Android Lead

Build Eagle One for Android from the ground up, using the same servers as the iPhone app.

You will build features yourself and take them all the way to the App Store, where students use them. That is product experience you can put on your résumé.

We are a Claude shop: the team builds with Claude and Claude Code every day. You do not need experience with Claude itself, but you do need experience working with AI tools.

What you will own

• The Android app from the first commit to the Play Store
• Matching the iPhone app’s features, read from the shared API
• Android releases, testing and quality

What you need to know

• Hands-on experience using AI tools to write, debug or explain code
• Kotlin, including null safety, data classes and coroutines
• Jetpack Compose: building screens, managing state, lists and navigation
• Calling a JSON API with Retrofit or Ktor
• Android Studio and Gradle: building, running on a device and debugging
• Git, including branches and pull requests, and reviewing other people’s code
• How an app is released on Google Play

Nice to have

• An app on Google Play
• Google Maps on Android
• Push notifications with Firebase

The terms

• Open to freshmen and sophomores at Boston College
• We are looking for people who want to stay on the team through graduation
• About 5 hours a week on average, scheduled around your classes. Team leads may need a little more.
• A 30 to 60 minute team stand-up each week, which counts toward those hours
• Open to the occasional team get-together
• Unpaid, with a share of Eagle One that vests over time
