Android Engineer at Yandex building smart display software for Alice, including a night mode rebuild that reduced device bugs by approximately 13%.
Russian FederationWhat I'm looking for
At Yandex, I develop Android software for smart displays powered by Alice, including user-facing applications, system UI, and third-party app integrations. I work across the feature lifecycle, from technical design and implementation through release and production support.
I rebuilt the device’s night mode from the ground up, resolving recurring stability issues and reducing the overall device bug count by approximately 13%. I also developed and improved the built-in timers and alarms application, including its voice interactions, UI behavior, unit tests, and product metrics.
I implemented voice-driven navigation across system screens and third-party applications. I also coordinated Android releases, monitored A/B experiments, and investigated production incidents with QA and analytics.
Earlier, as an Android Engineer Intern at Yandex, I contributed to software for smart TVs powered by Alice, fixed production bugs, and maintained unit tests. I’ve also mentored an Android engineering intern, and I hold a bachelor's degree in Software Engineering from Higher School of Economics.
