Android Engineer

Brilliant is building world-class interactive learning experiences. We are hiring for a number of engineering roles to help craft the next generation of interactive learning and change how the world learns. As an Android Engineer at Brilliant, you will be responsible for developing and maintaining our mobile learning applications. You will work on the Android platform, ensuring that our users have a seamless and engaging learning experience on their mobile devices. We are seeking an Android Engineer to join our team and play a key role in designing and building the mobile learning experiences that millions of users interact with every day. In this role, you will be responsible for designing and developing high-quality Android applications for learning, collaborating with cross-functional teams to define, design, and ship new features, optimizing application performance and the application's relevance to the user's context, ensuring the quality and responsiveness of applications, working on bug fixing and improving application performance, and staying up-to-date with emerging technologies and best practices in Android development. We are committed to both "building the right thing" AND "building the thing right" while pursuing high standards of excellence for ourselves, our product, and our codebase. We are building world-class interactive learning experiences that combine challenging problems, compelling narratives, and delightful visual storytelling. We are energized by the prospect of doing the best work of our career and changing how the world learns alongside the most talented peers. We are a remote-first company with hubs in San Francisco and New York City, and we prioritize building a healthy business while maintaining core hours for collaboration. We are committed to diversity and inclusion and encourage applications from underrepresented groups. We are looking for mission-driven individuals who are adventurous, autonomous, and have a strong generalist skill set. We are building a platform that serves hundreds of thousands of paid subscribers and we are accelerating to millions. We are default alive (will be profitable before needing to raise), don't over-hire, are growing new customers at an exciting pace, and have kept valuations tethered to reality. We believe that real-time collaboration and human connection are necessary ingredients in building a high-velocity, creatively-oriented consumer product. We maintain core hours (9:30am – 2:30pm Pacific) where everyone is online, regardless of timezone. Over half of us are located near our hubs in SF and NYC, and folks outside of those cities travel to attend team offsites once-per-quarter. Our vibe is more like this: Imagine and propose the best possible outcomes. Grow in a relatively autonomous way. Work in an environment with high intensity and velocity (but where we also take plenty of vacation). Be adventurous. The work may change every 6 months, but it will rarely be dull. Take projects end-to-end, and figure out answers to unfamiliar questions. Be surrounded by long-term people who are committed to our specific mission. ... and less like this: Have all the best ideas handed to you. Get a checklist for a more senior title. Work in an environment where people strictly keep their 9-5 schedules. Methodically grow your career and portfolio without assuming undue risk. If you don't know the answer, that's probably someone else's job here. Command respect by wearing the Gooblesoft uniform – everyone knows Gooblesoft!
