I am an Android programmer and I know a number of Android programmers (including myself) at different levels who may be interested in opportunities. This is more for the others than myself but I'll start with myself - they're my friends so I'm not looking for a finder's fee or anything for them.

I myself work on a large company's Android app which has heavy usage and yearly revenues in the hundreds of millions. Have programmed Android for some years. I have some past experience in a lot of IT/tech type things. To make things easy for you, I am not looking to leave for less than $200k (somewhat liquid) total compensation, although if it is an ML/AI-focused company I might be willing to take tens of thousands less. I am willing to relocate, and am willing to work in-person, hybrid or remote. As I'm not actively looking, my interview skills for system design are probably abysmal in an interview sense, and Leetcode is probably middling (I just started practicing Leetcode).

I just worked with an Android programmer who has 30 years experience as a programmer, and over 6 years experience as an Android programmer. He knows Android on a technical level better than I do. If you are looking for a programmer to quickly shovel out features in a crummy way, he is not the person for you. If you need someone to thoroughly architect for features and the entire app, consider all obvious (and non-obvious) edge and corner cases, make suggestions, including for better interaction with the backend, he is someone you want to talk to. He is very averse to companies that want to do a Leetcode interview and he probably does not have that two pointer, sliding window, binary search, BFS/DFS stuff top of mind as some people do. For what he does he is pretty good. He would want to work remote, but I am sure would be willing to fly in a few times a year.

I used to work with a junior/associate level programmer at my big company, he went back to school to learn CS and is graduating soon. He knows Android at a junior/associate level, and has been studying other things in his CS classes. If you need an intern, or a junior/associate level programmer for Android (or other things), he is good. He is not senior though.

As I'm an Android programmer, I tend to know a number of Android programmers, although we three are somewhat available, but I know many others as well. So if you need an Android programmer let me know (if it is for one doing a lot of React Native, I know some who do that but less).
