Responsibilities
- Develop Android applications that will be deployed on tens of thousands of tablets and used daily. Write correct, concise and robust code.
- Coding mainly in Scala, with some Java and Javascript. We encourage a functional programming style.
- Ensure that applications work across all different Android tablets and versions.
- Help design innovative new features, and solve difficult problems using novel approaches.
Requirements
- Computer Science Degree, or equivalent knowledge.
- Operate in a fast-moving, execution-oriented environment. We don’t expect you to know everything immediately, but we expect you to be inquisitive, to learn what you need to, and to ask questions. Build off the knowledge we already have.
- Ability to self-motivate, to plan and meet deadlines without constant oversight, and the desire to write the most elegant code for the job. Our team is small, but driven. The ability to take ownership of a task and shepherd it to fruition by yourself is critical; we expect a very high degree of personal responsibility. You will have the power to dictate the final result of your work, but it will be up to you to get it there.
- Tablet or phone development experience will be very beneficial.
- Understanding of CS fundamentals, software design principles, and a strong desire to learn new things.
- Know, or be prepared to learn, functional programming concepts.
- Since we do a lot of work with the EPUB standard, any such experience will help, but basic web technology knowledge is required.
- Good communication and collaboration skills and a strong teamwork ethic.
