Type
Full Time
Job Description
Millions of tests are performed through our products and thousands of data points are collected globally every day. With all this usage comes countless ways to dissect and analyze our data, and plenty of exciting opportunities to optimize our monetization strategy. When you work for us, you are using Ookla data and insights to further our mission to improve connectivity for all.
We are looking for a highly capable software engineer to join our Android team. You will be responsible for building features that deliver meaningful and accurate results conveyed with a cutting edge user experience.
You have built and published an Android app. You know when to use an RxJava and when to reach for another tool. You meditate on scope and lifecycle design decisions and thought "finally" when you learned about using Kotlin coroutines with lifecycle-aware components. You want to make a better Internet for everyone. You already use Ookla's tools to check your broadband or mobile data performance, now you have a chance to be a part of the team that produces them.
We are committed to providing you a flexible work environment where individuality, fun, and talent are all valued equally. If you consider yourself innovative, adept at collaboration, and you care deeply about the work you do, we want to talk!
Expectations for Success
- Develop and maintain features of our Android applications on a variety of form factors (phones, tablets, TVs). This includes design, implementation, testing, documentation, deployment, and maintenance.
- Solve for reliability, scale and flexibility, all the while implementing a visually rich and slick user experience.
- Integrate analytics to ensure optimal performance of deployed code.
- Collaborate on architecture, technology choices, and interactions with other core components such as shared libraries, backend APIs or our distributed server network.
Requirements
We are looking for the right person, not the exact list of requirements. If you believe your life experience has prepared you for similar challenges, we'd like to hear from you.
- 3+ years of professional Android application development experience.
- Expertise in Java with a solid foundation in data structures, algorithms and design patterns.
- Success creating custom Views to support complex user interfaces.
- Experience with reactive programming (RxJava/RxAndroid).
- Solid understanding of multi-threading and concurrency, including Java threading primitives, java.util.concurrent, Looper, Handler, Schedulers, and Kotlin coroutines.
- Experience writing unit, integration, and user interface tests.
- Proficiency with collaborative development workflows (branches, PRs) and continuous integration practices.
- Strong time management skills and a self driven work ethic.
PREFERRED
- Experience with iOS development or React Native.
- Contributed to Open Source projects.
Benefits
We care deeply about each other and the work we do, and our perks are just one way we demonstrate this. We offer a comprehensive benefits package, including (but not limited to):
- 401(k) matching,
- unlimited PTO,
- ESPP options,
- health/dental/vision insurance coverage, and
- enhanced parental leave.
You will have the best hardware, software, and tools available for you to do your work, and we provide excellent flexibility for working remotely as time and responsibilities allow. To promote your success and growth, we offer tuition reimbursement, educational opportunities, and anti-racism and LGBTQIA+ resource libraries. Transit passes, team happy hours and activities, and gym reimbursements are only a few of the additional, outstanding perks available to you at Ookla!
If you're passionate about joining the work we're doing, we welcome your application and encourage applicants with both traditional and non-traditional experience that makes them an excellent candidate for the role. We strongly believe diversity of all kinds makes us better. We are an equal opportunity employer actively working to build an inclusive workforce at all levels of the company.
