Job description

veritree is an award-winning climate tech start-up based in Vancouver. Launched in 2021, our technology measures and verifies the impact of global restoration efforts from the ground-up. We are a small team on a big mission to plant 1 billion verified trees by 2030 with our community of businesses, planting organizations, and consumers who believe in the transformative power of verified restoration projects to create real and meaningful impact for the planet, nature and people.

About the role :

veritree is seeking an Android Application Developer to contribute to our custom android application. Our application is used to collect data from our planting partners, on the ground, across the globe. You’ll partner closely with stakeholders, engineering, product owners, and design to release new features and updates.

The android application, built on Kotlin, helps us with our mission of planting and verifying trees. It records GPS data, allows creation of points, paths, polygons, as well as capture of images, video and other data. The application is meant to work in offline mode for planting sites that are off the beaten path, and sync’s data to servers on demand through connections to our API backend built in Laravel and Node. You will be working closely with Back-End Developers to determine the needs and requirements of any API endpoints needed to communicate with the application. This is a complex application and workflow that requires ongoing maintenance and revisions, while reliably supporting our planting partners working hard each day to plant millions of trees.

Successful applicants must be located in Vancouver, BC and be willing to work from our HQ on a hybrid basis (Tuesday to Thursday).

What will you be doing?

• You will develop Android applications using Kotlin and bring a strong focus on UX and intuitive interaction design.
• You will apply your technical fluency in backend systems and platform architecture to ensure seamless integration and performance.
• You will balance long-term vision and strategy with hands-on, pragmatic execution to deliver impactful features.
• You will collaborate effectively with product owners, developer leads, field operations teams, QA, and design to drive aligned outcomes.

Key Outcomes :

• You will work with internal and external stakeholders to define and implement comprehensive solutions for data collection.
• You will analyze and understand workflows used by field partners and verification teams, proposing and building app features that support those processes.
• You will integrate the mobile application with Node and Laravel backends to capture and store planting evidence and related data reliably.
• You will build user management features, including role-based permissions and dynamic form templates sourced from the API based on user region, role, and planting stage.

Professional Requirements :

• Bachelor’s degree in Applied Science, Computer Science, or a related field.
• Advanced experience developing Kotlin Android applications that interface with multiple external endpoints.
• Experience with geojson and mapping technologies, ideally using MapBox.
• Proven ability to develop Android applications that function in both online and offline environments.
• Demonstrated experience interfacing with external APIs and managing dynamic datasets based on user roles and permissions.
• Strong ability to collaborate with Back-End Developers to ensure seamless communication between Android apps and backend APIs.
• Demonstrated ability to manage and deliver complex technical products on time and to spec.
• Must be located in Vancouver, Canada and legally eligible to work.

Personal Strengths :

• Passion for sustainability, technology, and building strong, collaborative teams.
• Strong communicator who thrives in cross-functional environments.
• Detail-oriented, proactive, and adaptable when working with evolving project requirements.
• Generous paid days off
• Flexible working arrangement (hybrid model)
• Opportunities for training and development
• Employee discounts at tentree
