Senior🎓
Top SchoolAli Hirani is a Staff Software Engineer based in New York with 11 years of engineering experience and a seven-year focus as a staff/tech lead across Android and backend systems. He has led cross-functional teams at companies like Spotify, Square, and Toast, shipping mobile-first features and owning backend integrations that bridge mobile, web (React), and native desktop (C++) projects.

Comfortable across the stack, he pairs strong Android fundamentals and TDD habits with pragmatic backend design and occasional front-end/desktop contributions. He’s drawn to projects where performance and UX intersect, and brings a track record of turning exploratory testing instincts into robust, measurable improvements.
