About the role

We’re looking for a Staff Android Mobile Engineer to help lead and shape the highly anticipated Aave app. You’ll build high-quality, secure and intuitive experiences across our ecosystem while working closely with design, product and engineering teams. This role offers meaningful ownership, deep technical impact, and the opportunity to push the boundaries of mobile and blockchain UX.

How you can make an impact:

• Develop and ship new features for Aave’s mobile app using React Native, maintaining a scalable and reliable codebase
• Integrate core blockchain functionality, including wallet connectivity, transaction signing, on-chain data reads, gas estimation, and account-abstraction flows
• Build secure wallet and key-management interfaces, and deliver real-time data experiences such as balances, yield updates, and notifications
• Collaborate closely with designers to deliver pixel-perfect UI, refined interactions, and a cohesive mobile design system
• Work with backend and protocol engineers to integrate on-chain/off-chain data, supply/bridge/vault flows, and analytics
• Optimise app performance across memory, battery, cold-start time, and overall responsiveness
• Partner cross-functionally on requirements, timelines, security reviews, code quality, and long-term architecture

Let’s connect if you have:

• 5+ years building consumer mobile apps, including 3+ years with React Native and strong TypeScript proficiency
• Deep knowledge of mobile architecture, navigation, animations, and native module integration
• Experience integrating blockchain features (wallets, transactions, gas, RPCs) and familiarity with account abstraction is a plus
• Proven ability to ship polished, design-precise mobile experiences with strong UX sensibilities
• Experience with secure storage, encryption, and managing sensitive user data
• Comfortable owning large product areas end-to-end and collaborating in fast-moving, cross-functional teams

Haven’t quite met all the criteria? Let’s not miss out on the chance to speak. Whilst you might not meet every single requirement, you might bring other, more exciting skills to the companies!
