Full description

Company:

SimpleStudy is a consumer AI platform for students. We help them stay motivated to study their subjects - everything from Biology and Mathematics to Literature and Art.

Our small team has already helped +1.5 M students worldwide (UK, Ireland, Brazil, South Africa, and Australia) study better, and ~40–50k new students join us every week.

We are a remote team with a Lisbon office, having recently raised ~$4M seed round with incredible investors from Strava, OpenAI, and Meta.

Responsibilities and key results:

  • Own the mobile app end-to-end — architecture, performance, release process, and roadmap — without needing the problem framed in advance
  • Lead and mentor the two existing engineers already supporting mobile, setting technical direction and raising the bar for mobile craft
  • Partner directly with Affan on engineering strategy and with Oisin on product direction where mobile intersects with growth, onboarding, and retention
  • Drive native-feel polish: smooth animations, responsive interactions, platform-specific conventions (iOS/Android)
  • Work in a PLG/A/B testing environment — ship features, instrument, measure impact, iterate fast
  • Own app store presence and release cadence — versioning, store optimization, crash/performance monitoring
  • Potentially help grow a dedicated mobile team as the app becomes a bigger part of the business

Requirements:

  • At least 5 years of experience with native Android development
  • Proficiency in Kotlin
  • Proven experience building and shipping consumer-grade Android applications
  • Experience with Jetpack Compose and Android Views
  • Familiarity with Android frameworks and tools such as Firebase, push notifications, and Play Store deployment
  • Experience with Android Studio, testing frameworks, and Google Play Console
  • Experience with common Android architecture and state management patterns
  • Experience with debugging, performance optimization, and crash monitoring
  • Experience leading and mentoring engineering teams
  • Bonus: Java experience
  • Bonus: iOS development (Swift)

Conditions:

  • Remote in Europe (preference: Western/continental Europe)
  • Portugal relocation sponsorship possible
  • Salary: no fixed budget. Flexible.
  • Stock options: yes
  • Contract type: full-time employment, independent contractor
  • Tech Stack: Node.js, React.js, React Native, Next.js, Nest.js, Expo, Prisma, Tailwind, AWS
