Philo: TV on the Internet

At Philo, we're a group of technology and product people who set out to build the future of television, marrying the best in modern technology with the most compelling medium ever invented — in short, we're building the TV experience that we've always wanted for ourselves. In practice this means leveraging cloud delivery, modern tech stacks, machine learning, and hand-crafted app experiences on all of our platforms. We aim to deliver a rock solid experience on the streaming basics, while cooking up next multi-screen and multi-user playback experiences.

Lead Android Software Engineer

The Android team at Philo is responsible for building our product experience on four different platforms from one codebase — Android Mobile, Android TV, Amazon Fire Tablets, and Amazon FireTV. We're a small collaborative team building apps with high engagement and millions of installs, which collectively are responsible for a huge fraction of the billions of minutes watched on Philo each year. We are passionate about crafting the best possible UX to connect our users with the content they love, providing a seamless viewing experience while surprising them with new features and capabilities.

Engineering leads at Philo lead by example, and are expected to ship features, triage bugs, manage releases, and generally advocate for quality throughout the codebase. We are seeking an enthusiastic, experienced Android engineer with a deep technical background building high-quality, high-engagement Android applications for TV and mobile. You will help model best-practices to the team, and unblock your teammates when they are stuck.

Responsibilities:

  • Lead technical direction for Android development, ensuring code quality, scalability, and performance.
  • Drive continuous improvements to the reliability, performance, and UI of the Android applications.
  • Provide technical leadership to members of the Android team, including input on system architecture and design tradeoffs.
  • Help the team manage and plan for the application releases.
  • Monitor app performance and triage crashes, bugs and performance regressions as they arise.
  • Collaborate with internal stakeholders across marketing, support, design, product, and data science teams to ensure smooth feature delivery.
  • Own the best practices within the codebase; lead by example by improving the codebase and its supporting documentation as you go.

Qualifications:

  • 8+ years of software development experience
  • Experience with Kotlin, Coroutines, and their surrounding ecosystem
  • Experience developing an Android app for TV platforms
  • Experience with Jetpack Compose
  • Experience with MVVM, MVI, and/or Clean Architecture
  • Experience using SQL-based tools for application monitoring and alerting

Nice to have:

  • Experience with video playback and ExoPlayer
  • Experience with GraphQL-based APIs
  • Experience with TV Integration Framework
  • Experience with cross device interoperability (e.g. casting)
  • Experience building multi-modal experiences

Status: Full-time
Location: San Francisco, CA or remote within the U.S.
Compensation: Includes annual salary between $162K - $240K depending on experience and location, company stock options and health benefits

We value a diverse and inclusive workplace and we welcome people of different backgrounds, experiences, skills, and perspectives. Philo is an equal opportunity employer. We believe that everyone does their best work when they are supported by each other and the company, and we offer a generous set of benefits to make sure the Philo team is happy and healthy.
