Persona is a private social network built for communities. We make it easy to spin up group chats that are backed by programmatic bank accounts. Our mission is to empower communities to launch, scale and share wealth together as they grow. We have an alpha version of the product already built with early users using the product and more on our waitlist. Check out our 2 min pitch video to learn more, though we are currently not a crypto product, this shows the long term vision.


*What we're looking for*

1. Experienced engineer who has shipped high quality production code.
2. Lots of experience in native Android development, Kotlin, Java, etc
3. Ability to work across the stack and work through issues regardless of where they occur (frontend, backend, infra, etc).  Ability to own the Android build. 
4. Someone who can self-manage and work in a fast-paced, highly ambiguous environment. Experience working in early-stage startups a big plus.
5. Attention to detail, especially performance considerations. You should care about product and user experience, not JUST technical considerations.

# About the role

- Our tech stack is primarily JavaScript, Node, React, React Native and Firebase, however on both android and iOS we’re writing native chat modules. You’d be leading the native effort on Android and owning the Android build.  We’re currently shipping to iOS, Android and web.
- You’ll be working with a highly-skilled team of technical collaborators. The founders built the app themselves and continue to commit code.
- We’re a small, tight-knit, high-trust team. We greatly value creative autonomy and empowering individuals to take full ownership of their work. You’ll encounter almost no bureaucracy, very few meetings and no micromanaging. On the flip side, you’ll have opportunities to own large product surface areas and expand / tailor your job according to your interests.
- We don’t have rigid requirements around hours or when you’re remote vs. in-person. Everyone keeps their own schedule that allows them to be most productive.

# Our interview process

We like to move as quickly as possible and focus on real-world skills and collaboration. You’ll have a chat with a few of the founders and then we’ll try to work together to see if everyone likes it, usually by doing a short, paid contracting job. We’re open to changes depending on life circumstances and flexible on the details of how the trial collaboration works.
