We're an encouraging, inclusive, and highly collaborative team where engineers are encouraged to take ownership, influence technical direction, and turn ambitious ideas into real customer impact.

• Develop and deliver native Android features end-to-end — from technical development through coding, testing, deployment, and production support — demonstrating a deep dedication to ownership and quality.

• Contribute to architecture decisions that shape the Homepage Android experience and align with eBay's broader mobile platform strategy.

• Drive complex projects across multiple turning points, proactively identifying risks and working multi-functionally to keep delivery on track.

• Raise the engineering bar through thoughtful code and build reviews, mentoring teammates, and contributing to team coding standards and guidelines.

• Find opportunities to improve engineering velocity through reusable components, tooling, and better patterns within the Android codebase.

• Share knowledge with the team and broader Android community to foster a culture of continuous learning and technical excellence.

• Strong collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across engineering, product, and design.

• Experience in mentoring peers and contributing positively to team culture and engineering practices.

• High learning ability, dedicated with a growth mindset — eager to grow both technically and in cross-functional ways.
