We're insanely customer focused and excited for you to join the team and help us lead the charge.

• Have networking experience, preferably using JSON as well as a traditional Android networking library such as Volley, Retrofit or Ion
• Shipping clean, testable code that any developer on any team could quickly get up to speed

Your typical day

Who you’ll be working with

Our engineering team is 16 strong and split up into four discrete functions: iOS, Android, core, and platform. You’ll primarily be working with one other Android engineer, the mobile PM, and UI/UX designers.

We are a tight knit group that is inclusive, fun and hard working. We love shipping clean, testable code. Our top priority is producing a product that people love using. We have a firm, non-negotiable no jerk policy. We accept you for who you are and consider everyone on an equal opportunity basis without regard to race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.
