Job Description
Medium’s mission is to help people deepen their understanding of the world and discover ideas that matter. We are building a place where ideas are judged on the value they provide to readers, not the fleeting attention they can attract for advertisers.

We’re looking for a Staff Android Engineer to join our talented cross-functional team, where they’ll own key aspects of our Android application and contribute to our core mobile architecture.

At Medium, we are proud of our product, our team, and our culture. Medium’s website and mobile apps are accessed by millions of users each day. We’re looking for mindful, empathetic, and self-aware engineers to join our team to help us move thinking forward. With a strong focus on growth and personal development, Medium is the ideal place to develop your skills in an environment that is built on mutual trust and respect.
What will you do?
As a Staff Android engineer at Medium, you will be responsible for contributing to the solution of large scale features in the Medium Android app, as well as collaborating cross functionally with other product development teams.
