About the role
Senior Android Developer (Kotlin Native)
About the Role
We're building Paperlens— a document intelligence app for India's next 500 million smartphone users. Scan, OCR, translate, extract tables, convert to Word/Excel — designed for Indian SMBs, students, and tier 2/3 city users who deal with Aadhaar, PAN, GST invoices, and government forms daily.
We're a small, fast-moving team. The person we hire will own the Android app end-to-end and ship features that real users pay for.
What you'll build
The core scan pipeline: camera capture, edge detection, perspective correction, multi-page PDF generation
On-device OCR for English and AI-powered tools (we have already tested the backend)
File intelligence: smart discovery of existing PDFs on device via MediaStore, AI-assisted renaming and organization
A scanner that actually works on a SDK Andriod 8+
What we're looking for
Must have
2+ years shipping production Android apps in Kotlin (not Flutter, not React Native — native)
At least 2 apps live on the Play Store you can point us to
Strong with Jetpack Compose, Coroutines/Flow, MVVM, Room, Retrofit
Good to have experience:
CameraX or Camera2 — you've built something that uses the camera, not just Intent.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE
ML Kit experience — Text Recognition, Document Scanner, or both
You've shipped through Scoped Storage / MediaStore / SAF and have opinions about which to use when
Understand bitmap memory management deeply enough that your app doesn't OOM on a 3GB RAM device
Strong bonus
Worked with OpenCV on Android or other image processing pipelines
Experience with PDF generation/manipulation — iText, PdfDocument, or PDFBox
Have integrated Tesseract or other OCR engines beyond ML Kit
Shipped apps with significant user bases in India (tier 2/3 user research a plus)
JNI / native C++ bridging for performance-critical paths
Have built a scanner, camera, or document app before (huge plus — say so loudly in your application)
Nice to have but not required
iOS experience or Kotlin Multiplatform — we'll need iOS eventually
Background in Android platform / AOSP
Built or contributed to open-source Android libraries
What we don't care about
Degrees from specific colleges
Years of experience on paper if you can demonstrate the skills
Whether you've worked at big tech — small-team builders preferred
Leetcode rank
How we work
Small team, direct communication, no layers
Weekly demo of what's shipped, not weekly status meetings
Heavy AI tooling in our workflow (Claude, Cursor) — you should be comfortable using AI to ship faster, but you review every line
Code quality and crash-free rate matter — we're building for users with one phone and patchy internet, not for a hackathon demo
Pay: ₹600,000.00 - ₹1,200,000.00 per year
Benefits:
Work from home
Work Location: Remote
