Senior App Engineer (Kotlin Multiplatform)

Tebi’s mission is to help restaurants evolve their business. The restaurant industry is suffering from oversubscription. A small business owner often requires 10+ subscriptions to run their business. Tebi is evolving the space and bringing all the required tools to run your business into one elegant solution, Tebi OS. By simplifying this, new levels of productivity and earning potential are unlocked—and restaurants can focus on what they do best: serve their customers.

About the role:

We’re looking for a seasoned App Engineer to help shape the core experience for thousands of restaurant teams. This is a senior role focused on building performant, polished applications across mobile platforms using Kotlin Multiplatform.

You’ll lead development of cross-platform features, collaborate closely with design and product, and contribute to shared backend components when needed. You should bring a strong product mindset, care deeply about developer experience, and be excited about leveraging KMP to build better software, faster.

This role is ideal for someone who has deep Kotlin expertise (mobile and backend), experience shipping real-world apps, and is looking to make high-impact technical decisions in a fast-moving team.

Responsibilities:

• Work on the development of our Kotlin Multiplatform app architecture across Android and iOS
• Design and implement shared business logic and client code in Kotlin, as well as platform-specific UI components where needed
• Work closely with designers, PMs, and other engineers to deliver intuitive, delightful product experiences
• Contribute to backend services where necessary (also Kotlin), ensuring tight integration and performance across the stack
• Continuously improve build tooling, developer experience, and code quality
• Play a critical role in shaping how Tebi scales across new markets, languages, and user types

What you’ll need:

• 8+ years of experience in software engineering, with deep expertise in Kotlin (mobile and backend)
• Strong experience building and shipping Android apps; familiarity with iOS and multiplatform development patterns
• Hands-on experience with Kotlin Multiplatform in a production setting (for example: shared code, expect/actual, Ktor, SQLDelight, etc.)
• Comfortable owning architecture decisions and collaborating with cross-functional teams to ship features
• A strong product mindset—you care about solving real problems for users, not just writing code
• Great communication skills and a pragmatic approach to building scalable systems

Nice to have:

• Familiarity with Jetpack Compose
• Interest in performance tuning, offline-first design, and internationalization/localization

Benefits:

• Generous start-up equity
• Competitive Salary
• Lunch provided in the office

What is Restaurant Software?

Restaurants and other merchants use various software systems such as Point of Sale (POS), Reservations, Kitchen Display Systems (KDS), Payments, Inventory, Staffing, and the list goes on. These systems all need to speak to each other which they frequently don’t. It’s a mess, and we are fixing it.

From buying a croissant at a cafe to having dinner with friends, it’s a €4 Trillion+ global market and a critical part of everyday life in today's economy.
