What does the role look like?

As an Android Engineer specializing in Kotlin, you'll play a pivotal role in building our Android app from the ground up. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to deliver a high-quality Android application that mirrors much of the functionality of our existing web and iOS apps. The focus will be on ensuring exceptional performance and delivering a user experience akin to leading social media platforms. The mobile app serves dual purposes: enabling creators to manage their stores—onboarding, accepting 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 engaging notifications to enhance user engagement without being intrusive.
• Building chat functionality comparable to WhatsApp and iMessage.
• Developing live streaming capabilities for broadcasting and viewing, including audience interaction features.
• Creating a forum feature similar to Reddit for community discussions.
• Implementing interactive gamified features like a prize wheel for giveaways.
• Developing a marketplace feature to help users discover new whops and products.
• Building 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 but poised for rapid growth. Our goal is to reach top rankings on the Google Play Store, and you'll be a key player in achieving that.
