About this role

We are hiring an Android engineer to develop awesome features for the Wikiloc app.

Millions of people use Wikiloc and rely on it for their outdoor experiences. Currently, our Android team consists of two people. We are looking for another team member to join us and help us improve the app and deliver delightful outdoor experiences for the Wikiloc community.

For this position, we are looking for someone who has experience developing Android apps, solid programming skills, and a sharp analytical mind. Having good product taste and empathy for people is a must too. Above all, we are looking for managers of one. If you're a go-getter with a love for product craftsmanship and a sense of urgency for shipping new and exciting features, or if you are someone who's not afraid of diving into a big codebase to fix a hairy bug, we want you.

Our app is built from a fairly standard modern Android stack: Kotlin, RxJava, Jetpack, Retrofit, Firebase, Koin, etc. We follow the MVVM architecture, and we use Realm for persistence. You should be familiar with most of those technologies.

What you’ll do

As an Android Engineer at Wikiloc, here are just a few examples of things you might work on:

• The next generation of offline maps for the mobile app.
• New trail exploration and navigation features.
• Partner integrations: Garmin, Suunto, etc.
• Improving the battery consumption and performance of the app.
• Algorithms to improve recording and navigation accuracy.
• Conceptualizing new features and writing project stories.
• Bug fixing.

Great work is never done by a single person, so you'll be working hand-in-hand with the rest of your teammates from the Android, iOS, and backend teams. We hope to learn tons from you and teach you what we know in return.

There's much work to do on the Wikiloc app for Android, and we have lots of ideas and projects in the pipeline for making the app better. We owe it to our community to do a good job. Join us to build and shape the mobile app used and loved by millions of outdoor enthusiasts
