Our Commitments:

We act like owners - We are relentlessly delivering for our users and spending money thoughtfully.
We embrace embarrassing honesty - We function best when we're open and honest with one another — especially about our challenges and doubts.
We have a bias to action - We get to first outcomes quickly, iterate and learn.
We strive to be better - We may make mistakes, but always learn from them.
We are inclusive - to better reflect and serve our users.

Your key area of focus:

To achieve our mission, we need to make sure our app is easy to use for every interaction from signup to sending to editing info to resetting your password. You’ll work closely with our Head of Product to fix highly impactful user problems and A/B test interface changes to make the experience even smoother and quicker. You’ll eventually be one of the primary code owners of our Android app, and the go-to people for when someone else on the team has a hairy Android problem they need help with, but it won’t be all Android work though— you will need to work across client and server to solve problems end-to-end.

In your first few months, you'll

Streamline in-app signup and verification flows
Set up A/B tests to measure the impact of your work
Help us build a top-tier referral program to help users share their love of Zepz with their friends
Advise other engineers on Android development questions and challenges

What you bring to the table:

4+ years of professional experience as a full-stack or mobile engineer (but at least 3+ years exclusively in mobile)
Significant experience working with Android — you don’t need to know every detail of the Android environment off the top of your head, but you should have a strong enough foundation to figure out those details when needed
Work authorization in the country in which you intend to be based.

Bonus points if you

Have worked on a growth team before
Possess hands-on experience with Python or iOS
Care about users and want to make their experience easier and better
Are more of a “get it done” type person than a perfectionist
Aren’t afraid to throw away code you wrote when after testing, a flow you built doesn’t work as well as another one
Can easily communicate with non-technical folks and translate their feedback into code.
Are comfortable defaulting to over-communication and overreaching when it comes to coordination.
Adjust quickly to changing priorities and conditions and cope effectively with complexity and change.
