Android Developer

An Android developer is responsible for developing applications for devices powered by the Android operating system. Due to the fragmentation of this ecosystem, an Android developer must pay special attention to the application’s compatibility with multiple versions of Android and device types. They must also have a strong understanding of the patterns and practices that revolve around such a platform.

Skill required:
1) Android
2) Java
3) Kotlin
4) MVC
5) MVVM
6) Offline Access
7) Git

● 󰠁 Would work on our Flutter codebase writing cross platform code for both
Android and iOS.
● 🎨 Work closely with product and design to create amazing user experiences.
● 🐜 Watch out and fix production issues, and target on running a smooth
experience.
● 📈 With the help of the rest of the team, you maintain a great app with few bugs
and trustable analytics: KPIs, logs, crash logs, boards.
Above all, you would be the owner of the app side of things. Drive it to success. That
will be the goal.
We are tech/language agnostic when it comes to developers, so the only hard
requirement is to be smart and passionate. That being said, having the skills below will
be an advantage:
● Experience working with Flutter and/or Dart
● Experience with React/React Native (makes it easier to pick up flutter)
● Experience with Native app development (sooner or later you might get to a point
where you need to write native modules as well)
