About Schedit

Schedit is a cloud-based workforce management platform on a mission to transform how businesses handle their most complex operational challenge : scheduling. We're building intuitive, efficient, and beautiful experiences that streamline operations, compliance, and reporting across industries. As we gear up for our 2025 launch, we're assembling a founding engineering team that will define our technical culture and build the foundation for years to come.

This is your chance to be part of the zero-to-one journey—where every line of code matters, every architectural decision shapes the future, and every team member has outsized impact.

About the Role

We're seeking a Full Stack Engineer who will lead our Android development while contributing across our entire technology stack. This is a unique opportunity to own the end-to-end delivery of our Android application while being part of a broader engineering ecosystem. You'll work closely with our Senior Mobile Engineering Lead (who drives our iOS platform) and contribute to backend systems when needed.

This isn't a role confined to just mobile development—you'll think full-stack, write production code across Android and backend services, and have the autonomy to shape both our mobile experience and the systems that power it. As we scale, this role has a clear path to technical leadership, with the opportunity to build and mentor a world-class mobile engineering team.

What You'll Own

Android Platform Leadership : Take full ownership of our Android application from architecture to deployment, ensuring a best-in-class mobile experience

Mobile-First Development : Build native Android applications using Kotlin and Java, leveraging modern Android architecture components and best practices

Product Launch Execution : Drive the successful delivery of our Android application to support our 2025 launch plans—ship fast, iterate based on user feedback, and maintain high quality

Full Stack Contribution : Contribute to backend services (Java-based) as needed, understanding the full journey from API to UI

Technical Excellence : Establish mobile development standards, testing strategies, and CI / CD pipelines that enable rapid, reliable releases

Cross-Platform Collaboration : Work closely with iOS development to ensure feature parity, shared learnings, and consistent user experiences

What You Bring

Must-Haves

5-6 years of software engineering experience with strong Android development expertise

Native Android mastery : Deep proficiency in Kotlin and Java with production Android applications at scale

Modern Android stack : Hands-on experience with Jetpack Compose, Android Architecture Components (ViewModel, LiveData, Room), Coroutines, and Flow

Backend familiarity : Comfortable working with backend systems and APIs—bonus if you've written production Java / Kotlin backend code

Mobile architecture expertise : Strong understanding of MVVM, Clean Architecture, or similar patterns; you know when to apply them and when to keep it simple

API integration : Experience building robust mobile apps that consume RESTful APIs, handle offline scenarios, and manage state effectively

Performance optimization : You've profiled apps, optimized rendering, reduced memory footprint, and shipped apps that feel fast

Testing expertise : Strong experience with testing mobile applications and comfortable writing automation tests (Unit tests, Integration tests, UI tests with Espresso / UI Automator)

Ownership mindset : You've taken features from concept to production, handled releases, monitored crashes, and iterated based on user feedback

Bonus Points for

Experience with cross-platform frameworks like Flutter

Experience with dependency injection frameworks (Dagger / Hilt, Koin)

Knowledge of reactive programming and modern concurrency patterns

Hands-on experience with Gradle build optimization and modularization

Familiarity with mobile CI / CD tools (Fastlane, Bitrise, GitHub Actions)

Experience integrating third-party SDKs and native platform features

Previous work on workforce management, scheduling, or business productivity apps

Contributions to open-source Android projects or technical writing

Experience with backend frameworks (Spring Boot, Ktor) and cloud services (AWS)

Previous startup experience, especially in 0→1 product launches

What Success Looks Like

Product Delivery : You ship the Android application on time with quality that makes users love it

Technical Craftsmanship : Your code is clean, testable, and well-architected; your PRs are examples for the team

Ownership & Initiative : You don't wait for specifications—you collaborate with product, ask the right questions, and drive clarity

Full Stack Thinking : You understand the entire system, from backend APIs to UI interactions, and optimize the whole experience

Velocity & Reliability : You balance speed with stability—shipping quickly while maintaining app performance and crash-free rates

Team Collaboration : You actively share knowledge with the iOS team and backend engineers, fostering a culture of learning

This Role is For You If

You get excited about building mobile experiences from scratch and seeing them in users' hands

You believe in owning outcomes, not just features—you care about app metrics, user feedback, and business impact

You're comfortable working across the stack and don't see backend contributions as "not my job"

You thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy learning from a Senior Mobile Engineering Lead

You want to be the go-to Android expert while staying versatile and full-stack capable

You see mobile development as more than UI work—it's about architecture, performance, and user delight

You want agency and direct impact on product direction, not just executing handed-down requirements

This Role is NOT For You If

You prefer working exclusively on mobile apps with no backend involvement

You need highly detailed product specs and extensive hand-holding before starting

You're looking for a large team with specialized roles—this is a startup where everyone wears multiple hats

You're uncomfortable with the pace, ambiguity, and iteration cycles of early-stage product development

You prefer iOS over Android or want to work equally across both platforms (we have dedicated iOS leadership)

You're looking for work-life separation rather than work-life integration

What We Offer

Competitive Compensation : As a startup we offer reasonable salary that recognizes senior expertise

Impact : Your app will directly affect thousands of businesses and their employees

Remote-First Team : Work from anywhere with occasional team gatherings (as needed)

Flexible Working : True flexibility based on trust and output, not hours logged

Modern Stack : You'll help define our Android architecture and tech choices

Growth Path : Clear trajectory to technical leadership as we scale the mobile team

Mentorship : Work closely with an experienced Senior Mobile Engineering Lead
