Android Systems Developer New York City http://amplify.com/u/a1f53i

Android Systems Developer New York City

Compensation: $110K - $120K / Year

Minimum Education: Bachelors

Job Type: Full Time

Jobcode: MABJA14



This is a key role on our mobile device client engineering team. You'll be building both iterative and substantial revisions to our flagship tracking and ad SDKs for Android devices and will have an integral role in our engineering organization. This is a developer tools job and you'll have the opportunity to interact with, teach and learn from many of the top developers on the Android platform as well as learn and work on other emerging mobile platforms.



REQUIREMENTS:



We touch upon just about every framework in the Android SDK and stay at the frontend of the curve as Google pushes out new releases.



Performance analysis and tuning will also be a significant responsibility in your job. Given the limited resources of mobile devices we need to squeeze every last bit of performance we can get - and then some. Experience developing applications that perform well, use as few resources as possible while still being responsive to users is expected. You should be able to step back and look at a problem in different light to identify an approach that improves performance.



YOU:



You studied computer science (or another tech-heavy science/engineering field) in school and can proudly claim that you spent more than your share of late nights bathed in the glow of compiler output.



You have a track record writing multi-threaded code and experience with synchronous and asynchronous code.



Algorithms and data structures are your friends.



You see problems as opportunities and have what it takes to effectively communicate, brainstorm and collaborate to work through them.



You're more than comfortable with *nix-based operating systems.



MORE ABOUT YOU:

Knowledge of Android’s development environment & APIs

Multiple years of experience with Java programming (Android, J2ME, or other small-footprint Java)

Experience with CPU/memory profiling

Experience with web development (HTML/JS)

Experience developing reusable APIs

Big bonus points for experience with ad serving and/or data analytics

Bigger bonus points for experience with other emerging mobile platforms & APIs (iPhone, Blackberry, Palm, Windows, Nokia, ...)
