Substack
San Francisco, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 1/22/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 4/7/2025

Android Engineer

Substack's mission is to build a new economic engine for culture. As a member of Substack's Core product team, you will be responsible for building mobile features for Substack - improving discovery, building community spaces and tools, running A / B tests on key user flows, and maintaining our product experience. Engineers at Substack work in close partnership with designers, product thinkers, and customers to make it easier than ever for writers and creators to make a living.

Substack's compensation package includes a market-competitive salary, equity for all full-time roles, and exceptional benefits. Our cash compensation salary range for this role is $185,000 - $210,000. Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors including candidate experience and expertise and may vary from the amounts listed above. We have a hybrid work environment in both San Francisco and New York City.

Responsibilities

  • Develop features that help grow the Substack app and ecosystem.
  • On Android, we use Kotlin and all the latest Google-approved technologies (i.e. Jetpack Compose, Room, Coroutines, etc.).
  • Collaborate with other Android engineers at Substack to define architectural patterns and ship new features for the Android client.
  • Collaborate with designers, writers, support staff, and many others. From product concept and research to implementation and deployment, we expect you to own your work and operate autonomously.
  • Work directly with customers to solve their problems.

Requirements

  • At least 8 years of software engineering experience.
  • Experience shipping high quality Android apps.
  • Independent and autonomous. We're too small to micromanage, and expect that every person at the company owns their work and can be a leader.
  • Hold yourself and others to a high standard when working on production systems.
  • Take pride in building elegant and delightful product experiences. Substack works best when it gets out of the way so writers can focus on writing and connecting with their readers.
  • Enjoy collaboration with a diverse group of thinkers while bringing our own unique experience and background to the team.
  • Believe in Substack's mission to build a new economic engine for culture.
  • Previous experience working in a startup environment and experience or interest in full stack or web development is a plus, but not required. On the web, we work with JavaScript, especially Node / Express and React, and Postgres. Experience in these technologies is a bonus but not required-if you're interested, we'll be excited to help you learn.
  • Substack is an equal opportunity employer. All applicants will be considered for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity or transgender status), age, national origin, veteran or disability status. We're seeking people passionate about enabling independent expression and building a better business model for creators. If you want to see what media, communities, and content can become when unmoored from advertising models, and you have the skills and experience to contribute, we'd love to meet you.
