Company mission
To help the world find peace and purpose through prayer and meditation, and to help us all build deeper and more meaningful relationships with God.
Role
Who you are
- Passion: First and foremost, we’re looking for someone excited and passionate about our mission. It makes it a lot more fun to actually care about what you’re working on!
- Experience: A foundation of 5+ years of experience in Kotlin and Android development in general; experience working on other apps that use ExoPlayer or media streaming; an attention for detail with regards to design and crafting user interfaces; knowledge of application architecture and design
- Grit & Detail-Oriented: We really care about what we’re doing & try to build as fast as we can. Since we’re guided meditation and competing with some large players in the market (Calm, Headspace), we have to stand out. Everything we do, say, send, or spend money on should be top-notch quality and set Hallow apart as the best
What the job involves
- Build the Hallow App: Build a best-in-class native Kotlin mobile app to help our users pray and meditate around the world
- Craft the Product: Work closely within a product pod alongside other developers and designers in an agile environment to implement designs, interfaces, and animations into our app
- Collaborate: Participate in design and code reviews, working closely with other devs
- Optimize: Architect frameworks for allowing A/B testing of content, fine-tune media streaming to enable our content to be accessible worldwide
Our take
Bringing the mechanics of wellness and meditation apps into the religious market, Hallow is a Roman Catholic prayer app that offers guided prayers, prayer routine management, and social media tools for followers of the Roman Catholic faith.
Though its market is limited to Roman Catholics specifically, Hallow has set itself up as a public benefit corporation, a savvy move that will help it keep afloat whilst growing its audience. With both startup and faith-based advisors helping its founders navigate a complex market position, Hallow has seen staggering funding awarded since its 2018 launch, helping it to expand its services and features.
Hallow’s celebrity-guided prayers have included a number of controversial figures, but this hasn’t stopped the company from appearing in the top 10 most downloaded apps on the App Store. Moving forward, it continues to navigate combing its Catholic niche with its growing place in mainstream culture.
