About this role
Wallapop is a Barcelona based scale-up driven by the purpose to empower people to embrace a more conscious and human way of consumption. We believe in a world where collaborative economy is mainstream. This is what drives us. 💫
Wallapop operates in Spain, Italy and Portugal, offering a catalogue of several hundreds of millions of products and services. Powered by technical innovation and continuous improvement, we bring together the scale & trust of classifieds with the marketplace’s convenience & reach. 🌱 Our mission is to enable a connected trade ecosystem, making 2nd-hand the norm through smart use of technology.
The Challenge 🧩
You will join the Android Platform Team , the engine room that enables our mobile engineers to ship features to millions of users with speed and confidence. In a 10+ year-old codebase with 50+ modules, your mission is to eliminate friction and build the foundation of our mobile future.
What you will find:
• Developer Experience (DevEx) at Scale: You won’t just build features; you will build the tools, CI/CD pipelines, and architectures that other engineers use daily.
• Deep Tooling & Build Systems: We manage a complex modular environment where Gradle and CI/CD automation are at the heart of everything we do.
• System-Level Thinking: From optimizing build time to managing our Dagger/Anvil DI graph, you’ll tackle challenges that impact the entire Android Chapter.
• Data-Driven Infrastructure: We don't guess; we measure. You will use metrics to identify bottlenecks in the development lifecycle and prioritize what to fix next.
What You Will Do 👇
You’ll be the "Engineer for the Engineers," driving technical excellence across the organization. To do so, you will:
• Master the Build System: Maintain and optimize our Gradle configuration, plugins, and build logic to ensure fast and reliable builds.
• Optimize the Feedback Loop: Improve CI/CD pipelines and local iteration speed to ensure developers can test and deploy code faster.
• Own the Release Engine: Maintain and evolve our automated release process , ensuring that shipping to millions of users is a non-event.
• Standardize & Modernize: Help define the "Golden Path" for Android development, providing the modular architecture and patterns that teams need to succeed.
• Cross-Platform Collaboration: Work alongside iOS and Web Platform engineers to align on tooling, infrastructure, and DevOps culture.
• Infrastructure as Code: Manage and scale our cloud resources (using AWS when needed) to support our mobile infrastructure.
What We’re Looking For 🔎
• Android Enthusiast & Expert: Deep knowledge of the Android SDK and Kotlin. You don't just use libraries; you understand how the system works under the hood.
• Build System Mastery: Extensive experience with Gradle (writing custom plugins, optimizing build scripts, and understanding the configuration phase).
• The "Platform" Mindset: A passion for Developer Experience (DevEx) —you find joy in making your colleagues' lives easier and their builds faster.
• Performance & Stability: Experience using profilers and monitoring tools to debug complex issues like memory leaks, ANRs, or slow startup times.
• Modularization at Scale: Proven experience managing large-scale, multi-module projects and understanding the trade-offs of different architectural patterns.
• CI/CD & Automation: Solid experience with CI tools (GitHub Actions, Bitrise, etc.) and a pragmatic approach to automating the full release lifecycle.
• Polyglot Curiosity: Comfortable using Python for scripting and an interest in learning AWS infrastructure when needed.
What Would Be A Plus 🚀
• Experience with Gradle Enterprise (Develocity) or writing custom Gradle plugins.
• Knowledge of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) or basic AWS management.
• Previous experience in a Developer Experience (DevEx) or Mobile Infra role.
• Experience managing Design Systems from an infrastructure perspective (theming engines, token automation).
