Role
Who you are
- 7+ years of professional Android development experience, with a strong command of Kotlin and the modern Android ecosystem (Jetpack, Compose, Coroutines, dependency injection, etc)
- Proven track record owning and delivering complex, high-impact features from architecture to development and release
- Deep understanding of mobile reliability and scalability, with a track record of identifying and resolving systemic issues
- Experience influencing technical direction - defining standards, driving architectural decisions, and aligning cross-functional teams
- Strong customer empathy - the ability to translate complex user needs into technical solutions that address both immediate problems and long-term product health
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills and the ability to present technical tradeoffs clearly to stakeholders
- Strong collaboration with backend and product partners, translating business needs into technical execution
- Love ownership, iteration, and making things better every release
Desirable
- Modular Android architecture - Experience designing and implementing feature modules, shared library modules, and dependency management strategies to support clean separation of concerns and fast build times
- Multi-app development - Experience with structuring the codebase to streamline developing and releasing multiple mobile applications in a single codebase
- Performance optimization - Experience with investigating, diagnosing, and fixing performance issues with Android apps
- Familiarity with backend systems and APIs, particularly in the context of designing robust and functional client-server contracts for mobile applications
- Continuous integration - Familiar with common tools and techniques for structuring and organizing mobile builds and automated testing tracks to improve quality and reduce developer cycle time
What the job involves
- We are looking for an experienced Android engineer to take part in all stages of the product development and deployment lifecycle for our mobile applications
- Mobile is a core part of our platform—real estate professionals rely on Perchwell while on the go—and our mobile experience is central to how agents search, collaborate, and close deals
- As part of our small team of developers, you'll collaborate across the company to help shape our team, processes, and tech stack as we scale our business and technology
- Build exceptional Android experiences: Design, build, and scale Perchwell’s Android app serving real estate professionals, delivering fast, stable, and intuitive mobile experiences that empower users to search, collaborate, and close deals from anywhere
- Own projects end-to-end: Lead major Android initiatives from technical design through launch, setting direction, driving execution, and ensuring quality every step of the way
- Accelerate product sales: Our mobile experience is a competitive differentiator for new clients and a delightful extension of the Perchwell platform
- Shape Android architecture: Make key decisions on the structure and setup of our codebase to ensure it is scalable, maintainable, and testable in order to accelerate feature development and customer satisfaction
- Collaborate across disciplines: Work closely with backend, product, design, and QA to deliver seamless, high-quality user experiences
- Your work will directly power how thousands of real estate professionals run their businesses, not just a small feature in a massive codebase. You’ll help shape our mobile architecture and standards from the ground up while working on a small, talented team that values autonomy, mentorship, and quality
Our take
The real estate industry was initially slow to get on the tech drive, but the last few years have seen a groundswell of demand from professionals for tools that allow them to save time and labour doing the “background” work that leads to closing transactions. Perchwell’s end-to-end workflow platform capitalises on this.
Its services allow real estate agents, mortgage brokers and multiple listing services (MLSs) to more easily manage distributed data, access market research and work with clients via one API. Perchwell launched in 2015 and showed encouraging growth in New York City, eventually winning the custom of the Real Estate Board of New York, as well as major private companies like Sotheby’s.
Founded in New York, Perchwell received $25 million from the Multiple Listing Service company REcolorado in 2024, after expanding the former's customer base to REcolorado clients in 2022. The aim for Perchwell now is to accelerate the growth of its customer base, whilst developing its AI data and workflow capabilities for real estate agents.
