Senior Software Engineer (Android)

Who We Are

Healthcare needs a better rhythm: one that keeps care continuous and deeply human. Heidi is building an AI Care Partner that works alongside clinicians to make that possible.

We’re a team of doctors, engineers, designers, researchers, and creatives building tools that help clinicians stay focused on what matters most: their patients.

In just 18 months, Heidi has given back more than 18 million hours to healthcare professionals — supporting 73 million patient visits in 116 countries. Today, more than two million patient visits each week are powered by Heidi worldwide.

Backed by nearly $100 million in funding, we’re growing in the US, UK, Canada, and Europe, partnering with leading health systems including the NHS, Beth Israel Lahey Health, and Monash Health.

The Role

We’re seeking a Senior Android Engineer to join our Mobile team and lead the development of our first native Android applications. You’ll bring Heidi functionalities into the hands of clinicians, working closely with our iOS engineers and product designers to deliver seamless, beautiful, and secure mobile experiences.

You’ll be responsible for architecting and building Heidi’s Android app from the ground up, ensuring it is robust, scalable, and optimized for performance.

This includes integrating on-device machine learning models using frameworks like TensorFlow Lite or ML Kit for healthcare features such as real-time image analysis or clinical decision support, and leveraging Compose and other Jetpack libraries to ensure maintainable, modern code.

You’ll manage the full Android development lifecycle-from setting up CI/CD pipelines and automated testing to optimising for different device configurations and ensuring compliance with privacy and security standards essential in healthcare.

Experience with Kotlin and native Android APIs will be crucial.

You’ll also play a key role in cross-platform collaboration, knowledge sharing, and mentoring as we grow the mobile team.

What you’ll do

• Architect and develop Heidi’s first Android app, taking it from concept to launch

• Define the Android mobile infrastructure and best practices for future functionality and team growth

• Collaborate with our iOS engineers to ensure cross-platform consistency and knowledge sharing

• Integrate on-device ML models to enable real-time AI features

• Work closely with design and product teams to deliver pixel-perfect, intuitive UIs

• Ensure compliance with healthcare privacy and security standards (HIPAA, GDPR, etc.)

• Continuously optimise app performance, reliability, and security

What we’ll look for

• 5+ years of professional Android development experience, fluent in Kotlin and Android ecosystem SDKs

• Deep knowledge of native Android APIs, Compose and other Jetpack libraries, and modern architectural patterns (MVVM, Clean Architecture)

• Experience running ML models on-device (TensorFlow Lite or similar) is a strong plus

• Familiarity with RESTful API integrations, offline storage, and performance tuning

• Experience submitting and maintaining apps on Google Play

• Some exposure to iOS (Swift UI) and willingness to collaborate closely with our iOS team

• Strong problem-solving skills, ownership, and a detail-oriented mindset

• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, flat-structured, and high-agency environment

The way we work

1. Build to Last

We design for safety and reliability so clinicians, patients, and our teams can trust what we build every day.

2. Own Your Practice

Ideas rise on merit, not title, and everyone shares responsibility for the standards we set together.

3. Move Fast, Stay Steady

We move quickly but never at the cost of trust. Progress only matters if people can depend on what we make.

4. Make Others Better

Honest feedback, steady support, and shared growth keep our teams improving together.

Why you will flourish with us

• Flexible hybrid working environment, with 3 days in the office.

• A generous personal development budget of $500 per annum

• Learn from some of the best engineers and creatives, joining a diverse team

• Become an owner, with shares (equity) in the company, if Heidi wins, we all win

• The rare chance to create a global impact as you immerse yourself in one of Australia’s leading healthtech startups

• If you have an impact quickly, the opportunity to fast track your startup career!

Heidi is dedicated to creating an equitable, inclusive, and supportive work environment that brings people together from diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. Our strength is in our differences. We're proud to be an equal opportunity employer and welcome all applicants as we're committed to promoting a culture of opportunity for all.
