Shiftgig, one of Chicago’s hottest and fastest growing technology companies, is actively seeking an Android Engineer in our Chicago office.  We are a tech company in a non-tech space and as such, we have a lot of interesting problems to solve. Our architecture is centered around internal and external APIs with consuming clients being our single page applications and native mobile apps.

Responsibilities:
  • You enjoy creating solid, clean code so you won’t hate yourself the next time you have to visit it.
  • You have a love of software development and making neat things to help people in their daily lives. The social aspect of our business is very important to our team.
  • You know how to balance pragmatic, iterative development with the long term vision of a scalable and usable product.
  • You’re able to work as part of a small team, but be self-motivated and comfortable solving problems independently.
  • You’re excited about researching and implementing technologies you’ve never implemented before.
  • You have an appreciation for good design and good user experience. You don't have to be a designer yourself, but you should be able to work with designers and have a solid idea of what makes a friendly and delightful native app.
  • You’re able to quickly analyse bugs and usability issues in live apps, and provide solutions for those problems with a quick turnaround.
Qualifications:
  • At least 2 years of Android development
  • Experience consuming REST interfaces and building asynchronous networking clients.
  • Experience with unit testing. Familiarity with Mockito a plus.
  • Experience with user testing and direct QA, or a desire and willingness to interact directly with users to solve issues.
Nice-to-have skills:
  • Experience with geofencing and Google maps
  • Experience with RxJava & RxAndroid (https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxJava)
  • Experience with Kotlin (https://kotlinlang.org/) (We use it, but don’t worry if you never have -- you’ll have a chance to learn!)
  • Any experience with non-mobile technologies - Python, Javascript, HTML, whatever!
  • Experience with Agile methodology
