Telegram is attracting global Android developers through a high-stakes coding contest, offering a $50,000 prize pool and a potential full-time role at its Dubai office. The winner could earn $1 million annually after tax (over Rs 8 crore), as announced by founder Pavel Durov on X.

The Telegram Android Contest 2025 is the exclusive path to join the core team. Developers must implement specific features or animations in Telegram’s open-source Android app. Round 1 is already live and open to all participants worldwide, with submissions due by July 11, 2025. Results will follow later that month.

This innovative hiring approach highlights Telegram’s push to recruit elite talent amid rapid platform growth.
