AI-First Android Engineer

Job Overview

Grove Collaborative is a sustainability-focused consumer products company creating household and personal care essentials that are effective, beautifully designed, and healthier for people and the planet.

We are a certified B Corp, plastic-neutral, and on a mission to transform the CPG industry for good. THE ROLE Grove is hiring an AI-First Android Engineer - a senior, single-threaded owner of our Android surface who operates as an “engineer-as-a-team.

Job Description

” This isn’t a role where you hand-write every line and lean on AI for autocomplete.

This is a role where AI is your primary instrument: you direct fleets of coding agents, generate, review, and refactor at orders of magnitude beyond what a traditional engineer can produce, and take total ownership of features end-to-end - from discovery through production.

You will be measured by what ships, what stays up, and what customers feel - not by lines of code or tokens used. You operate in a new-world environment where one well-equipped engineer can deliver the output of a small team.

We expect you to compound your own leverage every quarter: better prompts, better evals, better agent harnesses, better guardrails. The bar isn’t “uses AI tools. ” The bar is “runs AI like a team you manage.

” WHAT YOU’LL OWN Direct multiple AI coding agents in parallel to design, build, test, and ship Android features in Kotlin against the Android SDK.
