Our app follows Material Design principles, and we work hard to include the latest Android features while also supporting older devices. As a company, we believe in writing code that is reliable and maintainable, and in testing that code to make sure we can depend on it for years to come.

Deploy updates to Google Play at least once a month
Implement new features for Android O and beyond

Write tests for new updates to ensure that they're reliable
THINGS YOU?LL LEARN:
How to make product design decisions through feedback and user testing
How to add new, cutting-edge Android features to an app
How to release major app updates while minimizing bugs and maintaining backwards compatibility
How to debug an issue across thousands of different Android devices
How a small, transparent start-up operates
SKILLS AND REQUIREMENTS:
You?ve worked on an Android app before.
You write clean, understandable code that can be tested and maintained in the future.
You're familiar with Java, Android Studio, and the general Android ecosystem.
You like to make sure you fully understand a problem before you sit down and start writing actual code.
You enjoy working in a team, and treat others with empathy and respect.
When something goes wrong, you love to figure out what broke.
You're willing to come join us at our office in Providence, RI. (If you're not from around here, we can help you move!)
Valued but not required: previous work on a large-scale consumer mobile app, experience with client/server syncing on mobile
