Know the Android Team

We are Androiders! We love to work with every Android project, starting from scratch or getting into a million-users project; running on phones, tablets, watches, TVs, cars, or even in the shower (why not?). Our team comes from different backgrounds, Java, Kotlin-first, web, cross-platform technologies, and that's the beauty of it: you can get a really wide perspective about any Android-related topic. We gather to talk and study new technologies and how/where we can apply them to our projects, always having a cup of coffee, tea, or water (stay hydrated!). There is no one-stack-to-rule-them-all, in the same year you might work with different architectures and technologies. If we could summarize our goal, it would be projects.forEach { project -> project.solution() }. At the end of the day, the Android team strives to build pixel-perfect, user-centered, performant, clean-coded apps, one line of code at a time.

Role Expectations

• Advocate for Kotlin, but not afraid to get hands-on Java.
• Able to create and maintain an architecture following the best practices and principles available for the mobile environment.
• Able to lead the technical team, organizing technical meetings, and assisting the developers whenever necessary.
• Able to effectively communicate with stakeholders, proactively engage in communication, and provide assistance to the business team.
• Know your way around the Android framework, using AndroidX, Architecture Components, and our other Jetpack friends.
• Live by object-oriented programming concepts, fitting some functional programming whenever possible.
• S.O.L.I.D. principles for you are as important as staying hydrated.
• Choose and apply the Design Patterns that best fit your task.
• Work with different architectures (MVVM, MVP, and others), knowing their benefits and downsides.
• Write code that is maintainable, performant, and well-designed to offer the best experience to our clients.
• Create and integrate network layers with RESTful APIs.
• Write tests! Unit tests, integration tests, UI tests. Regardless of which, we make a point of writing high-quality testable code.
• Prioritize attention to detail and design guidelines, questioning when it could be simpler or when platform guidelines could be better respected.
• Work as close as possible to the whole team, taking ownership, respecting and trusting your teammates, to shape and improve the way we develop our projects.
• Provide and receive feedback on code reviews, always looking for ways to improve code quality, maintainability, and readability.
• Engage in English meetings with our clients, helping them identify better approaches and solutions, and sharing technical arguments on complex conversations to negotiate and estimate deadline.
• Participate in the hiring process for your chapter by doing tech interviews, helping the company to hire more talented people like you.
• Learn and share knowledge in our study group.

On a typical day with us you will

• Manage your code with Git-based technologies, from the branches you work all the way up to CI/CD, keeping everything as organized as possible.
• Provide and receive feedback on code reviews, always looking for ways to improve code quality, maintainability, and readability.
• Be a technical reference for the team, providing assistance and insights for all team members, always caring about improving the product.
• Manage your work in small increments, always giving visibility of your progress through a project management software (Jira, for example).
• Participate in Agile ceremonies with your team and clients, whether they are next to you or on the other side of the world.
• Talk about your interests, desires, hobbies, or anything else with your Manager.
