Software Engineer, Android

Remote (Peru)
At Livefront, we help companies design and build world-class digital products that command attention and inspire joy. We've helped household names like CVS, Samsung, General Mills, and Optum create experiences that have reached millions of people, and startups like HomeSpotter and Credly build entirely new businesses that challenge their industries' status quo.
 
We’re looking for an outstanding Software Engineer to join our team. This is an opportunity to work remotely in Peru. 
 

Who you are

You’re a curious, proactive software engineer with a fluent command of the tools and frameworks of your platform and are recognized by your team as a trusted domain expert. You have a knack for writing readable, maintainable code and know how to balance getting it done with getting it right. You don’t shy away from big engineering challenges and have a track record of helping to bring technically ambitious projects to timely completion. You have an eye for detail and enjoy collaborating with UI designers to implement intricate interfaces faithfully. You’re a terrific communicator who can help cross-functional teams navigate from idea to implementation. Above all, you’re a self-starter who thrives in autonomy and can work effectively with little oversight.

What you bring to the table

  • At least 3-5 years of relevant experience, ideally in a consulting environment or as part of an in-house, cross-functional product team.
  • Experience building consumer-facing native applications for Android, with a fluent command of the platform’s native languages (Kotlin) and core frameworks (Android SDK and Jetpack), and tools.
  • Work samples showcasing performant, neatly organized code with clean, well-implemented user interfaces.
  • Mastery of modern software development best practices, tools, and workflows.
  • Excellent communication skills and a strong ability to present and defend technical and architectural choices persuasively.
  • Above-average discipline and personal organization skills.
  • Obvious comfort with critique and peer review in the context of an iterative software development process.
  • A demonstrated hunger for personal and professional growth.
  • A self-evident love and care for the craft of mobile software development.

  • Have experience with other platforms like iOS, Ruby on Rails, or .NET.
  • Have experience with cross-platform mobile frameworks like React Native or Flutter.
  • Understand the app deployment processes, including Firebase for beta testing and Google Play for app submissions and management.
  • Have publicly released your own personal, self-started products or apps.
  • Speak, write, and/or educate publicly about technical topics.
What to expect
When applying, please include a short note about yourself, a summary of your work experience, and a link to any public profiles you actively maintain (e.g., GitHub, LinkedIn, etc).
 
Our hiring process moves quickly and consists of several stages for candidates who capture our attention with their initial submission, sometimes including but not limited to a short preliminary phone interview, a series of video interviews, and a short take-home exercise, which you'll have up to a week to complete.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
