Figure is an AI Robotics company developing a general purpose humanoid. Our humanoid robot, Figure 03, is designed for commercial tasks and the home. We are based in San Jose, CA and require 5 days/week in-office collaboration. It's time to build.
We're looking for an Android lead to own Figure's consumer Android app end to end. The app pairs with proprietary hardware and will ingest high volumes of data.
You'll be the founding Android engineer. You set the technical direction for the platform, ship the app, and grow the team behind it.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Own the Android app end to end, from architecture to Google Play release.
- Build and ship a consumer-grade client with best-in-class polish and performance.
- Own core app surfaces: onboarding, capture, tasks, earnings, and notifications.
- Set Android architecture, coding standards, and review practices for the engineers who follow.
- Instrument the app for analytics, experimentation, and crash-free releases.
- Work closely with the iOS lead, hardware integration, and backend engineers to ship complete features.
- Drive fast, high-quality release cycles through Google Play, including staged rollouts.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- 6+ years building and shipping consumer Android apps at scale.
- Expert in Kotlin and Jetpack Compose.
- Deep experience with CameraX or Camera2, media pipelines, and offline-first sync.
- Experience as the lead or senior-most engineer on a mobile platform.
- Strong product sense, with performance discipline across a fragmented device matrix.
- Comfortable owning a platform end to end on a small, fast-moving team.
NICE TO HAVE
- Experience at top consumer app companies (Snapchat, Instagram, Uber, or similar).
- Bluetooth (BLE) or connected-device integration experience.
- Cross-platform experience (React Native, Flutter, or KMP).
The US base salary range for this full-time position is between $200,000 - $400,000 annually. The pay offered for this position may vary based on several individual factors, including job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
