Member of Technical Staff (Android Engineer, Computer Growth)

About the role

Growth at Perplexity goes beyond incremental funnel optimization. The team sits close to the core product — we translate behavioral signals, model outputs, and fast experimentation into durable product surfaces used across consumer and enterprise workflows. You'll move fast, run many experiments in parallel, and own the outcome end-to-end, while respecting the constraints mobile brings: release cycles, store review, and version fragmentation.

What they’re looking for

Select a requirement to inspect fit, evidence or application context.

• 3+ years of professional mobile engineering experience shipping consumer apps at meaningful scale on Android.
• Strong native skills — Kotlin/Jetpack Compose — and the willingness to flex into other parts of the stack to unblock yourself and others.
• Experience owning a full release cycle: build and release tooling, phased rollouts, store review, crash and regression monitoring, and rolling back safely.
• Strong execution: you ship many experiments and product improvements in parallel and drive them to a clear outcome.
• Familiarity with A/B testing and experimentation platforms (Eppo, Statsig, Optimizely, or in-house equivalents) especially inside a versioned app.
• Comfort data-informed decision-making — you can pull, segment, and interpret your own funnel data.
• Strong product judgment; you translate user behavior and growth opportunities into simple, effective technical solutions.
• Self-motivated with strong ownership instincts; you propose experiments, ship features ahead of schedule, and drive improvements without asking for permission.
• Genuine interest and adoption of AI products and willingness to learn quickly.

Helpful, not always essential

• Direct experience on a growth or experimentation-heavy team
• Deep experience with in-app payments
• Experience with mobile attribution and measurement stacks (AppsFlyer, Adjust, Branch) and paid mobile acquisition.
• ASO experience, including store listing experiments and localized metadata.
• Comfort reaching into the backend or web stack to unblock yourself end-to-end.
• Time spent at a fast-growing startup or on a high-ownership engineering team.
