Overview

We’re a large scale, consumer brand looking for a seasoned Android engineer to help us build our next generation Android applications. You are super smart and have an insatiable hunger for learning new things and improving existing ones. You have a strong desire to make the world a better place and writing good code makes you happy. You will develop mobile experiences that impact our customers by working closely with other smart, dedicated engineers, designers, and product managers. You are expected to write robust, maintainable code that performs well across a range of devices. You’ll help us make our mobile apps even better, whether it`s implementing new features, improving performance, or making sure that the user interface is top-notch.

BeenVerified creates mobile and web-based products focused on helping people discover, understand, and use public data in their everyday lives. Our products support over a million active users and we are leading the industry in innovative and creative ways. This senior engineer will support our mission by translating it into the design, architecture and development of our Android applications. Many of the applications we’re working on are already shipping to millions of users so you need to be able to create bullet-proof, world-class code that works right the first time and every time.

We believe in diversity and hiring people from all backgrounds and walks of life (it makes our company parties more exciting!). You must be energetic, inventive, a team player and looking to help build and grow the company each and every day. You must have an inner desire to win and the idea of losing is a non-starter. Please note, if you need direct supervision or constant instructions on what to do next, this position probably isn’t for you.  However, if you are looking for a position that allows you to work with a group of smart and dedicated people who will support you but still provide the autonomy you need to execute your strategy, then you should probably apply as soon as you’re done reading this!
