Member of Technical Staff (Android Engineer, Computer Growth)

Join Perplexity, a leading AI company, as an Android Engineer on the Growth team. You'll be responsible for optimizing the mobile funnel, leading experiments, owning in-app purchase surfaces, and partnering with various teams to drive growth. This role requires strong mobile engineering experience, familiarity with A/B testing, and a genuine interest in AI products.

• Design, build, and own growth surfaces across the mobile funnel — install, activation, onboarding, lifecycle, conversion, retention, and paid upgrade moments — on Android.
• Lead experiments end-to-end, from hypothesis and instrumentation through implementation, analysis, and rollout, shipping many in parallel despite app release cadence.
• Own in-app purchase and paywall surfaces: billing integrations, subscription and credit purchase flows, entitlement correctness, and pricing and packaging experiments.

• Comfort data-informed decision-making — you can pull, segment, and interpret your own funnel data
• Strong product judgment; you translate user behavior and growth opportunities into simple, effective technical solutions
• Self-motivated with strong ownership instincts; you propose experiments, ship features ahead of schedule, and drive improvements without asking for permission
• Genuine interest and adoption of AI products and willingness to learn quickly
• Experience owning a full release cycle: build and release tooling, phased rollouts, store review, crash and regression monitoring, and rolling back safely
• Strong execution: you ship many experiments and product improvements in parallel and drive them to a clear outcome
• Familiarity with A/B testing and experimentation platforms (Eppo, Statsig, Optimizely, or in-house equivalents) especially inside a versioned app
• 3+ years of professional mobile engineering experience shipping consumer apps at meaningful scale on Android
• Strong native skills — Kotlin/Jetpack Compose — and the willingness to flex into other parts of the stack to unblock yourself and others
• Direct experience on a growth or experimentation-heavy team
• Deep experience with in-app payments
• Experience with mobile attribution and measurement stacks (AppsFlyer, Adjust, Branch) and paid mobile acquisition
• ASO experience, including store listing experiments and localized metadata
• Comfort reaching into the backend or web stack to unblock yourself end-to-end
• Time spent at a fast-growing startup or on a high-ownership engineering team
