Principal, Android POS in Chennai, Tennessee at Liven

Join the revolution in hospitality tech!

Nomni is the all-in-one platform built for hospitality operators - bringing POS, payments, ordering, loyalty, procurement, marketing, and data together in one system, with AI at its core.

We exist because hospo tech has been built around what's good for the people providing it, not the people using it. We're changing that. Built by operators, for operators - with 35,000 venues already on the platform across Australia and Southeast Asia.

One platform. One team. One company accountable for the outcomes that matter.

• Lead the delivery of key Android capabilities while maintaining high engineering standards.
• Partner with Product, Design, QA, Infrastructure, and Platform Engineering to deliver customer-focused solutions.
• Reduce technical debt and establish sustainable architectural patterns.
• Guide the team toward feature parity with iOS while improving platform quality.
• Mentor senior engineers and help grow technical capability across the Android team.
• Establish engineering best practices, code quality standards, testing strategies, and development processes.
• Lead technical investigations and resolve complex production issues.
• Influence engineering strategy and contribute to technology decisions across Nomni.

Qualifications

• Extensive professional Android development experience building large-scale production applications.
• Expert knowledge of Kotlin and modern Android architecture.
• Strong understanding of Android SDK, Jetpack libraries, Coroutines, Flow, and dependency injection.
• Experience designing scalable, maintainable mobile architectures.
• Proven ability to lead technical direction on complex engineering projects.
• Strong understanding of software design principles, testing, performance optimization, and CI/CD.
• Experience mentoring senior engineers and driving engineering excellence.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

Good to Have

• Experience with Android-based POS or payment systems.
• Knowledge of payment integrations and peripheral hardware.
• Experience with offline-first applications and synchronization.
• Exposure to enterprise-scale SaaS platforms.
• Experience working with distributed remote engineering teams.

Success in This Role

Within your first year, you'll:

• Improve platform reliability and reduce recurring production incidents.
• Drive meaningful architectural improvements across the Android codebase.
• Accelerate delivery of strategic Android initiatives.
• Strengthen engineering capability through mentorship and technical leadership.
• Help establish Android as a scalable platform supporting Nomni's continued global expansion.
