About the Android Engineer

This isn’t just any Android engineer position, this is a fantastic opportunity to completely own the development of Enplug’s primary user-facing product! Our screens are built entirely on Android, and we’re looking for an enthusiastic Android engineer to lead the development of our application which shows interactive Enplug content across our network.

We’re looking for somebody who is passionate about the Android platform and is hungry for the opportunity to push its boundaries, venturing where no Android developer has dared to go before. We develop Android applications for our own dedicated hardware, so you don’t need to worry about the hassles of multiple screen sizes, legacy SDK versions, or device-specific quirks. Instead, you get to work with the tools of your choice in a sandbox of incredible Android creativity.

You’ll be a particularly good fit for leading this product if you have a mobile game development background or experience with 3D graphics APIs and libraries such as OpenGL ES and LibGDX <link http://libgdx.badlogicgames.com/>. If you don’t already have that experience you’ll need to have the focus and drive necessary to pick it up. We place a heavy focus on providing a fun and engaging user experience, so we’re looking for somebody who shares our passion for building the best product possible. You’ll work closely with our design team to create one of the most interactive in-venue experiences the world has seen, so having a flare for product design yourself is a big plus.

People who meet us comment on our energy, dedication, and the passion we have for what we’re building. This is an opportunity to join and grow with one of LA’s top engineering teams, so we’re looking for somebody who is proud to bring their own unique vision and excitement to the table. At such a fast moving start up you’ll find opportunities rather than boundaries in every single role.
