ABOUT onX
We’re a team of builders, adventurers, and risk takers using technology to help people confidently explore the outdoors. Driven by our mission to awaken the adventurer inside everyone, we build products that optimize every outdoor experience and inspire confidence to get out and go further.
We’re a high-growth tech company. The pace is fast, the work takes grit, and ambiguity is part of the job. As the world changes around us, we adapt - continuously evolving how we build, prioritize, and deliver.
Our business moves quickly, and there’s real opportunity to shape what we build next. Each of our verticals - Hunt, Offroad, Backcountry, and Fish - is at a different stage of maturity, which means the challenges you encounter and the impact you have will vary depending on where you sit and what the business needs most.
We operate with an experimentation mindset, continually iterating and improving how we solve problems. We expect our people to use the latest tooling, including AI, thoughtfully and responsibly, pairing human judgment with technology to increase quality, speed, and impact.
Our impact comes to life through the products we build, in the stories of our customers, and in our growing commitment to land stewardship and recreational access.
ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY
onX is seeking a Senior Android Engineer who will contribute to meaningful, real-world outcomes that have a lasting impact for customers and the business. In this role, as part of the Identity & Access Management (IAM) team, you’ll focus on owning the Android client libraries that power authentication, sessions and feature access across every onX app , and the pipeline for sign-ups and entitlements. You’ll be supporting secure, reliable access to onX Hunt, Offroad, Fish and Backcountry for millions of hunters, anglers and outdoor enthusiasts, including when they’re far from a cell signal. You’ll take ownership of your work, collaborate closely with partners across the organization, and help move initiatives forward in an environment where priorities evolve, learning is celebrated, and you’re encouraged to keep stretching your skills. This role will report to a Software Engineering Manager III.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Essential Job Duties & Functions
Own the platform. You’ll own onX’s Android identity, subscription, and feature-access libraries: shared Kotlin modules consumed by every onX Android app. You’ll set their technical direction, decide which patterns to keep and which to replace, and see changes through to production. You’ll co-own the API contracts with backend and push for changes when needed.
Make auth dependable in the field. You’ll harden token refresh and session lifecycle, apply coroutines and structured concurrency correctly, and handle network loss and process death gracefully so users stay signed in when they need the app most.
See what’s happening. You’ll build client-side observability for identity flows so the team can see auth health by device, OS version and app, then use that data to find and fix problems before customers report them.
Champion both directions. You’ll represent Android in IAM design work (account management, session management, passkeys, one-time passwords, entitlements and bundling) and represent IAM in the Android codebase, partnering with backend engineers, Android platform leads and product teams across our apps. You’ll push for new capabilities when the current ones aren’t enough.
Work with your iOS counterpart. You’ll be partnered on the team with an iOS counterpart to keep identity and entitlement behavior consistent: shared specs, shared test cases, and joint design docs.
Raise the bar. You’ll grow the team’s client expertise through code review, documentation and mentoring, including backend engineers who contribute to client code. You’ll identify the next problems worth solving, write the design doc, align stakeholders, and drive it through rollout across apps.
Adopt new technologies. You’ll look for opportunities…
