This is the Principal-level technical authority for Deltatre's Android Product Engineering team operating on AXIS and DIVA.
This is a senior individual-contributor role, as the Principal Engineer leads through technical expertise, domain knowledge, and strategic influence. Your authority is technical, exercised through architectural decisions, code review, and the way you raise the standard around you.
You will partner with the Technical Director to define long-term Android architectural direction across the product portfolio, set engineering standards, and act as the deep technical authority across multiple Android subsystems. The work spans architectural integrity, modernisation of the Android stack, and influencing how other Android engineers think about quality at scale.
Responsibilities
Technical leadership
Engineering excellence
Domain ownership
Collaboration and influence
You operate at the level where architecture becomes a question of judgement, not just technique. You make Android platform decisions that hold up over years, document them clearly, and bring other engineers along with you. You are credible across multiple Android teams because you do the work and you say what you actually think — not because of your title.

Who Thrives Here
Principal Android engineering at Deltatre is technical authority without distance from the code. You are still the engineer who can sit down with a stuck team and work through the problem with them. You are also the person who can sit in a room with product leadership and explain, in their language, why the architectural choice that looks expensive this quarter is the cheap one for next year.
People who thrive in this role tend to be honest about technical trade-offs (they don't oversell solutions or under-warn about risks), generous with their reasoning (they explain why, not only what), and patient with the long-arc work where the value of a decision becomes visible only over multiple Android releases. The role asks for deep Android expertise plus the patience and credibility to influence other engineers without managing them.
