Role
Who you are
- 6+ years of experience in shipping software with 3+ years of experience building Android applications or services
- Deep experience building Android services or middleware-like components
- Proficiency in Java & Kotlin, as well as a comfort in diving into other languages & technology
- Experience building and debugging complex systems in a collaborative setting
- A self-starter mentality & ability to drive projects to completion
- A passion to ship high-quality software
- A willingness to continually improve, an ability to “work in the grey” and adapt, a high attention to detail, and a high level of self-awareness
What the job involves
- 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 us 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
- 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
- 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!
Our take
Providing a unified mobile experience to users can be difficult and expensive for many companies. Branch solves this problem with its linking and attribution platform, allowing companies to gain, track and keep mobile app users.
When it first launched, Branch focused solely on delivering a comprehensive multi-platform linking solution that takes consumers to their relevant destination. Since then, its solution has expanded, and now offers increased user engagement and holistic marketing measurements. This has allowed the company to scale its user base, and to grow its existing relationships. Branch now serves over 100,000 apps and boasts more than three billion monthly users. Its impressive client list includes Airbnb, NBC and Adobe.
Branch raised a further $300 million in funding in early 2022, pushing its valuation to $4 billion. The company intends to use that money to invest further in its mobile linking program and other products. This will ensure that Branch remains a key player in the mobile marketing space, despite alleged attempts by Google to block its software on Android smartphones, due to apparent conflicts with Branch's mobile experience tools. Branch's friction with Google however, only goes to show how it is disrupting the monopoly Google has over mobile experiences.
