As part of our new Hyderabad Technology Hub, you’ll work with global teams building next-generation video streaming experiences that reach millions of users worldwide. You’ll help define the technical direction, scalability, and architecture of DAZN’s Android and Android TV applications — platforms that handle massive concurrency, real-time delivery, and unmatched video performance.

Join us to shape the future of streaming technology while making a global impact.

Role Overview

As an Android Architect, you will lead the design and architecture of DAZN’s Android. You’ll collaborate with cross-functional teams to define scalable solutions, ensure technical excellence, and evolve the platform to meet DAZN’s global growth and innovation goals.

You will be hands-on in setting coding standards, mentoring developers, and driving architectural decisions for performance, maintainability, and reliability.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the architecture, design, and implementation of Android and Android TV applications.
  • Define best practices, frameworks, and reusable components to ensure consistency and scalability across teams.
  • Partner with product, design, and backend engineering teams to translate business needs into robust, high-performance solutions.
  • Drive technical design reviews, performance optimization, and system scalability improvements.
  • Architect integrations with APIs, content delivery systems, and playback pipelines (HLS, DRM, adaptive streaming).
  • Ensure security, resiliency, and maintainability of applications through strong architectural governance.
  • Guide teams on modern Android patterns (MVVM, MVI, Clean Architecture) and Jetpack Compose adoption.
  • Contribute to DAZN’s engineering culture, mentoring engineers and fostering innovation.

Required Skills & Experience

  • 8+ years of Android application development experience, including 4+ years in architecture or lead engineering roles.
  • Strong hands-on background in Kotlin and Java.
  • Proven experience architecting and building apps for Android and Android TV.
  • Expertise in video streaming, playback, and DRM integration (ExoPlayer, HLS, DASH).
  • Solid understanding of software design patterns (MVC, MVVM, MVI) and SOA / RESTful architecture.
  • Experience with CI / CD pipelines, modularization, and scalable multi-module app design.
  • Strong understanding of performance tuning, memory management, and concurrency in Android.
  • Experience working in Agile environments with distributed teams.

    • Nice to Have

  • Experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Firebase, and event-driven microservices.
  • Knowledge of broadcast systems, digital video workflows, or metadata pipelines.
  • Familiarity with Jetpack libraries, Compose for TV, and AndroidX TV UI components.
  • Experience designing for large-scale, high-availability applications.
  • Passion for sports, media technology, and cutting-edge user experiences.
