Senior Software Engineer (Android)

Your way to impact

You'll work on developing and maintaining the Android and iOS client SDKs merchants use to integrate with PayPal & Braintree. That involves writing new code in Kotlin or Swift, in addition to maintaining and updating legacy Java code. Since we rotate pairs frequently, there will be opportunities to learn from & teach teammates working on the other client SDKs and the server SDKs.

Braintree's Core Values (Ask Why, Care A Lot, Solve Together) drive our work and interactions. We ask hard questions, we support each other, and we team up to solve tricky problems. And at the end of the day, we close our computers and disconnect.

Your day to day

In your day to day role you will:

• Pair with teammates on technical problems and writing code for our SDKs
• Write documentation for our integrations
• Triaging inbound requests and issues related to the SDKs
• Optimizing the developer experience by taking in feedback and driving improvements that will have a lasting impact

What do you need to bring-

• 3+ years experience building software or web applications Doesn’t matter what language, just a focus on writing clean, well-designed, scalable code
• An interest and comfort in working in a distributed team. We've been spread out for as long as anyone can remember, with folks who are fully remote as well as several based in Chicago and other offices across the US
• Ability and desire to work in our collaborative environment: pair programming and regular cross-team problem solving with all products and operations teams
• A commitment to documentation, including interest or experience in docs-driven development
• Enthusiasm for pragmatic testing, valuing thorough tests more than total coverage. Experience using a test heavy approach to solve problems and create solutions
