ABOUT THE ROLE

As an Android Engineer, you will be part of one of our small and highly skilled cross-functional teams and work together with Product Managers, Backend Engineers, iOS Engineers, Product Designers, and more. You will also be part of and collaborate on a global level with the broader Mobile chapter.You will deal with a variety of topics ranging from improving reliability of Bluetooth implementation within the Android SumUp app and the SumUp SDK, to implementing user-facing features such as screens to interact with card readers, to collaborating on developing technical roadmaps.
To be successful in this role you should be able to follow good software engineering principles, write clean code and tests, and be open to constantly learning and improving your craft. It will be expected from you to not only ship features, but also to contribute to the decision making process.
You should be a mobile engineer with a product mindset who can fully own the features you are working on and remain flexible with changing priorities.
The role is based on-site in our office in Berlin.We believe in the power of face-to-face conversations that happen organically when working next to one another.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

You’ll shape the card reader experience of merchants who are using the Android App on a daily basis.
In the first few weeks, you’ll dive into the code and learn how to create clean, composable components in our codebase. You’ll use this knowledge to start developing and refining features. You’ll learn how we write tests, how we manage Bluetooth communication, and how we keep performance optimal.
In the first three months, you’ll develop major features that impact our merchant base. You’ll work closely with product and design departments to build features that are maintainable, usable, and beautiful. You’ll help us rethink problems we’ve solved before in a different way as requirements evolve.
By the end of your first year, you’ll have a wealth of knowledge about our complex problem domain, as well as its implications in the interface and in the backend - and how to manage it in a clean way. You’ll have launched numerous features in the Android App as well as in the Android SDK.

You’ll be great for this position if:

  • You have hands-on experience building mobile applications of similar complexity to SumUp’s Super App.
  • You’re comfortable with Kotlin, Java, and the Android framework
  • You have good knowledge of architectural design patterns such as MVVM and MVP, and experience ensuring modularized and scalable app architecture
  • You know what to test, why to test it, and how to write flexible tests that won’t break
  • You care about user interaction, usability, and have attention to detail
  • You strive for clean code, but also know how to be pragmatic when needed
  • Your precise communication skills are well suited to working in a distributed team

Why you should join SumUp

  • The opportunity to work on large scale fintech products used by millions of small businesses around the world
  • A dedicated annual Learning & Development budget for attending conferences and/or advancing your career through further education
  • Enrollment onto our virtual stock ownership program - you will own a stake in SumUp’s future success
  • A corporate pension scheme
  • 28 days’ paid leave
  • You’ll attend global offsites and/or hackathons.
  • You’d enjoy other great benefits such as Urban Sports Club subsidy, Kita placement assistance, subsidized office lunches and other location-tailored benefits, Babbel language platform subscription and more!
