How large is the team I would be leading?

The current Android team has junior and mid-level engineers. Team size may grow as we scale. We will be direct about this in the interview.

Is this mostly hands-on engineering or mostly team management?

Both. We expect the Team Lead to stay technically active (code reviews, architecture decisions, and some direct feature work) while also managing the team rhythm.

What does the hiring process look like for this level?

A screening call, a technical and leadership discussion, and in some cases a short practical review. We keep it focused and respectful.
