Job description

About Rivian

Rivian is on a mission to keep the world adventurous forever. This goes for the emissions-free Electric Adventure Vehicles we build, and the curious, courageous souls we seek to attract.

As a company, we constantly challenge what’s possible, never simply accepting what has always been done. We reframe old problems, seek new solutions and operate comfortably in areas that are unknown. Our backgrounds are diverse, but our team shares a love of the outdoors and a desire to protect it for future generations.

Role Summary

The Vancouver team is chartered to develop mobile software applications and SDKs for Rivian products and is composed of developers of all backgrounds with experience in iOS, Android, SDKs, IoT, Bluetooth, and Security. We are growing!

Outside of work, our team is chock full of adventure seekers in all senses of the phrase. We have lived and travelled around the world, we ski and snowboard, we camp and hike, we take up adventurous hobbies like bagpipe playing, and we live in adventurous places like floathouses. Some of us have joined the adventure of raising kids, and some of us have joined the equally adventurous world of raising pets.

But the most adventurous thing we have all done recently is jump ship from the safety of corporate jobs to come together and become Rivian Vancouver!

Responsibilities

• Design and develop Rivian infotainment applications on Android OS
• Develop sample and demo applications, making use of our technology
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including product and UI/UX design teams, to define application features
• Identify potential problems and resolve application bottlenecks for performance optimizations
• Triage, debug, and fix application issues before final release
• Perform code reviews and practice continuous integration and development
• Write test code to test for quality, robustness, and functional correctness, including edge cases
• Design and implement subsequent application updates and releases
• Grow your skills with continual learning, workshops, conferences, and talks

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or Software Engineering (MS preferred)
• Proven Android app developer with 5+ years of experience
• Proficiency in Kotlin, Java, and C++
• Ability to manage your workload with minimal supervision
• Proficiency in using Android and Android Jetpack APIs, including knowledge of Android NDK and JNI
• Knowledge of Android design principles and application interface guidelines
• Knowledge of Android’s performance and testing framework
• Familiarity with embedded Android framework services
• Experience with developing mapping, multimedia, and Bluetooth solutions is a plus
• Familiarity with push notifications, APIs, and cloud messaging
• Excellent coding and proofreading skills
• Familiarity with the best in class software development practices
• Proficient in code versioning tools including Git, Bitbucket, and others
• Experience with continuous integration tools, such as Jenkins
• Familiarity with Agile Scrum practices
• Excellent inter-personal skills with the ability to collaboratively work with and influence cross-functional teams
• Top-notch teamwork and communication skills
