Job description

SOFTWARE ENGINEER, ANDROID

Current is a leading consumer fintech platform transforming financial access for everyday Americans with over 6 million members. We provide access to financial solutions that seamlessly work together to solve the needs of our members and enable all Americans to build better financial futures. Based in NYC, our results-driven environment drives us to build better products, grow faster and empower everyone on our team to have an impact on our business and mission to improve financial outcomes.

Our mobile engineers are responsible for building the full suite of user experiences for our members, leveraging our proprietary backend banking core. The mobile apps are native (Kotlin/Swift) and primarily use gRPC to interface with our backend. Being the primary interface for our members to manage their finances (there isn't a web app), the mobile experience needs to be highly performant and intuitive to use. This forces our engineers to think through foundational layers of application infrastructure, reusable UI components, and the collection of data that drive these decisions. Join us for an opportunity to work in a fast-moving environment where your work is highly visible and has a direct impact on our members' financial outcomes!

We are looking for an Android engineer to join our team in New York. This role has a salary range of $160,000 - $200,000. The ideal candidate should have a few years of experience building native mobile applications and be ready to take on full ownership of features. This person should also be a motivated self-starter who feels at ease working through ambiguous challenges in a fast-paced environment.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

Be a part of a small and nimble mobile engineering team working closely with our product, design, and backend engineering teams to enable new end-to- end experiences for our users

Owning the delivery of features from system design through launch, with support from senior engineers on the team

Contributing to the scalable and reusable mobile frameworks that drive code consistency and engineering velocity

Raising the bar on architecture, testing, and monitoring practices in the code you write and review

Helping Current's members build better financial futures through products like Paycheck Advance, Build Card, and Savings Pods

A strong culture of code and architecture review, with real feedback and room to grow

ABOUT YOU:

2+ years of native Android development, using Kotlin

Working knowledge of Android fundamentals including component lifecycles, dependency injection (Hilt), multi-threading, persistence, and usage of Jetpack components (Compose, Material 3, Navigation, ViewModel, etc)

Comfortable working within a modularized app architecture, including unidirectional data flows, MVVM, and use of Gradle modules

Experience working in a codebase shared by a team of engineers, with a real code review culture

A genuine interest in the personal finance space!

BONUS:

Experience with profiling and optimizing UI performance (smooth animations, reducing jank, etc)

Experience with using gRPC (Google Remote Procedure Call) and Protobuf (Protocol Buffers) schemas for networking

Have published and maintained apps on the Google Play Store

Experience migrating legacy XML/View code to Compose

BENEFITS:

Competitive salary

Meaningful equity in the form of stock options

401(k) plan

Discretionary performance bonus program

Biannual performance reviews

Medical, Dental and Vision premiums covered at 100% for you and your dependents
