Senior Android Engineer
Zello is a voice-first communication platform, powered by our industry-leading push-to-talk technology, to improve collaboration and productivity for deskless workers. With over 150 million users, we’re the #1 rated push-to-talk app in the world, delivering 8 billion (yes, with a B) messages a month.
At Zello, our company values are at the heart of what we do everyday. We’re proud to serve the frontline, we’re privileged to connect people in times of crisis across the globe, and we’re honored to support first responders.
And this is where you come in.
We are seeking a motivated, knowledgeable mobile engineer to join our Android development team. You'll build and extend cutting edge mobile applications that support thousands of customers and millions of consumers every day. You'll own projects from start to finish, working closely with our product and design team, applying scalable development patterns, maintainable code practices, and sharp technical decisions that help shape the architecture of the future.
What you'll do
- Design, develop, test and deliver new features for the flagship Zello Android app
- Improve and enhance existing code using modern patterns and practices
- Review and respond to app crashes, field issues, and customer feedback
- Ramp quickly on new and existing technologies, apply them to complex problems, and create meaningful impact with your solutions
Requirements
- Practical knowledge of Kotlin and Java (+ Android SDK). C++ would be great!
- At least 3 years of software development experience for Android
- At least one completed app in Play Store -- include the links in your resume or cover letter
- Good understanding of OOP, concurrency, synchronization, memory management and all other little things which make software development complicated and highly paid job
- Clear understanding of how networks work (TCP, UDP, sockets, HTTP, TLS etc) -- you can figure out how long it takes to send a 10 kB email over 1 Gbps Google Fiber link
- Self-motivated and passionate attitude -- you wake up in the middle of the night to write down that great idea for your app you saw in your dream
- Excellent communication skills, a positive attitude, and good sense of humor
- Conscientious and attentive to detail
- Equally comfortable working collaboratively or independently
We hire for potential, passion for our mission, and a knack for solving difficult problems over checking every qualification box. We have competitive pay, equity with significant upside, and intentionally design our benefits to encourage healthy and well-balanced employees, from flexible work schedules to unlimited paid time off. We even offer a sabbatical after every five years of service so you’re able to pursue and enjoy what matters most to you. And of course, we wouldn’t be a technology company in Austin without a ping-pong table and free snacks in our break room. Join us!
