🌐 Who We Are
Bankjoy is a Y Combinator and Bessemer Venture Partner backed FinTech startup. We are changing the way community banks and credit unions do business, enabling them to become tech-driven and digital first. Bankjoy provides modern digital banking products including mobile banking, online banking, online account opening, loan origination, and conversational AI. Our mission is to revolutionize banking tech infrastructure by leading digital transformation at financial institutions — big and small.
The Role
As Android Tech Lead at Bankjoy, you will own the technical direction, architecture, and delivery of our Android banking platform while leading a team of three Android engineers embedded across our digital banking value streams.
This is a hands-on leadership role. You will write production code daily, drive architectural decisions, and ensure our Android product meets the reliability, security, and performance standards that financial institutions and their members depend on. You will work cross-functionally with Product Management, iOS, QA, and backend engineering to deliver a seamless, high-quality mobile banking experience.

Define and enforce Android engineering standards across the team including code quality, testing practices, and release readiness
-
Lead solution design for new features and major platform initiatives, ensuring scalability, security, and maintainability
-
Drive adoption of modern Android development practices — Jetpack Compose, MVVM/Clean Architecture, coroutines, and dependency injection
-
Partner with iOS Tech Lead and backend engineering to ensure consistent cross-platform product behavior and API contract alignment
Execution & Delivery
-
Own Android delivery across digital banking value streams — planning, estimation, milestone tracking, and risk management

Break down complex initiatives into executable engineering tasks with clear dependencies and timelines
-
Proactively identify and resolve technical blockers before they impact release schedules
-
Collaborate with QA to define Android-specific testing strategy — unit, integration, and UI automation using Espresso or equivalent
