Lead Android & API Architect

You will serve as a technical lead across Android and backend API development, driving the design and architecture of our mobile platform and its supporting Spring Boot services. You will lead the development of scalable Android applications—especially for Zebra barcode scanning use cases—and architect complex, enterprise-ready REST APIs. This role requires deep technical expertise in Android system architecture, SSO (via Ping), and performance monitoring using Dynatrace, Kibana, and Adobe Analytics. You will be central in managing Android OS upgrades, coordinating MDM-based rollouts, and designing platform integrations with SAP, Apigee, and Azure Cloud. You’ll mentor engineers, influence strategic decisions, and be a key contributor to our mobile-first enterprise roadmap. Day-to-Day:: • Architect and implement scalable solutions across Android apps and Spring Boot APIs. • Design Android systems with barcode scanning, offline support, and high resilience on Zebra devices. • Lead development of RESTful Spring Boot services that integrate with SAP, Apigee, and Azure. • Own the push notification architecture and messaging reliability across diverse app use cases. • Guide Android OS upgrade planning and coordinate chain-wide MDM deployments. • Lead technical incident investigations using telemetry from Dynatrace, Kibana, and Adobe Analytics. • Review API and Android codebases for performance, architecture, and best practices. • Collaborate with infrastructure teams to align mobile API strategy with Azure load balancers and Apigee gateway policies. • Drive documentation efforts: system diagrams, sequence flows, integration specs. • Mentor developers in best practices across mobile and backend domains. • Influence technical direction of mobile CI/CD pipelines and mobile security standards.
