Job Title: Android Engineer
Job location: Brooklyn, NY
Employer: Etsy
Employment Type: Full-Time Job
Job Description
You’ll be contributing to the teams that bring Etsy’s global marketplace to Android and iOS devices, with more than 9 million downloads around the world. Our apps allow buyers to discover unique and trending handmade and vintage items from across the marketplace, and provide sellers with the opportunity to run their shops, connect with buyers, and manage their workflow from their smartphones or tablets.
Android Engineer | Responsibilities:
As a senior engineer on the team you will influence not just how we build individual features and products, but also the best practices and patterns we will use for development and automated testing. As we scale mobile app development across more of Etsy’s Engineering team, you’ll help refine our processes and tools to support additional contributors in the codebase.
- Drive feature development for our well-renowned apps for Android smartphones and tablets, leading small teams of engineers on specific projects and taking ownership of end-to-end product quality.
- Lead prototypes of new ideas and explore new technologies on the forefront of mobile technology and commerce.
- Contribute to the growth of mobile development across Etsy by working closely with other Product Development teams to improve consistency and and timing of releases across Mobile and Web.
- Etsy is well-known for our data-informed product design and use of Continuous Deployment for the Web. You’ll hone these practices for Android by building out our A/B experimentation framework and implementing practices that support rapid release cycles.
- This role isn’t just about writing Android apps. You’ll also cross paths with PHP, Ruby, Python, Java and Scala in various areas of our technical stacks—e.g. Data Analysis, Search, Developer Tools, Security and Operations.
Android Engineer | Requirements:
You have been working in mobile app development in a professional context for at least two years and have a deep familiarity of Java and the Android SDK. You keep current with best practices and design patterns for Android and are happy to get nerdy about memory management, UI layout and rendering, or network performance. You’ve shipped successful apps to Google’s Play Store that you are proud of and that demonstrate your commitment to quality and detail.
End-to-end product development means you understand not just the UI and client development, but also the data model and the API stack. Your years of software engineering outside of native app development prepare you for going deep into Etsy’s stack and working across various teams using a handful of different languages and technologies.
We are building mobile apps that are already used by millions of people on their phones and tablets. You are someone who will approach this with a passion for the end-to-end user experience and empathy for our users, even when that means taking some time away from new product development to focus on polishing UI bugs and troubleshooting crash reports.
Company Description:
We’re growing rapidly and are well-funded with a proven business model and established revenue to help us continue growing and serving our community. If you’re interested in joining the team at Etsy, please send a cover letter along with your resume, telling us what inspires you about Etsy and why you think you are perfect for the team (applications without a cover letter will not be considered). If you write a blog, or practice another craft besides leading the development of beautiful, functional websites and apps, that means something to us, and we would love to hear about it!
