As a core member of their Android team, you’ll directly impact the lifeline of the business by building the foundation and supporting key features of their new Android app. This is a key role and ideal for someone who’s either worked at a startup and built apps from scratch, or someone parachuting out of a big company that wants to get deeply involved in building a new and feature rich product.
They are a fully remote international startup, so this is not a typical 9-5 job, but rather a very dynamic role. Among the things you are expected attend important meetings, and take complete responsibility as a directly responsible individual. They also expect you to be curious about possibilities, and endure an ability to accept criticism about your own work. We don’t expect you to be perfect always but accept and acknowledge room for improvement whenever possible.
