nonfiction, help more than one million people around the globe to keep
learning new, exciting things, each and every day. The app has been

-
Passion for writing clean, elegant, and easily-testable code

At our Berlin HQ we offer a fantastic workplace including all the
benefits you’d expect – from a personalized perk system to free drinks,
fresh fruit, and furious foosball fights, plus the nicest, smartest
bunch of coworkers. Uniting us as a team, we foster a unique company
culture championing self-empowerment, transparency, direct
communication, personal development, and mutual support. We got rid of
classical management hierarchies and instead distributed authority among
all colleagues. So, we strongly believe in the advantages of
self-organization and autonomous working: not only do we want you to
grow into the Blinkist Android developer role, but we want this role to
grow with you, too. Add a competitive salary, flexible working hours,
