Software engineer (Android)
Summary
Build and scale an Android app for a creative-tools startup, owning features from UI to backend integration while collaborating with iOS peers and optimizing performance.
We're hiring an Android engineer to scale our Android app alongside the founding Android engineer who built it from scratch and shipped it to Google Play. Since launch, it's grown to 60,000 installs, 8,500 DAU, a 4.8 rating, and localization across Brazil, Latin America, and Italy. One engineer did all of it. It's time for the next.
You'll work alongside the iOS engineers and designers to keep parity where it matters and diverge where it makes the app better. real-time co-editing, offline playback, background uploads, subscription infrastructure, the foundations are in place. now we make it deeper.
