Please note that Digital Turbine is a hybrid work environment-only candidates local to the posting location will be considered.Digital Turbine runs on small, autonomous pods that own an outcome and a roadmap end to end. We hire engineers, not language specialists: we care that you can reason about systems, pick the right tool for the problem, and ship reliable software across the stack.
As a Lead Full Stack Android Engineer, you will drive the technical direction and architecture for the critical product surfaces that bring our marketplace together - campaign management and creation, unified dashboards and reporting, audience and asset tooling, and the APIs that connect demand to supply. You will provide technical leadership across front-end, back-end, and data engineering, steering the unified product architecture at the heart of our FY27 roadmap. The underlying platform requires heavy back-end engineering, low-latency optimization, and sophisticated algorithmic problem-solving to manage massive throughput and real-time marketplace dynamics
About the Lead Full Stack Android Engineer:- Architect & Execute: Lead the design, architecture, and execution of high-impact, full-stack features-from responsive web front-ends to scalable back-end services and APIs-that power campaign management, reporting, and marketplace optimization
- Technical Strategy: Establish the technical direction across a polyglot stack, ensuring the front end remains lightweight by strategically pushing complex computational logic, data modeling, and heavy algorithmic weight into robust, highly scalable back-end services
- System Integration: Drive the design and integration of robust, well-designed APIs that unify DT products into a cohesive ecosystem, breaking down potential silos
- Operational Excellence: Take end-to-end accountability for service reliability, defining standards for testing, observability, performance, and on-call rotation while fostering a culture of collective quality
- Strategic Collaboration: Partner directly with product leads and key stakeholders to shape the technical roadmap, translate business requirements into architecture, and lead scoping and estimation efforts within your pod
- Mentorship & Standards: Champion engineering excellence by mentoring team members, conducting rigorous code reviews, driving automation, and establishing pragmatic architectural best practices
About you as the Lead Full Stack Android Engineer:- Platform Leadership: 5+ years of experience architecting and shipping production platforms, with a heavy, proven focus on backend architecture, system design, and deep code optimization
- Advanced Problem Solving: Strong algorithmic fundamentals, data structures, and a proven track record of leading solutions for complex data-processing or resource optimization problems
- Polyglot Mindset: Demonstrated capability to be highly effective in more than one language/ecosystem (eg, TypeScript/JavaScript, Java, Kotlin, Python, Go, Scala, or C++)-with a mindset that optimizes for the problem, not a single tool
- Full-Stack Mastery: Solid command of modern front-end frameworks (eg, React) and back-end service design, paired with deep experience utilizing relational and/or distributed data stores (MySQL, PostgreSQL, and similar)
- Engineering Fundamentals: Strong foundational expertise in API design, data modeling, testing methodology, and large-scale system design
- Autonomous Impact: Proven ability to operate with a high degree of autonomy, driving results and navigating ambiguity in a fast-paced, ownership-driven environment
Nice to have skills:- Experience with cloud platforms (AWS or GCP), containers, and CI/CD pipelines
- Exposure to the AdTech domain, dashboards/BI surfaces, or high-throughput, data-driven products
- Experience integrating ML or data services into live product workflows
