letgo's the largest app to buy and sell locally, with over 100M
downloads and hundreds of millions of listings added by users. Named one
of Wired’s “Hottest Startups” and among 2016’s “Best Apps” by Google,
letgo’s the second fastest growing app in America since its 2015 launch.
Business Insider calls letgo “the go-to app for selling your stuff” and
it’s been featured by The New York Times, The Today Show, Mashable,
Fast Company, The Wall Street Journal, Fortune and hundreds of others
worldwide. It’s the only app with artificial intelligence and image
recognition that make posting something for sale as simple as taking a
photo. Users can easily browse local listings, chat instantly in the app
and view each other’s profiles, ratings and reviews.
Based in our New York and Barcelona offices, our team of over 165
represents more than 20 nationalities. Fueled by our diverse expertise,
letgo’s goal is to build the largest marketplace of its kind in the
world. We’re looking for people who are as passionate as we are about
creating something our users love and - just as importantly - who are
excited by the challenge.
We’ve built a company for people who want to do impactful work,
surrounded by great people. We have a well-defined, mature culture — and
we’re always making it better.
Our team of Android engineers iterates fast to deliver new features
to our beloved users. We build lots of features, test them and decide
what to keep, improve or discard based on our data analytics and user
research.
If you join our Android team, you will help solve different types of problems:
-
Improve buyer and seller communication by giving them tools built over our rock-solid WebSocket chat.
-
Let people earn some money by understanding the value of the goods that are scattered around their homes.
-
Make the user experience as easy as a snap.
-
Make letgo a safer place for buyers and sellers.
To get there, you'll need:
We're looking for experienced Android engineers that know when to cut
corners and when to schedule a refactor. Candidates should be open to
communicate and explain their decisions to the team and should be able
to work hand to hand with designers, backend engineers, product managers
and data engineers to build an awesome product.
We're looking for people who are able to ship features fast but
keeping the quality of the code high. Over 50% of our codebase is
written in Kotlin, but existing features are written in Java. We use
RxJava and Dagger.
You should be able to read, understand and suggest improvements in
our code as well as write the necessary tests to be sure that the
features that you deliver are good to be shipped. Familiarity with
analytics and monitoring tools is a plus.
