Start your journey https://www.strava.com/subscription with Strava today. Our mission is simple: to motivate people to live their best active lives. We believe in the power of movement to connect and drive people forward. ABOUT THIS ROLE The Community Engagement team at Strava builds the features that help athletes connect, compete, and stay engaged with the communities they care about — clubs, challenges, social feeds, and the interactions that make Strava more than a fitness tracker. This team sits at the heart of what makes Strava meaningful to its 180M+ users. As a Senior Engineer I on the CE team, you'll own Android delivery for some of Strava's most-used community surfaces. You'll work closely with product managers, designers, and backend engineers to build implementations that are strong for users and sound under the hood. This role carries real ownership — you'll be shaping how features get built, not just executing on decisions made elsewhere. We follow a flexible hybrid model that translates to more than half of your time on-site in our Denver office, three days per week. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Design and ship Android features for Strava's community and social surfaces, from technical planning through delivery - Partner with server engineers on shared implementations, contributing to solutions that work well at every layer of the stack - Collaborate with PMs and designers as a full participant in planning — helping shape scope, flag trade-offs, and advocate for technically sound approaches - Contribute to code reviews and help raise the technical bar on the team - Deliver medium-to-large scope projects accurately and on time, with minimal oversight - Begin mentoring junior engineers on the team as you grow your leadership presence WHAT YOU'LL BRING TO THE TEAM - Solid Android engineering fundamentals, including Kotlin, Jetpack, and modern Android architecture patterns - A product mindset — you engage with PMs and designers as a partner, not just a ticket taker - Strong cross-functional collaboration skills, particularly working with backend engineers on shared implementations - The ability to assess technical trade-offs and advocate for solutions that serve both users and the codebase - A track record of delivering features end-to-end with accuracy and ownership - Experience with social or community features (feeds, groups, challenges, notifications) is a plus - Prior experience at a company with a large-scale consumer Android app is a plus - Familiarity with Android performance optimization at scale is a plus WHY JOIN US?
