What this job asks for AI summary
A mid-level Android engineering role on a fan monetization team, focused on building and shipping UI-heavy features using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose — with no legacy Java or older architecture work involved. The position involves close collaboration with product, design, and data partners across international offices, along with participation in A/B testing, analytics integration, and code review. Suits an Android developer comfortable in a distributed agile environment who is open to using AI tooling in their workflow.

Why we read it this way (6)
The posting explicitly states 'no requirement to maintain or refactor legacy Java or outdated architectures,' signaling a purely modern Kotlin/Compose stack — Java Android experience is not relevant here.
The role is described as 'mid-level' in the posting text, and the 3+ years requirement and scope (feature delivery on a team) are consistent with a Mid classification.
Location is ambiguous: SoundCloud lists US offices in New York and Los Angeles, and the role appears to offer flexible/hybrid work. New York is used as the primary CBSA given it is listed first and is the larger hub, but the role may also be based in LA.
Cross-platform curiosity (iOS, Web, Go) is explicitly framed as 'a welcome plus,' so those skills are listed as preferred.
AI development assistant usage is called out as a key expectation in both responsibilities and requirements sections, but names no specific tool — omitted from skills as no concrete technology is identified.
This posting reads as a fully-remote role, so it was scored against the national candidate pool rather than a single metro.
