Apply About the Team
When 10% of Indian households shop with us, it’s important to build resilient systems to manage millions of orders every day. We’ve done this – with zero downtime! 😎
Sounds impossible? Well, that’s the kind of Engineering muscle that has helped Meesho become the e-commerce giant that it is today. We value speed over perfection, and see failures as opportunities to become better. We’ve taken steps to inculcate a strong ‘Founder’s Mindset’ across our engineering teams, making us grow and move fast.
We want Meesho to be at everyone’s fingertips! And, YOU can make that happen.
We place special emphasis on the continuous growth of each team member - and we do this with regular 1-1s and open communication. As Android Architect, you will be part of self-starters who thrive on teamwork and constructive feedback.
We know how to party as hard as we work! If we aren’t building unparalleled tech solutions, you can find us debating the plot points of our favourite books and games – or even gossiping over chai. So, if a day filled with building impactful solutions with a fun team sounds appealing to you, join us.
About the Role
As our Android Architect, you will join us in the Android Platform team. This is your opportunity to be a trailblazer in your industry.
In this role, you will primarily focus on building a roadmap for our Android Platform. You will lead and contribute to all our engineering efforts – from planning and organisation to execution and delivery. You will collaborate closely with QA, other Engineers, Product Managers, and Designers across the company to shape the future of our Android platform.
In addition, you will also actively participate in external conferences and conduct knowledge sharing sessions for the team.

Drive cross-team architectural decisions and write ADRs that align mobile and platform teams on shared patterns
Lead architectural reviews, deep-dive design sessions, and refactoring of high-impact surfaces
Set engineering standards for code quality, testing strategy, and release readiness
Own end-to-end app performance — startup, jank, memory, ANRs, battery.
Champion AI-assisted developer workflows — Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, AI-driven code review and test generation and measure productivity impact.
Identify and lead 2–3 crucial strategic projects per year from problem framing through rollout.
Build the next generation of internal SDKs, design system components, and platform libraries consumed by other Android engineers.
Recruit, mentor, and grow Android engineers; partner on hiring loops and career growth
Perform deep code reviews that raise the technical bar
Represent Android in cross-functional planning and shape the broader mobile roadmap
What you will need
Strong command of Jetpack Compose, state management, and the modern Android UI toolkit
Hands-on experience with the modern Jetpack stack: Hilt, Room, DataStore, WorkManager, Navigation, Paging
Solid understanding of architecture patterns — unidirectional data flow, MVI, clean architecture — and how to make them testable
Proven debugging skills — memory leaks, ANRs, jank, cold-start regressions.
Experience with performance tooling: Macrobenchmark, Baseline Profiles, App Startup, and R8 optimization
Proficiency with modern networking and serialization (Retrofit + OkHttp, kotlinx.serialization or Moshi) and image loading.
Strong grasp of concurrency, structured concurrency with Coroutines, and reactive streams.
Experience with modularization at scale, Gradle build optimization (KSP, configuration cache, build cache), and CI/CD pipelines
Comfort with AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) in day-to-day workflow
Understanding of advanced Android internals — custom Compose layouts, background execution constraints, process lifecycle, security best practices
Strong Git, code review, and collaboration habits
