Lead the design and delivery of Android features using Kotlin/Java , driving consistent architecture patterns and reusable components across the app. Set and enforce standards for security, performance, accessibility, stability , and production readiness (telemetry/monitoring, incident prevention). Drive CI/CD for Android (build automation, unit/instrumentation/UI tests, static analysis, signing and release workflows) and improve developer productivity. Partner with Product, Design, Backend, and QA to deliver end-to-end solutions; manage technical dependencies and provide clear technical direction and estimates. Use JPMorganChase-approved AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude AI where approved) to accelerate development/change work (refactoring, test generation, documentation) with rigorous human validation. Drives team adoption of enterprise-authorized AI-assisted engineering practices within the work environment to improve code quality, delivery speed, and operational outcomes (e.g., AI-assisted code review/refactoring, test strategy acceleration, incident/root-cause analysis support), while establishing consistent validation standards (secure coding, peer review, automated testing) and promoting reuse of effective patterns across the team. Applies knowledge of tools within the Software Development Life Cycle toolchain, including enterprise-authorized AI-assisted development and automation capabilities, to improve the value realized by automation. Identifies opportunities to eliminate or automate remediation of recurring issues to improve overall operational stability of software applications and systems Leads evaluation sessions with external vendors, startups, and internal teams to drive outcomes-oriented probing of architectural designs, technical credentials, and applicability for use within existing systems and information architecture Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills Formal training or certification on software engineering concepts and 5+ years applied experience Strong hands-on Android experience with Kotlin , Android SDK, and modern architecture (e.g., MVVM/Clean Architecture), with ability to lead design and code reviews. Experience building UI with Jetpack Compose and/or XML, including accessibility and responsive layout practices. Experience integrating with backend services (REST/GraphQL), authentication flows, secure storage, and robust error/offline handling. Proven experience improving CI/CD and test automation for mobile (quality gates, release readiness, stable pipelines). Demonstrated technical leadership (mentoring, driving standards, owning outcomes) and disciplined use of AI coding assistants (Claude AI or equivalent where approved) with verification. Demonstrated experience leading effective use of approved AI-assisted software development tools (e.g., for coding, code review, test acceleration, troubleshooting) with the ability to set team expectations for validating AI outputs for correctness, performance, and security. Strong understanding of responsible AI use in engineering workflows, including data sensitivity considerations, secure handling of inputs/outputs, and adherence to resiliency and security expectations; experience coaching engineers on safe, compliant adoption within delivery practices Proficient in all aspects of the Software Development Life Cycle Advanced
