We are looking for an Engineer to join our Android team, with experience developing exceptional and innovative Android applications.

  • Strong computer science fundamentals and problem- solving skills
  • Strong verbal and written communication & collaboration skills
  • Passionate about solutions while humble in the face of opposing ideas
  • Desire to embrace the way engineering is changing (more immutable data, functional patterns, etc.) while also being intensely pragmatic
  • Experience with large Android codebases and complex, high-performance apps is a plus
  • Experience with Jetpack compose is highly desirable

For this position we are targeting a base pay between $120,000 - $175,000.  Actual compensation offered will be determined by factors such as job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.

When We Work

We actively promote work-life balance.  Our schedules are flexible, our hybrid policy supports remote work when it makes sense, and we have a “as long as you get your work done” approach to time off.

We work in downtown SF near Market Street, just a short walk from two BART/Muni stations.  Our office has height-adjustable desks to help us stay limber, spacious conference rooms for both small and large team meetings, and a well-stocked kitchen full of goodies to enjoy :).
