

Rogo is seeking a Lead Android Engineer based in New York City to build and launch the company's first native Android application from the ground up. This full-time role is ideal for an experienced mobile engineer who thrives in a fast-paced startup environment and wants to define the future of finance through artificial intelligence.

Role Overview

As the Lead Android Engineer, you will start with a blank canvas to create Rogo's native Android app. You will own all foundational architecture, technology choices, design patterns, and release processes without the constraints of a legacy codebase. Collaborating directly with product, design, and engineering teams, you will translate Rogo's AI platform into a seamless, high-performance mobile experience for demanding financial professionals in investment banks and private equity firms.

Key Responsibilities

Build and launch the inaugural version of Rogo's native Android application.
Establish technical stacks, architectural patterns, and rigorous standards for testing, security, performance, and observability.
Partner with product and design to adapt complex AI-native workflows for mobile devices.
Own major features end-to-end, steering them from initial research and technical design to release and iteration.
Integrate backend services and Rogo's AI platform into an intuitive mobile interface.
Work alongside customer success teams and actual users to understand professional requirements and iterate quickly.
Help recruit, mentor, and set the technical hiring bar for future Android engineers.

Requirements

At least 5 years of professional Android development experience.
Proven history of shipping high-quality Android applications.
Advanced proficiency in Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, and the Android SDK.
Demonstrated capability in making foundational architectural and technology decisions.
Comprehensive knowledge of Android application lifecycles, platform conventions, concurrency, and threading using Kotlin coroutines and Flow.
Exceptional product judgment combined with a commitment to reliability, privacy, security, and polished user experiences.
Ability to navigate ambiguity and translate open-ended opportunities into functional products.

Nice to Have

Experience building a mobile product or Android app completely from zero to one.
Background as an early mobile engineer at a rapidly scaling startup.
Familiarity with Java, RxJava, Dagger or Hilt, and established Android architecture patterns.
Background connecting with backend services via REST APIs, gRPC, WebSockets, or Server-Sent Events.
Experience implementing offline functionality, local persistence, background processing, push notifications, and enterprise deployments using managed Google Play or MDM environments.
Experience designing secure software that handles sensitive enterprise data or working at a design-forward company like Figma or Notion.
