Leonardo.Ai is an Australian technology start-up. Our AI-powered platform allows users to create production-quality visual assets with unprecedented quality, speed, and style.
Join us as we embark on an exciting journey, building our next generation of products and features to achieve our mission. Unleash Creativity with the power of AI.
The role:
We’re looking for a hands-on Android lead to join our Native tribe. You’ll be working in a team that deeply values native design, not one-size-fits-all solutions. You’ll guide a small team of Android engineers and work closely with iOS, design, product, and AI to shape how our mobile tools come to life.
We’re building out the next phase of our mobile org, moving from one squad to two. This role will play a key part in making that possible, taking on leadership responsibilities, helping establish scalable ways of working, and supporting the team as we grow.
What you’ll do:
Lead with purpose – You’ll mentor a small group of Android engineers, help shape the direction of the work, and be a key partner to product, design, and engineering leadership.
Build high-quality native experiences – You’ll lean into what makes Android great and build fast, intuitive features with Jetpack Compose, Kotlin, and Coroutines.
Drive planning and architecture – From system design to implementation, you’ll bring clarity to how we approach new features, such as conversational UI.
Work closely with design – We don’t throw things over the fence here. You’ll work side by side with designers to shape ideas together early, not just deliver them late.
Raise the bar – You’ll write clean, scalable code, review PRs, and help set the tone for engineering excellence on the team.
Support others to grow – You’ll help your teammates move toward senior and staff levels with the right mix of support and challenge.
Stay curious – Whether it's a new pattern, library, or leadership approach, you’ll bring fresh thinking to the team.
Skills we love:
Android Craftsmanship: Strong engineering experience using Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Coroutines, and Flow.
Team Leadership: Experience guiding teams, whether formally or informally and creating a supportive, high-performing environment.
Architectural Thinking: A solid handle on app architecture, lifecycle management, and performance optimisation.
API & Tooling Proficiency: Comfort working with GraphQL APIs and Gradle build systems.
Collaborative Mindset: You naturally bring people into the process and keep stakeholders informed.
Technical Confidence: You know how to navigate complexity, make intelligent trade-offs, and bring others with you.
Startup Experience (Nice to Have): Background in fast-paced product teams where you’ve had to wear multiple hats.
Our Culture:
Inclusive Culture: We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and empowered. At Leonardo AI, we welcome and value your unique perspectives and experiences, as they are essential to our success.
Flexible Work Environment: We recognise the importance of maintaining a work-life balance. Enjoy the flexibility to work remotely or from our vibrant offices. We have employees across Australia, ensuring you can thrive both personally and professionally.
Empowering Growth: Your development is our priority. We offer continuous learning opportunities and career growth tailored to your goals. You’ll be encouraged to grow and excel in your career at Leonardo AI.
Impactful Work: Join us in shaping the future of AI. You'll work on innovative projects that have a meaningful impact, and your contributions will help drive advancements in AI creativity.
