Role Overview Summary: Weber Blackstone is looking for a talented, driven, and experienced Android engineer to serve as the technical lead for the Weber Connect app, which turns our grills into connected products and makes great outdoor cooking easier and more fun. This role owns Android's technical direction: architecture, code quality, and the standards the team builds against. This is deep hardware-adjacent work. You'll partner with Firmware teams on the communication protocols between app and grill, the Server teams on how state syncs to the cloud, and with iOS and the Product teams to keep the experience consistent across platforms and products. You'll also improve what's already in customers' hands which includes a growing portfolio of connected grills, probes, and accessories that our customers rely on for weeknight dinners, backyard parties, and the celebrations they plan their year around. This is a hybrid role requiring in-office days at our Palatine, IL campus. Responsibilities: Lead the technical design and implementation of major features in the Weber Connect app: from protocol to pixels Partner with Firmware to define and version the messaging protocol between app and grill: shaping the spec, not just consuming it Give Product the honest read on what Android can deliver: sequencing, estimates, and launch readiness, against hardware still stabilizing and dates that don't move Maintain app stability through constant change: Android platform releases, permission and background-execution changes, Play policy, and a hardware fleet spanning years of firmware versions Build the telemetry and diagnostics that make connection problems debuggable when the grill is in a backyard you'll never visit Set and maintain the standards the Android team builds against - architecture, code quality, testing, bug triage, and mentor engineers across the team to build the instincts behind them Drive a predictable, low-risk release cadence: CI/CD, staged rollouts, crash monitoring, and feature flags Qualifications: Education: Bachelor's Degree or higher in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or a closely related field Work Experience: 7 or more years of experience working in-depth on Android and/or similar mobile platforms (e.g. iOS) Deep, nuanced knowledge of Kotlin, Kotlin Coroutines/Flows, Jetpack Compose Led the delivery of large features and guided teammates through complex code refactors Built and shipped Android applications that communicate with external hardware, including hands-on work with the Bluetooth LE APIs: GATT, connection state machines, reconnect, bonding, and background behavior Fought and won against Android's background execution model: foreground services, OEM battery restrictions, sessions that run for hours rather than minutes Owned a mobile build pipeline, not just used one: build signing, automated testing, and the path from merge to store release Nice to have: Delivering OTA firmware updates from a mobile app Device provisioning flows: BLE-to-Wi-Fi handoff MQTT, AWS IoT, or similar cloud-to-device messaging Kotlin Multiplatform / Compose Multiplatform Building AOSP from source Consumer IoT, appliances, wearables, or automotive - anywhere the app is one half of the product Benefits: Medical, dental, and vision coverage Life and disability insurance Employee Assistance Program (EAP) 401(k) with company match Eligible for paid time off (vacation, sick, personal, holiday) Salary Range: $150,000 - $188,000 * This salary range represents Weber Blackstone's good faith belief of what we reasonably expect to pay the top candidate Weber Blackstone brings together two iconic names in outdoor cooking, united by a shared passion for creating exceptional experiences around the grill and griddle. Formed through the combination of Weber and Blackstone in 2025, we build on the strengths, expertise, and heritage of both companies to shape the future of outdoor cooking. With a commitment to quality, innovation, and a consumer-first mindset, we empower our teams to create products and experiences that bring people together and elevate outdoor cooking around the world.
