Job Description

Are you interested in languages, education and technology and want to work in one of the world's best EdTech startups? Then join us and be part of an ambitious and talented team that revolutionises how we learn languages.

About us

Busuu is the app that makes learning a language easier for everyone and proves that learning a language must not be done in a classroom.

We are the world's largest language learning community with over 100 million users from 190 countries, growing at up to 50,000 new users per day. We make learning a language easy by combining AI-powered courses with instant feedback from our global community of native speakers and live tutoring from qualified teachers across the world.

If you are passionate about languages, want to work with smart, creative, energetic people and possess the initiative, confidence and good judgement to make independent decisions every day - then you are probably the perfect addition for our growing team.

What does a Senior Android Engineer do at Busuu?

As an Android Engineer, you’ll be working on our flagship and region-specific apps, shipping to over 40 countries throughout the world in over 10 languages, offering our users a huge variety of languages to learn from. You’ll think about how users interact with our learning experience, how to help them learn better and faster, and then build an experience that everyone can enjoy learning with.

You’ll be learning fast through different initiatives (guilds, reading clubs, learning together meetings, personal learning budget…), and keeping up with the latest industry standards.

Our tech stack:

Our project is based on Clean Architecture principle and MVP. Working in an agile team (Scrum), we like to brainstorm during problem-solving. Our code base is a little more than 60% Kotlin at the moment and we make use of Dependency Injection and libraries such as Retrofit, Dagger 2, RxJava, Room, Mockito and others. We are also migrating to coroutines, so experience in this area is a bonus :)
