Sr. Software Engineer, Android

We are looking for inquisitive, well-rounded Android engineers to join our platform Engineering teams. Working closely with product managers, designers, and backend engineers, you’ll play an important role in enabling the newest technologies and experiences. You will build robust frameworks & features. You will empower both developers and Pinners alike. You’ll have the opportunity to find creative solutions to thought-provoking problems. Even better, because we covet the kind of courageous thinking that’s required in order for big bets and smart risks to pay off, you’ll be invited to create and drive new initiatives, seeing them from inception through to technical design, implementation, and release.

What you’ll do:

• Support millions of users and enable colleagues by ensuring excellence in core pieces that are shared throughout the application
• Identify app-wide challenges; propose, test, and ship solutions
• Drive changes that improve the entire app such as modularization, implementing image/video loading, RTL text, dependency injection, and reusable UI components
• Enable developers to work more effectively by improving app architecture, testing capabilities and release cycles
• Solve hard-to-see user pain points that often affect the entire app such as performance, monitoring crash rates and solving user metric anomalies
• Grow as a developer by working with world-class peers on varied and high impact projects
  
  

What we’re looking for:

• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field such as Computer Science, or equivalent experience.
• Deep understanding of Android development and best practices in Kotlin and/or Java, e.g. Activity Lifecycle, memory management, etc.
• 4+ years of industry Android application development experience, building consumer or business facing products
• Experience in following best practices in writing reliable and maintainable code that may be used by many other engineers
• Ability to keep up-to-date with new technologies to understand what should be incorporated
• Strong collaboration and communication skills
  
  

In-Office Requirement Statement:

• We let the type of work you do guide the collaboration style. That means we're not always working in an office, but we continue to gather for key moments of collaboration and connection.
• This role will need to be in the office for in-person collaboration 1-2 times/quarter and therefore can be situated anywhere within a commutable distance to the Toronto office (85 Richmond St. W).
  
  

Relocation Statement:

• This position is not eligible for relocation assistance and candidates that apply should be based and legally authorized to work in Canada. Visit our PinFlex page to learn more about our working model.
