Opportunity

This is a unique opportunity to work on an agile, high-functioning team, enhancing and refining everything from feature development to testing. We prioritize clear communication. Ideas conceived in one-off discussions will make their way into code quickly!
The Hatch Android App
The Android team (and app) is 100% Kotlin, with an eye toward how Kotlin Multiplatform will make our lives easier moving forward! We're on a standard "Square" stack of Retrofit/Moshi/Dagger2/SQLDelight, with an MVVM+coroutines arch to keep things testable and agile. We use Github Actions for CI and have one-click deploys to our internal testers and the Play Store.
We don't use Jetpack Compose yet; maybe you'll be the one to add it!
The ideal candidate will have:
- Minimum four (4) years of experience building and maintaining Android apps using Java/Kotlin + Android Studio – ideally in a fast-paced, collaborative environment
- A good grasp of programming fundamentals – but we don't care if you can reverse a binary tree
- The ability to work and thrive in a small group – strong communication, collaboration, and empathy.
- principals only – no recruiting/staffing agencies/C2C, please!
You'll succeed in this role if you:
- (We’d love to have you apply, even if you feel unsure about whether you meet every single requirement in this posting.)
- Have experience with some subset of: JUnit, Dagger, Moshi, SQLDelight, Coroutines, Jetpack Navigation, ArchComponents, or Kotlin Multiplatform.
- Have experience creating readable, well-crafted, and maintainable code
- Are looking forward to shipping reliable real-time accounting and money movement features moving millions of dollars.
- Are excited to collaborate with backend engineers and designers to bring a feature or product live to tens of thousands of businesses.
- Resourcefulness and comfort with ambiguity: we won't know the answers to everything, but we'll figure it out together!
- If nothing else, good Google-fu and StackOverflow reading ability.
What You Can Expect
In your first week, you'll onboard onto the app, architecture, and any unfamiliar tech (e.g. coroutines/Flow). In your first month, you'll have shipped a number of features and bugfixes, and maybe spent some time investigating slicker CI tooling or Gradle scripts.
In following months, you might find yourself taking on a more weighty projects, owning entire user flows, refactoring cruft, and adding better tests, analytics, or monitoring. We're a small team, and we'll encourage you to try new libraries or frameworks! You might even write some backend code, since our backend is 100% Kotlin as well.
The mobile group has good line-of-sight on priorities, and there's plenty of work to go around. You'll join a small-but-nimble team with many growth opportunities, all while building an app to help small businesses prosper!
