Android Team Lead

Are you an experienced software engineer who thrives leading a vibrant, innovative and collaborative team? Do you want to work for a tech company that experiments and innovates to create breakthrough customer experiences, bringing simplicity and humanity to banking?

Our team supports millions of users by building cutting edge native apps and internal SDKs.  For one of our apps we were a launch partner with FourSquare’s Pilgrim SDK, the first US bank to launch native contactless payments on Android, and we were proud to be rated as the best finance app by a US bank!

We love open source, automated testing and continuous integration.  We currently use Kotlin, Java, Dagger 2, Lifecycle Components, Rx, Espresso, Coroutines, and many more. :-)  We aim for a Clean architecture, using patterns like MVVM, MVI and Repository.

You will be joining a team that enjoys learning new things and sharing our knowledge with the wider Android community.

• More than half of our team has presented at public developer conferences:
  • Droidcon NYC: Applied TensorFlow in Android apps, Have Your Cake and Eat It Too with A/B Testing, and Advanced HTTP Mocking with WireMock.
  • Droidcon SF: A Practical Guide To master Rx Streams
• We also presented at DCKotlin, Droidcon Boston, AnDevCon DC, Android Summit, and more. :-)
• We open sourced Easy Screenshots for Android Instrumentation Tests.
• Many of our team also enjoy blogging: handstandsam, daj, manuelvicnt, ZakTaccardi, pribble88, nickcapurso.

Ideal candidates will have a strong understanding of object-oriented design, automated testing, and open source libraries.  We want a leader to encourage and inspire our amazing team.
