Software Engineer (Android)

Looking for someone to join us as an early member of the Android team. This means participating in all design and product decisions of the early days of a product-centric company.

In the initial months, you'll be working closely with the founding team, gradually taking ownership of central components and features. Given our early stage, we're seeking versatile engineers comfortable contributing to various aspects of the company's foundation.

We value team members who delve deep into their respective domains, aiming to cultivate a team of subject matter experts. This commitment to expertise is an expectation for every team member.

As an Android Engineer, your day-to-day will include

Feature Development

• Being at the forefront of delivering unique and high-quality UI features in a fast-paced environment. We encourage pushing the boundaries of what's possible, and your expertise in low-level APIs, shader creation for dynamic effects, and custom rendering systems will be invaluable.

Platform Development

• Actively participating in creating and enhancing the platform. This includes participating in writing careful abstractions that other Android team members also use, such as media encoding, decoding, and playback; libraries that incorporate performance tracing along with associated internal tooling; our own components for dealing with navigation and deep links across apps etc. - you are not just working on your feature, you’ll be working on ‘cross-company components‘.

Roadmap Creation and Ideation

• Contributing in the roadmap creation and ideation process. Your experience will be essential in identifying tradeoffs and bringing valuable ideas from both product and engineering perspectives.

Knowledge Sharing

• We value continuous learning and knowledge sharing. Your active participation in staying up-to-date with the latest trends and best practices, attending conferences, engaging in online communities, and sharing your insights internally will contribute to our collective growth.

Owning your scope

• You will be responsible for monitoring analytics and managing system crashes. We value engineers who take ownership of their scope and proactively address issues and triage bug fixes.

Your Skills & Experience

We are hiring multiple engineers of varying levels, so please indicate your years of experience on the application form to apply for the appropriate position.

• Professional experience in native Android development using Kotlin or Java.
• Good understanding of computer systems fundamentals (program execution, linking, multithreading, memory management, processes, and file systems etc.).
• Professional experience in low-level languages like C or C++ is a significant advantage.
• Passion and experience building consumer-facing products - we’d love to hear about apps you've made.
• Working on platform - experience building SDKs/Libraries (building for others).
• You don’t need to speak French to apply (and you don’t need to speak perfect English either, we'll help you to ramp up quickly if needed).

Life at amo

To ensure that everyone is set up for success within our way of working, we work together onsite 5 days a week.

We wanted to make sure coming to the office was as comfortable as possible for you:

• We chose a location in central Paris, near Opera (Metro lines 3, 8, 9, and RER A).
• We have a beautiful Parisian-style office with high ceilings, balconies, and huge windows. So a lot of natural light.

Because life outside of work should also be stress-free, we cover:

• Health care (100% coverage).
• Maternity Leave, Paternity Leave, Second Parent Leave (salary maintained at 100%).
• Vacation days: 8–9 weeks (total) per year (European summer?).
• 5 weeks of paid time off (by the state).
• 1–2 additional weeks (RTT, based on our company contract).
• 11 bank holidays.

We shut down entirely twice a year, two weeks in summer and one week in winter to allow everyone to truly recharge and to avoid prolonged slowdowns (especially in the summer). These pauses are part of your total vacation time, giving everyone a real chance to unplug and recharge. No Slack, no email, no FOMO.

We love the diverse perspectives we get from having people from all over the world join us (68% of our team is international), and so we of course support relocation to Paris with:

• Help and sponsored visa process
• 1 month of Airbnb 100% covered by amo upon arrival.
• Assistance from a trusted relocation agency to find your permanent home.
• Help with French paperwork like opening a French social security account, tax forms, getting your carte vitale (free healthcare) and more.
• French lessons to be fully set with your new Parisian life.
