We're transforming the grocery industry

At Instacart, we invite the world to share love through food because we believe everyone should have access to the food they love and more time to enjoy it together.

We work to deliver an essential service that customers rely on to get their groceries and household goods, while also offering safe and flexible earnings opportunities to Instacart Personal Shoppers.

Instacart has become a lifeline for millions of people, and we’re building the team to help push our shopping cart forward. If you’re ready to do the best work of your life, come join our table.

Overview

The Digital Twin Platform team at Instacart is on a mission to understand exactly what is on store shelves at any given moment. Inventory intelligence is foundational to some of Instacart's most critical products — from search and logistics to enterprise AI solutions for grocers of all sizes. Our team owns the end-to-end data supply chain, spanning ingestion and integration of partner data sources, collection of in-store inventory observations, model development, serving, and product integrations across the Instacart ecosystem.

We're a growing team sitting at the intersection of physical retail and cutting-edge technology, working closely with Caper, Inventory Intelligence, and Fulfillment to bring real-time shelf intelligence to life.

We're looking for a Senior Android Engineer to help us build the next generation of Android-native applications that power our store view and Connected Stores programs. This is a net new role on a team that is scaling fast — you'll have real ownership, work on complex and novel technical problems, and see your work directly shape how grocers and shoppers experience Instacart technology in the physical world.

About the Job

• Design, build, and own Android applications for the Digital Twin Platform, including standalone scanning apps and Android-native experiences supporting Connected Stores initiatives such as Food Storm and Caper Cart integrations.

• Serve as a technical leader for Android development on the team, setting architectural direction, establishing best practices, and raising the bar for code quality and engineering craft across a growing platform.

• Collaborate closely with cross-functional partners across the Caper, Inventory Intelligence, and Fulfillment teams to deliver Android solutions that support real-time shelf intelligence and in-store data collection at scale.

• Operate in a fast-moving, highly ambiguous environment where the roadmap evolves as the store view program grows — you'll need to balance long-term architectural thinking with the ability to ship and iterate quickly.

• Contribute to a team that is building something genuinely new — as the Android needs across our organization expand, you'll help define what Android engineering looks like for the Digital Twin Platform and beyond.

• 5+ years of professional Android development experience using Kotlin and/or Java, with a track record of shipping production-quality Android applications.

• Deep expertise in Android SDK, Jetpack libraries, and modern Android architecture patterns (MVVM, Clean Architecture, etc.).

• Experience designing and building Android applications from the ground up, including owning architecture decisions end to end.

• Demonstrated ability to work effectively in ambiguous, fast-paced environments where requirements evolve and priorities shift.

• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with experience working across cross-functional engineering teams.

• Experience building Android applications for non-consumer contexts such as enterprise tools, hardware integrations, kiosk applications, or scanning/barcode workflows.

• Familiarity with Connected Stores technology, retail hardware platforms, or embedded Android environments (e.g., Caper Carts or similar smart cart/device ecosystems).

• Experience with Bluetooth, NFC, camera APIs, or other hardware peripheral integrations on Android devices.

• Background in data-intensive applications, real-time data pipelines, or inventory/logistics systems.

• Comfort contributing to adjacent technical domains (backend services, data engineering) and a desire to grow beyond a purely Android-focused scope over time.
