## About the Role

* 5+ years mobile development experience with multiple parts of the Android stack. We develop with Kotlin. Experience with Jetpack Compose strongly preferred.
 * Ability to design and implement complex distributed systems operating under high load.
 * Experience developing customer-facing public applications is preferred.
 * Entrepreneurial spirit. On our team, everyone needs to act like a startup CEO. You must be self-directed, innovative, and biased towards action in fast-paced environments. You live to build new things and thrive in ambiguity and even failure.
 * Excellent communication skills. You must be able to collaborate effectively with teams in a fully-remote environment, and discuss complex topics with technical and non-technical audiences.
 * Experience mentoring engineers, owning team processes, and leading cross-functional projects is preferred.

## Description

On the team, you will:

 * Design, build and ship Android client features for users to monetize their contributions on Reddit.
 * Move fast while balancing quality. We can't afford extensive processes, and we also can't afford show-stopping bugs. We need people who can balance speed with quality while quickly building brand-new products.
 * Contribute meaningfully to team strategy. We give everyone a seat at the table and encourage active participation in planning for the future. Don't just come along for the ride.
 * Communicate effectively, within the team and across disciplines. Work closely with product managers and designers to craft compelling user experiences.
