Join Zepz as an Android engineer and contribute to the development of our leading global remittance apps, WorldRemit and Sendwave. You will work in cross-functional teams, collaborating with engineers of all levels to improve our Android app, build pipeline, and tooling. This role requires several years of experience building Android applications at scale, a strong understanding of modern Android development, and proficiency in Kotlin and/or Java. You will be responsible for writing readable, well-tested software, improving code structure and architecture, and collaborating with other teams.

Requirements

• Several years of experience building Android applications at scale

• Proficiency in Kotlin and/or Java

Responsibilities

• Work within cross-functional feature teams, which are part of broader engineering domains
• Have the autonomy to make platform decisions and provide insights to the rest of the team
• Collaborate closely with other Android engineers of varying experience levels and interests, helping to improve and develop our Android app, build pipeline, and tooling
• Commit, review, and ship new code from your very first week!
• Take pride in writing readable, well-designed, and well-tested software
• Improve code structure, have an impact on architecture
• Actively review tech designs and code from others
• Improve monitoring, and health of your team's systems
• Build relationships with other engineering teams and identify collaboration opportunities
• Own larger pieces of work, assist with design and technical / implementation choices and influence the roadmap within your team
• Easily communicate with non-technical team members, and can translate their feedback into code
• Have experience working in a cross-functional team
• Adjust quickly and effectively to shifting priorities and complexity
• Care about users, and want to give them an improved, simpler experience
• Are more of a “get it done” than a “perfectionist” type person — you value getting features into the hands of our users
• Aren’t afraid to throw away code you wrote - because after testing, a flow you built doesn’t work as well as a different one
