What you'll do
- Set Android-rooted mobile-system direction: define the technical direction for Android and the mobile-facing systems that make AlphaSense experiences fast, reliable, secure, and easier to evolve across teams
- Lead through hands-on Android system design: turn complex mobile-system problems into durable production architecture grounded in deep Android expertise
- Scale reliability and execution practices: shape how mobile work is designed, reviewed, tested, shipped, and operated across initiatives, including automation, observability, rollout practices, and AI-enabled validation

What we're looking for
- Deep expertise in modern production Android architecture, with a track record of setting technical standards beyond one feature team
- Ability to represent mobile platform principles from a deep Android base, with enough iOS fluency to shape cross-functional architecture decisions where backend, web, and product choices affect identity, reliability, release quality, observability, and native product outcomes
- Experience shaping mobile-facing platform contracts or backend service boundaries that improve product quality across native and adjacent client surfaces
- Ability to read, debug, and contribute to backend systems when needed to unblock mobile-facing outcomes
- Experience shaping AI-enabled engineering systems that improve validation, product quality, and delivery confidence across teams
- Strong reliability and release-quality judgment across production mobile systems, with experience raising quality standards across multiple initiatives
- Track record making engineers around you better by turning complex mobile-system work into clear standards, reusable patterns, and stronger technical judgment across teams
- Excellent product judgment and communication skills, including the ability to connect technical decisions to customer outcomes and align teams around durable technical decisions
Nice to have
- Experience building Android product experiences across varied device and form-factor contexts, such as foldables, wearables, Android Auto, or other platform-native surfaces
- Experience with enterprise mobile environments where identity, device management, compliance, or security constraints shape architecture, including MDM/EMM
- Experience shaping mobile design-system foundations and design-to-code workflows that improve consistency, accessibility, development velocity, and AI-assisted UI generation across native platforms
