As a Senior Applied AI Engineer (Android) within our central Engineering Ops group, you will shape and modernize the Android development experience across R&D. You will operate as a domain expert, defining and driving engineering standards, migrating release infrastructure, and leveraging AI tools to accelerate mobile delivery.
Rather than working inside a single isolated feature squad, you will drive foundational changes—such as unifying release pipelines and establishing multi-module library standards—that directly impact the daily workflows of over 600 engineers.
What you'll do
- Drive Platform Engineering & Release Synchronization: Migrate mobile CI/CD pipelines from Bitrise to GitHub Actions, integrate Android releases into shared Champagne release workflows, and synchronize deployment chains with backend and frontend teams.
- Define Golden Standards: Design scalable multi-module architectures, SDK/framework integrations, and reusable design system components. Establish rigorous standards for accessibility (a11y), security, and runtime performance.
- Leverage AI Acceleration: Integrate LLM-assisted workflows, AI coding tools, and automated testing utilities into everyday engineering tasks to boost delivery speed and efficiency.
- Enable R&D Adoption: Partner directly with pilot teams and cross-functional stakeholders to guide, test, and drive the seamless adoption of new SDLC practices.
Who you are
- Android Architecture & Depth: Expert-level mastery of Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, modern architecture patterns (MVVM/MVI), Coroutines, and Flow. Demonstrated experience architecting multi-module libraries and SDKs.
- Modern CI/CD & Testing Infrastructure: Hands-on experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions). Strong commitment to test-driven development (TDD), unit testing, and UI automation (JUnit, Mockito, Espresso).
- Pragmatic AI Application: Practical familiarity with AI development tools, efficient prompt crafting, and choosing the right model architectures to optimize mobile engineering workflows.
- Systems Mindset & Leadership: Proven track record of evaluating how platform changes ripple across teams. Ability to articulate technical direction clearly and guide senior peers through adoption. Why Join Us?
- High-Leverage Engineering Impact: Your architectural decisions and tooling improvements will empower 600+ engineers across the entire global R&D organization.
- Generous Growth & Well-being: €1,000 annual self-development allowance, clear career progression pathways, and dedicated study time. Private healthcare (Luxmed) and Headspace subscriptions are fully covered.
- Vibrant Kraków Work Culture: Modern hybrid setup with a fully stocked office, catered daily lunches, weekly community breakfasts, and top-tier Apple hardware.
You own what you ship
Subline
Real ownership means real responsibility. From day one, you set the pace, make the decisions, and see your work land where it matters. You drive the outcomes, you celebrate the wins.
The work is the standard
Subline
We built something that didn't exist before - an AI-native Banking OS where humans and AI agents work side by side, at scale, inside real banks. We raise the bar because we've seen what's possible when you don't settle.
Ambition without ego
Subline
You'll work with people who've shipped things most thought couldn't be done. Direct, down-to-earth, no egos. The kind of team where the best idea wins and everyone's genuinely glad when it does.
Real AI, running in real banks
Subline
We're not waiting for AI to be ready. It already is - running inside banks, serving customers, solving problems that matter, out in the real world today.
Grow while you build
Subline
Annual learning budget, global exposure, and work that moves you forward. Your growth and our mission go hand in hand.
