Android Developer Intern (Kotlin / React Native Scratch Build)

About WellmindAI

Text-based mental health chatbots suffer from severe retention drop-offs, while human therapy ($150/hr) is unscalable for billions.

WellmindAI is building autonomous Digital Human AI counselors (Yaro & Ava) delivering real-time, low-latency voice and video support starting at $1.20/week (99/week) with 100% software margins. Our live base prototype has achieved a 17m+ average session length across 2,000+ organic users with zero ad spend.

Role Overview

We are looking for an ambitious, hands-on Android Developer Intern to step in and build our core Android application from scratch. You will take our early prototype concept and rebuild it into a production-ready, high-performance native/cross-platform Android app integrated with low-latency streaming AI pipelines.

Key Responsibilities

Design, build, and optimize the native Android mobile app architecture from scratch (Kotlin / Android SDK or React Native).

Integrate real-time low-latency voice and video streaming protocols (WebSockets, WebRTC) for our AI avatar counselors.

Ensure ultra-smooth UI animations, responsive layouts, audio-video synchronization, and battery/memory efficiency.

Collaborate directly alongside the Founder & CEO to ship features, fix critical bugs, and iterate rapidly based on real user feedback.

Requirements

Hands-on experience building Android applications using Kotlin / Java OR React Native (Android focus).

Solid understanding of Android SDK, UI layout design, REST APIs, WebSockets, and Git workflows.

Familiarity with media streaming, WebRTC, or audio/video processing in mobile apps is a huge plus.

High ownership mindsetability to build fast, take initiative, and solve complex mobile engineering blockers.

Performance-to-Full-Time Conversion

This is a high-ownership, pre-seed founding internship. Based on your execution velocity, code quality, and effort during the internship, exceptional performers will be offered a Full-Time Founding Android Engineer position with a competitive salary and increased equity upon our upcoming funding round. .
