**Primary Focus**

* **Architecture & System Design**
* Define and evolve the overall Android application architecture, including modularization strategy, layering, and domain boundaries.
* Establish architectural standards (Clean Architecture, MVI/MVVM, multi-module Compose-first design).
* Design scalable solutions for networking, storage, concurrency, offline caching, and state management.
* Evaluate and approve architectural proposals from Senior Engineers and Lead Developers.
* Ensure consistency and correctness of architectural decisions across squads through ADRs and RFC reviews.
* **Platform Ownership & Technical Leadership**
* Lead complex technical initiatives such as multi-year migrations, platform redesigns, and modernization efforts (Compose migration, multi-module refactor, remote modularization).
* Own the Android platform roadmap: performance, stability, technical debt reduction, and developer experience improvements.
* Build reusable frameworks, libraries, and internal components for organization-wide adoption.
* Provide architectural guidance during feature planning, estimations, and system decomposition.
* **Code Quality & Engineering Excellence**
* Define enforceable coding standards, review guidelines, and architectural best practices.
* Promote scalable patterns for DI, navigation, state handling, synchronization, and background processing.
* Drive performance engineering efforts: startup optimization, memory profiling, and ANR reduction.
* Ensure robustness through error-handling frameworks, resiliency patterns, and fallback strategies.
* **Collaboration & Cross-Org Leadership**
* Collaborate with Backend Architects to design efficient API contracts, integration patterns, and versioning strategies.
* Work with iOS Architects to ensure cross-platform architectural consistency.
* Mentor and develop Senior Engineers and Leads; support domain-level technical growth.
* Communicate architectural vision and trade-offs to technical and non-technical stakeholders clearly and confidently.
* **Governance & Documentation**
* Maintain Architectural Decision Records (ADRs), technical guidelines, and architecture blueprints.
* Ensure all teams adhere to architecture principles, module boundaries, and code ownership conventions.
* Review critical technical documentation, ensuring clarity, accuracy, and alignment with organization standards.
