Android Software Engineer, Philo

• 5+ years of software development experience
• Experience with Kotlin, Coroutines, and their surrounding ecosystem
• Experience developing an Android app with video streaming features
• Experience with Jetpack Compose
• Experience with MVVM, MVI, and/or Clean Architecture
• Experience with adaptive layouts for a variety of form-factors
• Experience with Compose testing and JUnit

Desirable

• The Android team at Philo is responsible for building our product experience on all Android-based mobile platforms (Google/Galaxy/Amazon stores)
• We’re a small collaborative team building apps with high engagement and millions of installs, which collectively are responsible for a large fraction of the billions of minutes watched on Philo each year
• We are passionate about crafting the best possible UX to connect our users with the content they love, providing a seamless viewing experience while surprising them with new features and capabilities
• We are seeking an enthusiastic, experienced Android engineer with a deep technical background building high-quality, high-engagement Android applications for TV and mobile
• You will help model best-practices to the team, and unblock your teammates when they are stuck
• Drive continuous improvements to the reliability, performance, and UI of the Android applications. In practice this means managing our tech debt backlog, and advocating for improvements as needed
• Provide input on system architecture and design tradeoffs
• Help the team manage and plan for the application releases. We have a rotating release shepherd, who is a member of the Android team and is responsible for the nuts and bolts coordination of each release (every week). In this role you would help guide the shepherd and make hard decisions about feature inclusion
• Monitor app performance and triage crashes, bugs and performance regressions as they arise
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders across marketing, support, design, product, and data science teams to ensure smooth feature delivery
• The Android codebase uses MVI paradigms, and we are slowly adding Compose to our larger components. Of particular note, our business logic is largely encapsulated by a shared Kotlin Multiplatform Codebase, so for newer features, the business logic lives outside of the Android code
