About this Job
We're looking for versatile and product-minded engineers skilled at building delightful experiences on Android with Kotlin & Jetpack Compose. Our ideal candidate for this role will be energized by having deep ownership across our entire Android product as one of only two Android engineers on the team.
Interactive education is in its infancy: we've only scratched the surface of what's possible with computer-based pedagogy. Our work helps people teach topics from vector calculus to neural networks in an interactive way. Come build the future of interactive learning with us!

- Experience working on consumer-facing apps with high ratings (4+ stars) with lots of review
- Experience with Kotlin & Jetpack Compose
- Build features from conception to completion
- Understand technical and business perspectives
- Exercise technical autonomy

Responsibilities
- Bring new features from conception to completion, helping people around the world to learn more effectively by contributing code on Android and iOS — and maybe even web!
- Be mindful of the “big picture” from both a technical perspective and a business one, keeping the team on track in terms of “building the right thing” and “building the thing right”.
- Exercise a high degree of autonomy and technical authority on a team that trusts you to do what's right for our users but is there to support you when you need it.
- Contribute to a culture of excellence, setting high standards for candor and mutual accountability, and striking a careful balance between velocity and quality.
- Advocate for initiatives that will improve developer experience for engineers and user experience for learners.
- Frequently ask: How does this impact our learners?
Who Are You?
- You have at least 5 years of professional experience in software engineering.
- You got into programming because you’re motivated by solving users’ problems.
- You enjoy solving technical challenges in a way simple enough for an intern to understand and build upon. You avoid introducing complex, novel, or "clever" solutions. You write code for humans, not for computers.
- You're excited to collaborate closely with talented engineers, product managers, and designers. You enjoy solving problems as a team, pair-programming, and sharing knowledge. You want to be a mentor and to be mentored.

You believe in using the right tool for the job — even when it’s an unfamiliar one, and especially when it's a boring one. You stay up-to-date with the latest technologies and patterns, recognizing the differences between a game-changer and a passing fad.
- You have a favorite product and can articulate your perspective on what makes using it delightful. You often think about how the products you use could be better.
- You're constantly tinkering with AI tools and workflows, eagerly exploring how to achieve new levels of productivity.
