Staff Android Engineer

We are Generac, a leading energy technology company committed to powering a smarter world.

Over the 60 plus years of Generac’s history, we’ve been dedicated to energy innovation. From creating the home standby generator market category, to our current evolution into an energy technology solutions company, we continue to push new boundaries.

In the role of

working in

, you will be part of the

team.

The Generac Mobile Platform Team is the engine room for everything mobile. It owns the architecture and design-system components that every feature team relies on, and it shapes the core experiences, from onboarding to performance and reliability safeguards. With its mandate broadening to underpin advanced home energy management capabilities for both ecobee and Generac, the Mobile Platform team’s work will power the next wave of a smarter, more efficient, and connected homes – delivering real time data visibility plus system wide insights and recommendations. Working closely with Product, UX, Firmware, Data, Cloud Services, and peer mobile feature teams, the group turns ambitious ideas into polished, production-ready code.

This position reports to

and works closely with

- Set the architectural North Star. Help own and evolve the Android roadmap – think modularization, KMP adoption, and Compose-first UI – while coordinating decisions with other engineers across multiple feature squads about how to continue engineering the plane while it’s midair and refueling.

- Raise the engineering bar. Introduce and enforce clear coding standards, automated checks, and agile rituals that show up in the metrics: higher crash-free sessions, faster release cycles with fewer defects, and happier developers.

- Let customer signals guide the build. Translate Play-store reviews, user journey analytics, and AB testing data into concrete product bets and technical backlog items.

- Grow great engineers. Mentor developers across the mobile team through thoughtful code reviews, exemplary pull requests and lunch and ‘lunch and learn’ talks to leave code and people better than you found them.

- Drive mission critical initiatives. Break 6-month epics into shippable milestones, delegate intelligently, unblock the team, and keep leadership up to date on progress and risk. We’re building the future of home energy mobile platforms, and you’ll help us accelerate that.

- Partner across the organization. Collaborate effectively with Product Management, UX, QA, and other Engineering teams.

Minimum Qualifications

- Android app builder. You’ve been shipping mobile apps with complex features on, at least Android, for over 7 years and have used Kotlin for at least 3 years.

- Modern Android toolkit mastery. Comfortable with coroutines, dependency-injection frameworks, and Jetpack libraries – especially Compose for UI.

- Experience with Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) in the wild. You’ve used KMP to share code across platforms and know where it shines and where it doesn’t.

- Architecture & communication chops. You can zoom out to craft a scalable module graph, then zoom in to articulate the “why” to engineers, PMs, and designers alike.

- Relentless refactor-er. You enjoy retiring legacy patterns, paying down tech debt, and leaving the codebase measurably healthier.

- People first collaborator. Mentors generously, seeks diverse perspectives, and fosters psychological safety on distributed teams.

- Home energy management curiosity. Energized by solving problems that make homes more efficient, secure, and delightful.
