Mobile Developer - Android

Description

We’re looking for an Android Engineer to join our growing team in Tallinn, Estonia. The role is a unique opportunity to join one of the fastest growing companies in Europe and help millions more potential customers save money by using TransferWise. You’ll be based in the team who built and launched our Borderless accounts, a product that is now processing over 2 million transactions and has taken over £2bn in deposits, in 6 months.

You’ll receive a competitive package including generous stock options and private healthcare amongst other benefits.

Your mission:

• Help us build a world-class card product for our Android users. From the moment they sign-up, to their first transaction, you’ll give customers the kind of experience they want to tweet about!
• Design the API and services that power the app. Working closely with our Customer Support team, Analysts and Designers to figure out the best opportunities for our app and overall product
• Put our customers at the heart of everything you do, using empathy to drive your decisions

The role will give you the opportunity to:

• Choose your own path to success - you’ll have the freedom to define the vision and the responsibility for making it happen
• Share your expertise and collaborate with our Android community: as part of our relatively small Android community (around 20 people) you’ll share your ideas in our daily architectural discussions and take thoughts and feedback from your colleagues on how we can improve the app
• Be flexible in how and where you work, we understand everyone needs a little something different so we’ll do our best to make it happen
• Travel to work with our teams in London, Budapest and Singapore

A bit about you:

You’re a product engineer who wants to do more than just support an existing system or pick up tickets from backlog and push code into production without considering value and impact. You want to help take TransferWise to the next level and scale our product to impact 100’s of millions more customers

• Has a strong understanding of how to design and interact with RESTful APIs, plus a peepz understanding of different UI design patterns (MVVM, MVP etc).
• As we’re growing fast then knowing how to write scalable code is a must

Some extra skills that would be awesome:

• Experience with Payment Card or Banking Industry
• Experience with Kotlin
• Experience with Grails, Groovy, Spring Boot and back-end MVC Frameworks
• You know what it means to build software that handles customers’ money. You constantly think about security, risks, data integrity, and bulletproof processes.
