Lead Android Engineer

About Us:

Future is building a personalized guidance system for lifelong health. We help people understand what to do next for their body, goals, and stage of life — then support them in turning those decisions into sustained behavior change. By combining AI, human expertise, personal health data, and accountability, Future helps members improve performance today while building the resilience, capacity, and healthspan they need for decades to come.

About the Role:

We’re hiring a Lead Android Engineer to set the technical direction for Future’s Android products and build the experiences our members use every day.

You’ll lead work across our phone and Wear OS apps. You’ll shape core journeys such as onboarding, coach messaging, scheduling, guided workouts, progress tracking, health-data integration, and video calls. You’ll work with product, design, backend, and iOS engineers on a small, senior team.

This is a hands-on role. You’ll move between product details and system architecture, write production code, guide technical decisions, and help other engineers do their best work.

What You’ll Own:

Member Experience: Lead Android implementation for the experiences that connect members with their coaches and help them follow through on their plans. Build polished, accessible interfaces with Jetpack Compose and Future’s design system.

Android Architecture: Set direction for a multi-module Kotlin codebase built around Compose, coroutines and flows, dependency injection, and unidirectional state. Improve module boundaries, data ownership, navigation, and offline behavior as the product grows.

Connected Health and Wearables: Guide the systems that connect Future with Wear OS, Health Connect, heart-rate data, sensors, and the Android device lifecycle. Protect member data and design for intermittent connectivity.

Reliability and Performance: Own app startup, responsiveness, media playback, foreground services, background work, real-time calls, and data synchronization. Use crash, performance, and release telemetry to find problems before members encounter them.

Engineering Excellence: Set expectations for code quality, testing, observability, and maintainability. Strengthen unit, integration, UI, and end-to-end coverage with JUnit, Robolectric, Espresso, and Appium.

Delivery and Release Quality: Improve Gradle builds, GitHub Actions, Fastlane automation, and Google Play delivery. Help the team ship often without trading away stability.

Team Leadership: Lead the Android team through technical planning, project execution, design discussions, pairing, and code review. Keep engineers aligned on priorities, decisions, and delivery risks.

AI-Assisted Development: Use coding agents and AI tools to speed up exploration, implementation, testing, and review. Apply engineering judgment to validate their output before it reaches members.
