About the Company

At Scribd (pronounced “scribbed”), our mission is to spark human curiosity. Join our team as we create a world of stories and knowledge, democratize the exchange of ideas and information, and empower collective expertise through our four products : Everand, Scribd, Slideshare, and Fable.

We support a culture where our employees can be real and be bold; where we debate and commit as we embrace plot twists; and where every employee is empowered to take action as we prioritize the customer.

When it comes to workplace structure, we believe in balancing individual flexibility and community connections. It’s through our flexible work benefit, Scribd Flex, that employees – in partnership with their manager – can choose the daily work-style that best suits their individual needs. A key tenet of Scribd Flex is our prioritization of intentional in-person moments to build collaboration, culture, and connection. For this reason, occasional in-person attendance is required for all Scribd employees, regardless of their location.

So what are we looking for in new team members? Well, we hire for “GRIT”. The textbook definition of GRIT is demonstrating the intersection of passion and perseverance towards long term goals. At Scribd, we are inspired by the potential that this can unlock, and ask each of our employees to pursue a GRIT-ty approach to their work. In a tactical sense, GRIT is also a handy acronym that outlines the standards we hold ourselves and each other to. Here’s what that means for you : we’re looking for someone who showcases the ability to set and achieve G oals, achieve R esults within their job responsibilities, contribute I nnovative ideas and solutions, and positively influence the broader T eam through collaboration and attitude.

About the Team and Role

As a Senior Android Engineer on the Everand team, you’ll help shape the future of how people discover, organize, and enjoy books. Everand is growing, and we’re evolving our reading and listening experiences to make stories more accessible, personal, and engaging for our readers.

You’ll play a vital role in connecting readers with the stories they love by owning the core consumption areas of the app, including Home, Discover, Saved, and the Audio Player. You’ll work closely with engineers, designers, QA, and product partners to align technical decisions with user needs and platform capabilities. Along the way, you’ll build features that drive performance, personalization, and reliability - while helping shape the technical direction of our Android team.

We value quality over speed, thoughtful planning over short-term hacks, and continuous improvement over “just good enough.” We’re looking for engineers who share these values and who are energized by writing clean, scalable code, trying new technologies, and collaborating with diverse teams.

About the Role

• Your main focus will be to design and build high-quality Android experiences that make reading and listening more personal, discoverable, and organized across Everand’s audiobook and eBook.
• 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.
