Role
Who you are
- Have a deep technical understanding of the Android platform. This understanding includes knowledge of the operating system, first-party API (performance, concurrency, state, UI), dependency management, build configurations and artifacts, compiler, and runtime
- You have 4+ years experience with Android CI/CD systems and tooling (Gradle, GitHub Actions, Firebase App Distribution, and Google Play Console) with experience optimizing build pipelines for developer productivity
- You take ownership of technical planning and production reliability; from designing solutions and anticipating risks, to responding to incidents independently and improving observability to prevent future issues
- You lead cross-team projects, guide collaboration, mentor teammates, guarantee work aligns with goals, and address risks to long-term maintainability
- You integrate multiple perspectives into technical decisions. You incorporate product, business, and operational considerations into your designs, while identifying risks and future scenarios that could affect system health

Our take
The competitive nature of sports has always been driven by scorekeeping, and nowadays results are often consumed online. However, for smaller teams it can be difficult to provide this information digitally, as they do not have dedicated web development staff.
GameChanger provides a scorekeeping and statistics platform for sports teams to engage with their fans, that allows viewers to track the progress of a game in real-time similar to with professional sports. The company also embeds a live-streaming service into the platform to facilitate remote viewing, helping to increase audience engagement.
Whilst some sports teams already stream events on platforms such as Twitch and Youtube, most do not have the technical resources to achieve this. GameChanger has recognized this gap in the market, providing a simple yet unified platform for sports scoreboards and streaming, providing a fair opportunity for any team to maximize their community engagement.
