Our SumUp office In Berlin is now hiring for the position of Android Developer.
The Job
You’ll shape the core experience of merchants who are using the Android App on a daily basis.
In
the first few weeks, you'll dive into the code and learn how to create
clean, composable components in our codebase. You'll use this knowledge
to start developing and refining features. You'll learn how we write
tests, how we manage bluetooth communication, and how we keep
performance tip-top.
In the first three months, you'll
develop major features that impact our merchant base. You'll work
closely with product and design departments to build features that are
maintainable, usable, and beautiful. You'll help us re-think problems
we've solved before in a different way as requirements evolve.
By
the end of your first year, you'll have a wealth of knowledge about our
complex problem domain, as well as its implications in the interface
and in the backend – and how to manage it in a clean way. You'll have
launched numerous features in the Android App as well as in the Android
SDK.
Requirements
You will fit in perfectly to our team if:
- You're comfortable with Java and the Android framework. You also know how to get things done on the command line.
- You know what to test, why to test it, and how to write flexible tests that won't break.
- You care about user interaction, usability, and of course making the interface beautiful.
- You strive for clean code, but also know how to make your "shortcuts" easy to delete in a crunch.
- You
love coding and take the time to reflect on all aspects of your
implementation, be it the frameworks, languages or processes.
- You're not afraid to use Google or ask for help when something is beyond your grasp.
- Your precise communication skills make working in a distributed team effective and efficient.
- Technology excites you and you strive to learn something on a daily basis!
Benefits

contribute to not only the company's success but keeping everyone
well-rounded and hands-on.
- Opportunity to attend tech meetups and conferences with the team (especially if you're giving a talk!).
- Convenient location in the heart of Berlin Mitte.
