About the role

  • You'll work at the cutting edge of the KMP ecosystem, shipping production code to real users on multiple platforms, while keeping platform-specific layers feeling truly native.
  • We're looking for a Kotlin expert who has been in the trenches with KMP - someone who has wrestled with interop edge cases, navigated the wasm target, and shipped Compose Multiplatform UI that feels polished everywhere.
  • Ship production-grade Compose Multiplatform UIs that feel native and performant on Android, iOS, and web.

Responsibilities

  • Design and build shared KMP modules covering networking, data persistence, business logic, and domain models used across Android, iOS, and wasm targets.
  • Build optimized platform-specific targets - leveraging Swift/Obj-C interop for iOS and Kotlin/Wasm for web - to meet the performance and UX bar of each platform.
  • Architect clean platform-expect/actual boundaries and maintain Kotlin/Native and Kotlin/JS interop layers.
  • Set up and manage Koin Multiplatform for dependency injection across all targets, ensuring clean and testable module graphs.
  • Collaborate with platform teams (iOS, Android, web) to align on shared APIs, versioning, and release cadences.
  • Drive KMP best practices across the organization - tooling, testing strategies, CI/CD for multiplatform builds.
  • Lead development of new AI and media-driven features within the shared codebase.
  • Participate in architecture reviews and uphold high standards for shared module design and testability.
  • Hands-on Compose Multiplatform experience: building shared UI across multiple targets with platform-specific adaptations.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of software engineering experience with deep, expert-level Kotlin - you know the language spec, not just the idioms.
  • Experience with Koin Multiplatform for dependency injection across KMP targets in production codebases.
  • Experience targeting Kotlin/Wasm and/or Kotlin/JS, including the Compose for Web stack.
  • Ability to write readable, maintainable, thoroughly documented, and well-tested shared code.

Nice to have

  • experience with KMP libraries (Ktor, SQLDelight) in production environments.
  • contributions to the KMP/CMP open-source ecosystem or close familiarity with JetBrains' roadmap.

Compensation

  • The anticipated annual base salary range for this role is between $180,000-$230,000.
  • When determining compensation, a number of factors will be considered, including skills, experience, job scope, location, and competitive compensation market data.

  • Competitive salary and generous company equity
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance - 99.99% of premiums covered by Cantina
  • 42 days of paid time off, including:
  • Generous parental leave & fertility support
  • 401(k) retirement savings plan
