We value curiosity, collaboration, and a passion for development. In addition to Android expertise, backend knowledge—preferably in Node.js—is essential to support full-stack features and smooth front-end/back-end integration. Join us in a skilled and dedicated team at a market-leading company.

What you will do

• Collaborate in a small autonomous team of developers, designers, and a product manager in our mission to continue to provide a best-in-world Android magazine application to the market.
• Collaborate with other Android developers to jointly shape the direction of our Android tech stack and development processes.
• Leverage your backend knowledge, preferably in Node.js, to work on full-stack features and enhance the overall functionality of our applications.
• Collaborate with developers across other stacks to shape the direction of our complete tech stack portfolio.
• Manage releases in various app stores.
• Assure code quality through code reviews.
• Learn a ton of new things and share your knowledge with colleagues.
• Have fun and take a lot of pride in what you and all of Readly are doing.

What we are looking for

• Ideally, you have 5+ years of professional experience in software development, including 3+ years of Android app development.
• You have a strong understanding of modern Android development, mobile architecture patterns, and experience with modern Android development tools.
• You know how to write readable, maintainable, and performant code and care about quality in your work.
• You possess backend development experience, preferably with Node.js, to support the integration and functionality of our applications.
• You’re excellent in problem solving and debugging code.
• Experience working in Agile/Scrum/Kanban-oriented team environments.

Who you are

• You are passionate about building great products that people love.
• You have a “can-do mentality,” but you are not afraid to ask questions and seek assistance from colleagues.
• You value teamwork and collaborative problem-solving, demonstrating good communication skills, empathy, and a team-first mindset.
• Culture fit – You embody our culture of bravery, humility, and transparency and are passionate about helping us achieve our goals. You understand the importance of curiosity, empower others, and build on a foundation of trust by sharing information openly and proactively.
