As a Senior Android Engineer on the Skillshare mobile team, you will help build our native applications which provide our users with immersive learning across multiple platforms. In this role, you will shape Skillshare’s Android app as well as the API infrastructure which powers our first-party clients.

What you'll do:

• Build user-facing and technical features in the Skillshare android application.
• Work closely with the mobile product manager and product designer to shape an exceptional android experience.
• Maintain and help prioritize technical and product initiatives within the mobile team roadmap as well as create project rollout plans.
• Collaborate with backend engineers to build a new GraphQL API and consume it in the clients.
• Manage the app release process, working with our regression testing team, monitoring stability metrics, and occasionally helping to maintain the CI pipeline.
• Participate in daily stand-ups, weekly team meetings with the mobile team, sprint planning, and retrospectives with the team (we work in agile here).
• Review code with best practices of readability, testing patterns, documentation, and performance considerations in mind.
• Mentor your teammates and help them grow and develop their skills.

Why we're excited about you:

• You have a proven history of working in production android applications released through the Google Play store.
• You’re ready to work with an existing code base (partially in Java with all new code being written in Kotlin).
• You have experience with industry-standard tools and libraries (Retrofit, RxJava, Room, etc)
• You understand industry standards in architecture, code quality, testing and technical documentation.
• You're a natural collaborator – you work seamlessly within and between teams.
• You're self sufficient and motivated by full ownership of your work. You have a mind for product and are passionate about the user, and eager to help our organization grow to meet their needs.

Preferred, not required:

• Experience using GraphQL (Experience migrating existing apps from REST to GraphQL even better!)
• Experience with multi-module applications.
• Familiarity with CircleCI, BASH scripting, and build automation

Why you’re excited about us

• Impact: The mobile team ideates and iterates quickly with everyone on the team feeling empowered with ownership of the apps.
• Our mission: To connect curious, lifelong learners everywhere — and build a more creative, generous, and prosperous world.
• Our team: We have a passionate, creative, and innovative team that is a lot of fun to work with.
