Detail information about job Principal Android Developer. Terms and conditions vacancy

  • Leadership role
  • Great technical challenge
  • Melbourne

The Role
We’re seeking a Principal Developer for our Mobile Apps stream to work on our popular Android app, the APIs the app calls, and the internal tools that help us automate things and ship high-quality experiences frequently. As one of the senior technical people in the team you will help us deliver innovative solutions to our job-seeking app users, drawing upon the creativity of the web, API and AI/Machine Learning teams and systems that surround us at SEEK. You will help build and lift the capability of the team around you, lead the team in making sound technical decisions, and guide the strategic architectural direction of the apps and supporting backend services.
  
The Team
You will work in a cross-functional and Agile delivery team comprising developers, QAs, iterations managers, business analysts, data analysts, designers, UXers, product managers and delivery managers.
  
How we work
We build both apps and backend-for-fronted APIs integrating with other teams in SEEK and 3rd parties. We believe in (and practise) continuous delivery, automated testing, collaborative development and robust monitoring (the only thing worse than breaking stuff in production is not knowing about it). We build and support our software and you will also be participating in our paid after-hours support roster. We welcome (expect even!) strong opinions (weakly held), and are constantly looking for ways to improve our processes and tools. We love people who do the right amount of thinking up front (driven by data).
  
Technologies we use
Our apps (Android and iOS) are built using Kotlin and Swift. Our APIs run in AWS, using Lambda and whole host of other supporting services (DeviceFarm, API Gateway, SNS, SQS, DynamoDB, S3… you get the idea) and are mostly written in JavaScript. We use GitHub to manage our code and pull request process, TeamCity to build, test and deploy. We use Bugsnag, DataDog and Splunk for monitoring and PagerDuty to wake us up at night if things break. We get A/B testing insights using Apptimize and our user interaction data is piped through Segment.io. We use Bash (and Node) to automate things and Docker for isolation.

How can I tell if this is for me?
  
We’re looking for someone who has a strong passion for mobile apps and a great understanding and appreciation of the unique challenges of mobile. We love people who are genuinely curious about our customers and their needs. We look for people with the ability to quickly pick up new technologies, languages, platforms and processes. We need someone who can provide leadership and direction to a team who are technically strong and passionate but are always looking at ways to be better at our jobs. You’ll have the ability to effectively communicate trade-offs and impacts to stakeholders, and strive to be an effective conduit between business and technical stakeholders.
