Hi, We’re Franki

Franki is an AI-powered startup transforming how people discover and choose where to eat, drink, and explore. Our platform is built on video recommendations from a passionate community of creators and dining enthusiasts who help people find the best experiences in their area.

We’re a fast-moving, high-ownership team that values creativity and execution. The category is dynamic and fun, and we're building a brand that reflects that energy. If you're the kind of person who has strong ideas and makes them happen, we’d love to hear from you.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Staff Android Engineer to lead the evolution of Franki’s mobile platform and play a key role in shaping our technical direction.

This is a senior, hands-on engineering role that blends architectural leadership, coding excellence, and mentorship. You’ll help define how we build scalable, maintainable, and performant Android applications that bring Franki’s product vision to life.

As our Android Staff Engineer, you’ll collaborate with Product, Design, and Backend teams to deliver beautiful, high-performing mobile experiences. You’ll set engineering standards, guide best practices, and ensure that quality and innovation remain at the core of everything we ship.

  • Develop and deliver high-quality features in Kotlin, writing clean, testable, and well-documented code.
  • Mentor and support engineers, leading code reviews and fostering technical excellence across the team.
  • Improve and maintain CI / CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, Firebase App Distribution, and Fastlane.
  • Enhance testing automation—drive unit, UI, and integration test coverage across the app.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Design, and Backend to deliver user-first, performant mobile experiences.
  • Adopt and integrate new iOS / Andoroid frameworks and tools, continuously improving performance and development speed.
  • Monitor and optimize app performance using Firebase Crashlytics and analytics data.
  • Champion technical best practices and contribute to the modernization of Franki’s mobile architecture.

You’re a good fit if you have...

  • 8+ years of professional Android development experience, including leadership or mentorship responsibilities.
  • Expert-level proficiency in Kotlin, Jetpack components, and a strong understanding of mobile architecture patterns.
  • Experience building and maintaining large-scale, modularized applications with multi-module structures.
  • Proficiency with CI / CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Firebase App Distribution, Fastlane).
  • Strong background in unit testing, UI testing, and automated build workflows.
  • Familiarity with Firebase Crashlytics, performance monitoring, and Play Store release processes.
  • A passion for elegant, maintainable code and seamless user experiences.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with a focus on knowledge sharing and problem solving.
  • Bonus points if you're...

  • Comfortable in a fast-paced startup
  • Ability to collaborate with cross-time zone teams
  • Why Franki...

  • Remote role with semi-flexible scheduling and collaboration across distributed teams in multiple time zones.
  • Opportunity to contribute to architectural modernization and scalable mobile solutions.
  • Exposure to modern mobile development tools and practices; continuous learning and knowledge sharing.
  • Engaging, inclusive culture that champions Franki values, positivity, and mutual respect.
  • Competitive compensation aligned with experience and market benchmarks.
  • Flexible work environment with emphasis on work-life balance and professional growth.
  • The pay range for this role is :
