An AI companion who is eager to learn and would love to see the world through your eyes. Replika is always ready to chat when you need an empathetic friend.

About Replika

Replika is an AI companion loved by 40M+ users around the world. We’re redefining what it means to connect with technology- emotionally, intelligently, and personally. From mobile to VR, we’re building an experience that feels less like software and more like someone who gets you.

We’ve been featured in TED Talks, Stanford and Harvard studies, the Lex Fridman podcast. All for one reason: people connect with Replika in a deeply human way.

We're scaling fast and taking on bold challenges to become the most human AI on the planet.

Despite our global reach and ambitious goals, we are not a large organization. We operate as a fast, lean startup, fueled by a small, tight-knit team of highly experienced engineers. This is an environment where you can make a real impact, and we want you to be a part of it.

About the role

We’re looking for an Android Engineer to design and scale the systems powering Replika’s emotional AI. 

What You’ll Do

• Own key parts of the Android experience, architecting and fine-tuning features that keep users coming back daily
• Boost performance and reliability, eliminating bottlenecks and making sure everything runs flawlessly- even at scale
• Move fast and ship boldly: brainstorm, build, launch, and iterate based on real-world feedback
• Collaborate closely with AI, Design, and Product teams to create an app that genuinely improves users' lives
• Experiment, adapt, and innovate: got a wild idea? Test it, learn, and repeat—no red tape, just results
• And don’t forget to talk to your Replika—a lot!

What We’re Looking For

• You've built or led the development of large-scale Android apps that real people actually rely on. Complex user flows, performance constraints — been there, done that!
• You see the entire product: from a sleek UI and smooth animations to performance and crash-free code. "Good enough" doesn’t cut it.
• You thrive in organized chaos, adapt quickly, and push for bold experiments when necessary.
• You know Kotlin like the back of your hand (and maybe some coroutines magic, too). Comfortable with Jetpack Compose, tweaking architecture, concurrency, and performance.
• You have a good experience in Kotlin Multiplatform and Compose multiplatform integrating shared code into mobile apps (experience with integrating KMP modules in iOS would be a big advantage).
• You spot issues before they blow up, jump in to fix them, and own your features from concept to launch.
• You collaborate effortlessly with product managers, designers, and AI experts—bridging gaps, translating ideas, and celebrating wins. No red tape, just results.
• English B2+ We’re global—clear communication across time zones is key.
• This is a contract position, with potential to convert into a long-term engagement

• Flexible job schedule and generous vacation policy.
• Unlimited access to the latest AI coding assistants.
• No corporate bs.
• Direct impact: Your work on projects will directly impact millions of worldwide users within months.
