Position

Bending Spoons is looking for a Senior Android Engineer. With tens of millions of active users and hundreds of thousands of daily downloads, we’re Europe’s leading iOS app developer. Now we’re setting our sights on taking the Play Store by storm. With a new frontier to conquer, we’re looking for a passionate, talented, and experienced native Android Developer eager to join the Android team to help migrate our app portfolio.

Responsibilities:

• Migrate our portfolio of world-renowned iOS apps to the most recent Android version, making them available to a whole new user base
• Contribute to the product development of the apps you’ll work on
• Help define the software architecture of entire apps or new features—and then develop them. The work spans a broad range, from engineering and coding features, to polishing world-class user interfaces
• Constantly improve the quality of our products by fixing bugs and refactoring the code base where necessary, as well as adding that WOW factor to put a smile on our users’ faces
• Stay up to speed with new technologies, and test the promising ones to make sure we don’t miss out on game-changing opportunities

Your qualification

• Passion for the topic. You have a long-standing passion for writing software. It’s a big plus if you have a demonstrated interest in developing native Android apps
• Reasoning and depth of learning. You’re structured and creative enough to solve most challenging problems independently, given the necessary knowledge. You learn new concepts and skills rapidly, and love to nerd out and go in-depth
• Drive. You’re energetic, hard-working, and persevere through adversity until the job is done—and done well
• Curiosity and initiative. You love exploring and you’re entrepreneurial in seeking out new opportunities and testing ideas of your own accord. You seek—you don’t just wait to be told what to do 
• A knack for UX and attention to detail. You care about developing quality user experiences, and notice the details that make a difference. You get a kick out of making a UI or an animation just perfect 
• Humility. You’re eager to listen to feedback and constructive criticism, and ready to get your hands dirty with whatever the team needs to succeed
• You read and write proficiently, and speak at a conversational level in English
