Android Engineer

Responsibilities 

• Develop features that help grow the Substack app and ecosystem.
• On Android, we use Kotlin and all the latest Google-approved technologies (i.e. Jetpack Compose, Room, Coroutines, etc.). On the web, work with JavaScript, especially Node/Express and React, and Postgres. It's helpful if you know these technologies already, if not, we'll be excited to help you learn. 
• Collaborate with other Android engineers at Substack to define architectural patterns and ship new features for the Android client.
• Collaborate with designers, writers, support staff, and many others. From product concept and research to implementation and deployment, we expect you to own your work and operate autonomously.
• Work directly with customers to solve their problems.
  
  

Requirements

• At least 8 years of software engineering experience.
• Experience shipping high quality Android apps.
• Independent and autonomous. We're too small to micromanage, and expect that every person at the company owns their work and can be a leader.
• Hold yourself and others to a high standard when working on production systems.
• Take pride in building elegant and delightful product experiences. Substack works best when it gets out of the way so writers can focus on writing and connecting with their readers. 
• Enjoy collaboration with a diverse group of thinkers while bringing our own unique experience and background to the team.
• Believe in Substack's mission to build a new economic engine for culture.
  
  
• Experience at a fast-growing startup or working on a high-performing growth team is not required, but is a plus.
