Junior Software Developer (Android)
About The Position
As a Junior Software Developer (Android) at 7shifts, you'll ship real work to an app used by 1M+ workers across 55,000 restaurants — while building your mobile engineering craft on a team that will actually invest in your growth. You'll report to our Senior Manager of Engineering, Mobile, and sit on a feature team with a product manager, designer, and frontend, backend, and mobile developers. Your closest working relationships will be with a Senior Android developer and the iOS developers on your team. You'll also stay connected to the broader mobile team, contributing to the platform that underpins how we build and ship features. Our mobile mission: bring mobile expertise where it's needed, when it's needed. You'll learn our codebase, our patterns, and how we ship quality Android experiences at scale. AI is part of how we work. You'll learn to bring it into your process early — using it deliberately to move faster and build better.
Requirements
- Fluency in Kotlin, and experience with the fundamentals of Android development: activities/fragments, lifecycle, layouts, and asynchronous patterns like coroutines
- Experience building UI with Jetpack Compose
- Experience working with RESTful APIs
- A foundational understanding of software principles, like SOLID
- Experience building an app with an architecture like MVVM
- You use AI to move faster, and you can explain what your code does, what you changed, and where you chose not to rely on it
- A learner's mindset: you ask good questions, seek out feedback, and iterate quickly instead of getting stuck
- Clear communication: you can explain your thinking, and you're comfortable asking for help when you're stuck
Nice To Haves
- A personal or published app on Google Play
- Experience with Java and/or Swift
- Exposure to Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) or unit/UI testing frameworks
- Coursework, projects, or interest in the restaurant, hospitality, or scheduling space
Responsibilities
- Ship features, with support: work alongside senior mobile developers to turn product requirements into real Android features, from spec through release, building end-to-end ownership as you go
- Build strong fundamentals: write clean, tested Kotlin, build UI with Jetpack Compose, and learn the architecture and patterns that keep our app maintainable at scale
- Protect quality with our Support team: triage and resolve bugs, and help keep the app stable and performant for the people who rely on it every shift
- Manage competing priorities: balance your feature team's roadmap against injected work with hard deadlines, communicating early and leaning on your mobile team when target dates are at risk
- Grow through feedback: show up to code review, pairing, and 1:1s ready to learn, and act on the direct feedback you get
- Use AI deliberately: bring AI into your workflow to draft, explore, and iterate faster, while keeping ownership of what ships and always understanding the code you deliver
Benefits
- health and dental
- lifestyle spending accounts
