Perplexity is hiring a senior Android engineer to own growth surfaces across the mobile funnel for its AI answer engine and Computer product. You'll design, build, and ship end-to-end growth experiences spanning install, activation, onboarding, lifecycle messaging, conversion, retention, and in-app purchase moments on Android. The role requires owning the full mobile release cycle—from hypothesis and experimentation through implementation, analysis, and rollout—while managing app store constraints, version fragmentation, and release cadence.
Key responsibilities include: designing and implementing growth surfaces across the mobile funnel; leading A/B tests and experiments in parallel using flag-driven and server-driven patterns; owning in-app purchase and paywall integrations with billing systems; building push and lifecycle notification experiences that drive retention; ensuring cross-platform consistency with web and iOS; optimizing app store performance and attribution; and partnering with Product, Design, Data Science, Monetization, and Marketing teams to translate behavioral signals into durable product surfaces.
You'll need 3+ years of professional mobile engineering experience shipping consumer apps at scale on Android, with strong Kotlin and Jetpack Compose skills. Experience owning full release cycles, A/B testing platforms (Eppo, Statsig, Optimizely), data-informed decision-making, and strong product judgment are essential. The ideal candidate is self-motivated with high ownership instincts, comfortable pulling and interpreting funnel data, and genuinely interested in AI products. Nice-to-haves include growth/experimentation team experience, in-app payments expertise, mobile attribution and measurement stack familiarity, ASO experience, and backend/web stack comfort.
