Android Engineer, Device Platform

Stripe Terminal helps our users extend their online presence to the physical world. The Terminal team's mission is to make it as easy for businesses to accept in-person payments as the Stripe API has done for online payments. Stripe was founded to make it easier for developers to accept payments. We've solved a small part of that problem, but our ambition is to go much further.

Android engineers on the Terminal team will build and enhance the Device Platform including the applications and services that run on the physical Terminal devices. This also includes building the frameworks for other engineers, both internal and external to stripe, to develop on our custom platform with ease.

Responsibilities:

• Design, build and maintain Android apps and SDKs in Kotlin
• Develop Android payment applications for a variety of devices and form factors
• Work with engineers, product managers, designers, and stakeholders across the company to bring new features and products to Stripe's mobile users
• Collaborate with Android developers who work on the Stripe mobile apps and Stripe Terminal to set best practices for Android development across the company
• Work with user research and product design to understand users and address their needs

Minimum requirements:

• Have a strong technical background, with 5+ years of experience in Android development
• Listen well and internalize the best ideas from all over the organization while also setting a vision that others are excited to get behind
• Prefer simple solutions and designs over complex ones, and have a good intuition for what is lasting and scalable
• Thrive in a collaborative environment involving different stakeholders and subject matter experts
• Can put yourself in the shoes of your users and be a steward of crafting great developer and consumer experiences

Preferred qualifications:

• Custom hardware experience on Android platform
• Payments expertise or knowledge
• Backend Infrastructure or services experience

This role is available either in an office or a remote location (typically, 35+ miles or 56+ km from a Stripe office). Office-assigned Stripes spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This hits a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility about how to do this in a way that makes sense for individuals and their teams.
