Senior Android Engineer

Who You'll Be Joining

The Generac Mobile Platform Team is the engine room for everything mobile. It owns the architecture and design-system components that every feature team relies on, and it shapes the core experiences, from onboarding to performance and reliability safeguards. With its mandate broadening to underpin advanced home energy management capabilities for Generac, the Mobile Platform team's work will power the next wave of smarter, more efficient, and connected homes – delivering real time data visibility plus system wide insights and recommendations. Working closely with Product, UX, Firmware, Data, Cloud Services, and peer mobile feature teams, the group turns ambitious ideas into polished, production-ready code. The team now seeks a Senior Android Engineer who's excited to contribute to this craft-focused, impact-driven team and push the boundaries of energy management innovation for millions of daily users.

This role follows a hybrid schedule, with in-office work required on Wednesdays and Thursdays to support collaboration, and flexibility to work remotely for the remainder of the week.

How You'll Make An Impact

• Contribute to architectural excellence. Work with the team to implement and evolve the Android roadmap – including modularization, KMP adoption, and Compose-first UI – while collaborating with engineers across multiple feature squads.
• Deliver high-quality code. Write clean, maintainable code that adheres to team standards, contributes to automated checks, and shows up in the metrics: higher crash-free sessions, faster release cycles with fewer defects.
• Build with the customer in mind. Use Play Store reviews, user journey analytics, and A/B testing data to inform your technical decisions and product implementations.
• Mentor and collaborate. Support other developers through thoughtful code reviews, exemplary pull requests, and knowledge sharing to leave code and people better than you found them.
• Execute on critical initiatives. Break down complex features into shippable increments, collaborate with teammates to unblock progress, and deliver on commitments. We're building the future of home energy mobile platforms, and you'll help us accelerate that.
• Partner across the organization. Collaborate effectively with Product Management, UX, QA, and other Engineering teams.
