What does the role look like?

As an Android Engineer specializing in Kotlin, you’ll be responsible for building our Android app from the ground up. You will be building a new Android app from scratch. Our app is set to encompass much of the functionality of our existing web and iOS apps, with a focus on ensuring exceptional performance and a user experience akin to leading social media platforms. The mobile app serves dual purposes: enabling creators to manage their stores, onboard, accept payments, and more, while also allowing users to consume their purchased products. Post-purchase, users will download the app to access and engage with their products.

Your key responsibilities will include implementing seamless and beautiful notifications to enhance user engagement without being noisy, building chat functionality that rivals WhatsApp and iMessage, and developing live streaming capabilities for broadcasting and viewing, including audience interaction features. You will also create a forum feature similar to Reddit for community discussions, implement interactive gamified features like a prize wheel for giveaways, develop a marketplace feature to help users discover new whops and products, and build a complex search function to navigate all accessible data and discover new features.

You will be integral in ensuring our app becomes the glue to our entire platform, currently in its infancy stage but poised for rapid growth. Our goal is to reach number one on the Google Play Store, and you’ll be a key player in achieving that.
