About Speed Radio
Speed Radio is a network for spoken ideas. Built for how people actually listen today.
We took voice out of long podcasts, rambling notes, and closed rooms, and turned it into something fast, social, and discoverable. One minute at a time.
This is not background audio. It is a high signal, short form voice that travels. Ideas, perspectives, and people moving through a feed, not buried in episodes.
We exist to make voice work like modern media should. Immediate. Shareable. Algorithmically discovered. Something you can dip into anywhere and still come away with something that sticks.
At Speed Radio, we optimize for clarity, pace, and impact. No filler. No hierarchy of who gets heard. Just ideas competing on merit, carried by voice.
And everyone building this reflects that. How we communicate, how we ship, how we show up externally. The product is the behaviour.
The Role
We are looking for a Senior Android Developer who has built and shipped consumer products that people actually use.
This is a hands-on role. You will write code, ship features, and own outcomes.
You will work directly with the CTO and product team to shape the core experience. Not just how it works, but how it feels.
If you care about performance, speed, and building something people use daily, this will suit you.
If you are looking for structure, hand-holding, or a slow environment, this will not.
What You Will Own
Core Android Experience
- End-to-end ownership of the Android app (Kotlin-first)
- Shipping features from zero to production
- Making decisions that prioritise speed without compromising quality
Performance & Reliability
- App responsiveness, load time, and smoothness across devices
- Crash reduction and stability
- Efficient use of memory, network, and battery
Audio & Feed System
- Seamless audio playback
- Low latency, minimal buffering
- Fast, intuitive feed interactions
- A product that feels instant
Product Collaboration
- Working directly with CTO, product, and design
- Turning ideas into shipped features quickly
- Contributing to product decisions, not just execution
Speed & Iteration
- Shipping fast and often
- Running tight feedback loops
- Improving continuously based on real usage
What Success Looks Like
Within 30 days
- You are shipping consistently, fixing obvious issues, and making the app noticeably better.
- You understand the core flows and are already contributing to product decisions.
Within 90 days
- You own a critical surface like feed, playback, or engagement.
- The app is faster, smoother, and more stable across devices because of your work.
- Release cycles are quicker and more reliable.
Within 6 months
- You own the Android experience end-to-end.
- The app is fast, stable, and built for rapid iteration across a wide range of devices.
- Your work directly shapes how users experience Speed Radio.
Requirements
- 6–9 years experience in Android development
- Strong, production-level experience in Kotlin (required)
- Experience building consumer (B2C) mobile applications
- Strong understanding of Android architecture and best practices
- Experience working closely with product teams
- Comfortable in early-stage environments
- Bias toward building and shipping
Nice to Have
- Experience with audio streaming (ExoPlayer or similar)
- Experience with feed-based or algorithmic products
- Familiarity with Jetpack Compose
- Exposure to analytics and experimentation
- Experience with social or content platforms
What This Is NOT
- This is not a role where you wait for detailed specs.
- This is not a role where you only work on tickets.
- This is not a role where someone else owns product decisions.
- This is not a role for engineers who avoid ambiguity.
What This Requires
- You are comfortable writing production-grade Kotlin every day.
- You care deeply about performance and product experience.
- You can move fast without breaking things that matter.
- You take ownership without being asked.
Profile We Are Looking For
- Builder mindset
- High ownership
- Product-focused
- Fast, reliable executor
- Clear communicator
This role will define how Speed Radio feels on Android.
Every interaction. Every second of playback. Every reason a user comes back.
