    Senior Software Engineer - Android/Java

    We're looking for developers who want to build foundational data systems that drive change.

We build software that solves real problems and you will too.

    Qualities we're looking for

    • Thoughtful coder.
      • You understand the importance of abstractions and interfaces. You keep modules loosely coupled and know that algorithms + data structures = programs.
      • You read and understand existing systems before diving in. You know how to prototype, how to iterate, and when to step back and think it through or ask questions.
    • Builder.
      • You are committed to the projects you work on and need to see them through to completion. You understand that solving the user's problem is the end goal.
    • Lifelong learner.
      • You stay up to date with the latest trends and are excited to learn new languages, tools, and best practices.
    • Explorer.
      • You thrive in teams and projects that span timezones and cultures.
      • You're ready and excited to travel in order to support projects, no matter how dusty or remote.

    Requirements

    • Minimum 3 years programming production web applications in Java
    • Minimum 3 years programming production Android applications
    • Experience programming with APIs and service based architectures 
    • Experience with databases and their integration into web and Android applications
    • Strong attention to detail and understanding of architectural dependencies.
    • Strong troubleshooting and problem solving skills.

    Nice to haves

    • Experience working with remote teams
