About The Company

At Scribd, our mission is to spark human curiosity through stories and knowledge. We create four products—Everband, Scribd, Slideshare, and Fable—and empower both readers and creators with a seamless, personalized experience.

About The Team And Role

As a Senior Android Engineer, you will own core consumption areas of the Everand app (Home, Discover, Saved, Audio Player).

  • Collaborate with product, design, QE, and engineers to deliver features that are performant, intuitive, and visually polished.
  • Strengthen the app’s architecture and performance, ensuring smooth playback, fast load times, and a reliable offline experience.
  • Contribute to technical direction, helping evolve Everand’s Android foundations and development best practices.
  • Partner with other engineers to improve code quality, test coverage, and release reliability.
  • Participate in code reviews, mentorship, and design discussions to help the team grow and move cohesively.
  • Champion a user‑first mindset, grounding technical decisions in how they enhance the reading and listening experience.

Qualifications

  • Significant experience building and shipping high‑quality consumer Android apps at scale.
  • Fluent in Kotlin with deep experience in Jetpack Compose, Coroutines / Flows, and modern architecture patterns (MVVM or MVI).
  • Keen eye for usability, accessibility, and performance; skilled at building intuitive, beautiful interfaces.
  • Experience in media or streaming apps (ExoPlayer or Media3) and strong understanding of seamless playback and offline delivery.
  • Excellent cross‑functional communication; works early and often with product, design, and QA to align on goals and trade‑offs.
  • Ownership mindset : takes responsibility from concept to release and prioritizes long‑term thinking.
  • Passion for mentoring and knowledge sharing, supporting team cohesion.
  • Deep empathy for users—understanding what makes Everand impactful in daily lives and translating that into features.
  • Optional “Plus” Experience

  • Improving app reliability, load performance, or crash metrics in large‑scale Android apps.
  • Familiarity with dependency injection (Hilt / Dagger) and Compose Navigation.
  • Experience with Auth0 or similar authentication frameworks.
  • Interest in cross‑platform collaboration with iOS or React Native teams.
