Description

Sprout Social is looking to hire an Android Engineer to the Engineering team.

Why join Sprout's Engineering team?

With collaborative cross-functional teams that span mobile, front-end, back-end, QA and site reliability engineering-the Sprout Engineering team is a place to sharpen your craft and solve hard problems with the smartest people in the industry. You'll get to work on a "tech-giant" scale with smaller, supportive teams where every engineer has the chance to make an impact on our company, and our customers. The best part? In our industry, you often have to switch jobs or even companies to learn a new part of a tech stack or business. But at Sprout, our product is a suite, so you just need to move teams. You're able to diversify your skills, which not only benefits your team-but also your career.

What you'll do

• Leverage your experience building and deploying native, customer-facing, Android applications using Kotlin, Java and Android Studio to deliver impactful product features to our customers.
• Work to actively improve the processes, systems, and tools we use to deliver a quality mobile product.
• Be part of a small, but highly cross-functional team with the opportunity to contribute on a product with rapidly growing mobile user base

What you'll bring

We're looking for a creative, pragmatic, collaborative, highly motivated, and inquisitive Android engineer to build great software with us. If you are excited about building native Android applications and are passionate about learning, we would love to talk with you!

The minimum qualifications for this role include:

• 2+ years of experience building and maintaining mobile applications for Android platforms
• 2+ years of experience in Android native mobile programming languages, such as Kotlin, Java

Preferred qualifications for this role include:

• Familiarity with Android's material design and interface guidelines
• Demonstrated experience with mobile application development tools and techniques such as MVVM (Model-View-View-Model) Architecture, Android's clean architecture principles, different Android versions, Android SDK, Dagger Hilt, Retrofit, Kotlin Coroutines and Flows, Android Jetpack and Android Studio development environment

How you'll grow

Within 1 month, you'll plant your roots, including:

• Attending and completing Sprout Social's two-week new hire training and onboarding program alongside other new Sprout team members. In these sessions, you will gain a broad understanding of our products and how your role directly impacts the product, overall organization, and our customers.
• Making a plan with your manager to set initial priorities, align on expectations for your role, plant goalposts for your career, and learn about Sprout's approach to mobile engineering.
• Getting to know everyone on the Mobile team: including iOS, Android, and QA Engineers, Product Designers, and Product Managers and your Manager
• Learning the Sprout product, Android app codebase, development lifecycle, release process, and team rituals.
• Running the Android app locally.

Within 3 months, you'll start hitting your stride by:

• Having a firm understanding of the Sprout Social product and how those features are implemented and supported within our Android application.
• Owning the development and delivery of a small to medium size mobile feature alongside another mobile engineer and adding meaningful test coverage.
• Getting regular team feedback on your code through code reviews as well as contributing towards feedback.
• Deploying code to our production Android application in order to understand the engineering environment, build tools, testing, and deployment mechanisms.
• Leading team rituals (e.g. Standup, Retro, and Release Manager rotations).

Within 6 months, you'll be making a clear impact through:

• Working with Product Managers, Designers and Platform Engineers to iteratively own and deliver a new feature.
• Identifying and championing technical debt and performance bottlenecks within our systems.
• Presenting learnings in team meetings.
• Having your first performance conversation with your manager, where you'll discuss your accomplishments in your role and work together to build goals for your professional growth.

Within 12 months, you'll make this role your own by:

• Independently owning the development of large-scale mobile product features.
• Working closely with colleagues to constantly enhance the application by suggesting innovative features and solutions - improving development workflows, design, and the overall experience.
• Actively mitigate risk of failed delivery and missed deadlines through courageous, transparent communication and collaboration with colleagues and stakeholders throughout the project life cycle.
• Surprise us! Use your unique ideas and abilities to change your team in beneficial ways that we haven't even considered yet.

Of course what is outlined above is the ideal timeline, but things may shift based on business needs and other projects and tasks could be added at the discretion of your manager.
