• We're a newly formed org within Guest & Host that brings together identity and commerce foundations under one roof. Our mission is to move the company beyond the transaction — building a world where accounts create trust, value sticks, and the benefits our community earns travel with them, and their businesses, wherever they go.

• Success in this role looks like shipping reliable, performant, and polished Android experiences that keep parity with our iOS and web surfaces, growing your ownership over time as the Android presence for this team expands, and becoming a dependable contributor the team can count on to deliver.

A Typical Day

• Partner with product and design to turn new concepts into polished, accessible Android experiences

• Collaborate with backend, iOS, and web engineers to keep feature behavior and data consistent across platforms

• Write clean, well-tested, maintainable code, and actively participate in code and design reviews

• Learn from and collaborate with senior engineers on the team, and contribute to shared Android patterns and best practices as the team scales

• Troubleshoot and resolve bugs, performance, and reliability issues affecting the Android app

Your Expertise

• 3+ years of professional Android engineering experience, including shipping features in a large-scale, production consumer app

• Experience working with backend and other platform (iOS and web) engineers to integrate APIs and keep cross-platform experiences consistent

• A track record of delivering features from technical design through launch and iteration, with growing scope and independence

• Strong communication and collaboration skills, and a habit of seeking and acting on feedback

• Comfort operating with some ambiguity, including on a newly formed team establishing new surfaces for the first time
