Strong knowledge of Kotlin and Jetpack Compose. Adept at reactive programming with Kotlin Coroutines and Flows.

On our product teams, you'll build mobile experiences that sit close to our buyers and sellers, shaping how people discover Whatnot, buy and sell, and engage with our marketplace. You'll partner closely with product, design, and backend engineering to solve customer problems and build intuitive, high-quality experiences at scale. We're also hiring on our App Platform team, where you'll build the mobile infrastructure that powers every Android experience across the app. From developer tooling and app architecture to performance, reliability, and platform foundations, you'll create systems that enable product teams to ship faster while delivering a best-in-class experience to millions of users. Rather than applying to a specific team, you'll go through a general interview process focused on your technical skills and experience. Throughout the process, we'll learn more about your interests and match you with the team where you'll have the greatest impact. Across teams, you'll: * Develop high-quality Android features and systems using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose. * Collaborate cross-functionally with product, design, backend, and mobile engineers to define goals, scope, and technical trade-offs. * Help evolve shared mobile infrastructure, architecture, and best practices across Whatnot's engineering organization. * Build with performance, reliability, scalability, and user experience in mind. * Uphold engineering excellence through code reviews, documentation, and thoughtful technical discussions that raise the bar across the team. We offer flexibility to work from home or from one of our global office hubs, and we value in-person time for planning, problem-solving, and connection. Team members in this role must live within commuting distance of our New York, San Francisco or Seattle hub. You People who do well at Whatnot tend to be comfortable figuring things out as they go, biased toward action, and genuinely curious about what they're building. They care more about outcomes than credit and stay close to the product and the people using it. ## Related Videos - [Kotlin Multiplatform - True power of native code reuse](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/4-kotlin-multiplatform-true-power-of-native-code-reuse) - [Android beyond mobile: Cars, TVs, and Wearables](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/553-android-beyond-mobile-cars-tvs-and-wearables) - [How Cisco embraced a DevOps culture within its network engineering team](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/99-how-cisco-embraced-a-devops-culture-within-its-network-engineering-team) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Pair Programming with Generative Agents: Refactoring Legacy Android at Speed](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100224-pair-programming-with-generative-agents-refactoring-legacy-android-at-speed) - [Why Kotlin is the better Java and how you can start using it](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/661-why-kotlin-is-the-better-java-and-how-you-can-start-using-it) ## Related Articles - [A Guide to Choosing the Right Tools for App Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/391-a-guide-to-choosing-the-right-tools-for-app-developers) - [Cross Platform Mobile Development Frameworks to Use in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/404-cross-platform-mobile-development-frameworks-to-use-in-2025) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [The 8 Best Code Testing Tools](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/402-the-8-best-code-testing-tools) - [Find a Developer Job: 12 Best Job Sites For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/165-find-a-developer-job-12-best-job-sites-for-developers)
