Join the Tilt team

At Tilt, we see a side of people that traditional lenders miss. Our mobile-first products and machine learning-powered credit models look beyond credit scores, using over 250 real-time financial signals to recognize real potential. With millions of customers worldwide, we're not just changing how people access financial products — we're creating a new credit system that backs the working, whatever they're working toward.

THE OPPORTUNITY: STAFF ANDROID ENGINEER

Tilt's Android platform is how millions of customers experience our products every day — and we're looking for a Staff Android Engineer to lead the technical vision behind it. This isn't a role for someone who follows a roadmap handed to them. You'll shape the architecture, raise the quality bar, and help a team of engineers move faster and build better.

HOW YOU'LL MAKE AN IMPACT

• Build financial products end-to-end. Design, develop, and maintain mobile applications that deliver financial services to users — from complex credit card onboarding flows to multi-screen state management systems.

• Lead our design language system. Own the technical architecture and implementation of reusable component libraries that serve multiple applications across the organization. Build theme-aware components that support brand transformations and ensure visual consistency throughout the user interface.

• Own third-party banking integrations. Architect and implement API integrations with comprehensive caching strategies and error handling, enabling secure account linking and verification.

• Build infrastructure that scales. Create deep linking infrastructure for direct feature navigation, and develop frameworks and engineering processes that accelerate velocity across multiple teams.

• Drive platform quality. Establish quality metrics including test coverage reporting and crash monitoring. Work cross-functionally with backend, infrastructure, and product teams to resolve performance issues before they reach customers.

• Set the technical direction. Develop quarterly OKRs for the Android platform, modernize legacy code patterns, and lead migration from deprecated architectural approaches to contemporary frameworks that improve maintainability and performance.

• Keep the codebase healthy. Consolidate theme systems, standardize component patterns, establish migration tracking with automated progress reporting, and remove deprecated code while preserving functionality.

WHY YOU'RE A GREAT FIT

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field and 7 years of progressive post-baccalaureate experience with front-end native Android application development and architecture.

• Experience with Android mobile application architecture including Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) pattern and coordinator pattern for complex multi-screen navigation.

• Cross-platform mobile development experience, including iOS development with Swift and Objective-C, reactive programming with Java, and multi-platform design systems.

• Demonstrated expertise in mobile application performance optimization — crash monitoring, ANR reduction, memory leak detection, and UI rendering optimization.

• Strong software testing background including unit test development, test-driven development (TDD) practices, fake implementation patterns, and comprehensive QA frameworks.

• Technical leadership experience: quarterly OKR development, cross-team coordination, engineering process improvement, and the ability to navigate ambiguity under pressure. Full-time. Salary range is between $224,370.20 to $273,571.00 per year. Qualified Applicants should send resumes to recops@tilt.com ref: SAE/BJ. Direct applicants only.
