Invest in your career with a Madrona-funded company.

We’re taking our learnings thus far and embarking on a compelling new vision to help transform the on-device experience on Android together with our OEM partners. Our early efforts are already deployed on hundreds of millions of devices globally and we need your help to expand on this and take it to the next level! If you love the mobile space, relish a challenge, and want to dabble in advanced Android while collaborating with a world-class team building complementary services, come join us!

As a Senior Android Engineer, you’ll get to:

• Design, develop and scale on-device services powering an advanced app search and recommendations platform.
• Build and ship a high-quality library (SDK) that enables our partners to integrate with our platform and provide delightful experiences to end-users.
• Implement performance optimizations focused on achieving low latency and memory footprint.
• Architect the library for “observability” in the absence of direct access to end users.
• Ideate and develop features that our partners integrate into their device experience to help our realize our product vision.Innovate on ways to manage the evolution of the SDKs as partner and product needs change.
• Dive deep into advanced Kotlin, Android profiling, SQLite and friends.
• Play with lots of devices!

You’ll also get to:

• Own entire projects (often beginning with ambiguous requirements) via scoping, defining, and leading technical design and implementation across multi-functional teams.
• Collaborate with product managers, infrastructure, platform, and data engineers to refine requirements, architect, and implement complex systems.
• Debug hard problems - that’s a given! When things break, and they will, you will find yourself debugging those challenging bugs and will be eager and able to fix things.
• Get to learn something new regularly -- whether it’s new technology, data pipelines, the quirk of a language, or a whole new language. If this gives you joy and you're eager to dive in, you’ll be right at home!

You’ll be a good fit for the Android team if you are:

• Experienced in building Android applications or services for 3+ years and/or have shipped software for 6+ years or longer.
• Someone with deep experience building Android services or middleware-like components. If your interests are more around building pixel perfect UI, we might not be your dream job.
• Proficient in Java and preferably Kotlin, but comfortable diving into other languages or technology.
• A tenacious tinkerer.

You’ll be a good fit for Branch if you are:

• Someone that enjoys building and debugging complex systems in a collaborative setting.
• A self-starter who loves to take ownership of features and systems and pursues a result-driven development approach consistent with pragmatism.
• Open to driving multi-functional projects and possibly leading teams in this regard.
• Passionate about shipping high-quality software, and don’t shy from writing readable and testable code.
• Detail-oriented, self-aware, and have a desire to continually improve. Startup life involves some fungibility -- if you’re willing to learn, we’re willing to teach.
