Montreal, Any

Senior Android Developer

We're adding an Android Developer to our team. We are a small, very experienced product group, executing on a mission to use modern software practices to improve the lives of millions of people.

You have 
  • enough experience to have made many mistakes
  • a practical product-focused mindset
  • an evidenced appreciation for interactive design and architecture
  • impressive technical ease and facility 
    • experience with both native Android development and React native
    • we're using Firebase and Stream
In your first 6 months at Practice, you will
  • jointly create a plan for getting to feature parity with our iOS app, and be responsible for execution
  • launch our first Android app
  • advise us on platform specifics for Android and collaborate to adjust our designs, where necessary
  • improve our CX from an interactive design perspective
Other important details:
  • We have a very international team, and we actively seek to increase our diversity. We welcome applications from all candidates regardless of their gender, abilities, cultural or ethnic origin and background.
  • We work remotely. You can be located anywhere, but at our size most of the important meetings are happening during ET (America/New_York) working hours.
  • You will have a lot of leash. Great collaborators can largely set their own hours and get things done their own way. We want you to own part of the platform.
  • As an early employee with a team of repeat founders, you will have a front-row seat to watch how it can be done. Our team is outstanding, and over the next few years, you will have the opportunity to level yourself up multiple times.
  • Design and usability are strategically important to us. You'll be working closely with a designer. We hope you have an opinion.
  • We're intensely product-focused. We hope that what we make is beautiful, but we're not building software for the sake of beautiful software. We're building a system that will improve the lives of millions of people.
Please email your application to careers@practice.do. To float to the top of the list, please include brief answers to the following questions:

  1. What's the worst programming mistake you've made in your career?
  2. Tell us about the piece of interactive programming you've done that you're most proud of.
  3. What's your favorite app and why?
  4. What experience have you had with React native? Have you also developed native Android apps? What are the trade-offs we should be considering as we approach this first build?
