As an Android Engineer at Disney Streaming Services, you’ll be building solid, scalable and maintainable mobile applications. Our Android team builds apps for phones, tablets, Android TV and Fire TV, as well as connecting with Chromecast, smartwatches and other devices. We primarily work with on-demand streaming video in the sports and entertainment sector. We are looking for someone with 3-5 years of experience in Android/Java and preferably with experience writing code in Kotlin. We are building a new video streaming service for Disney and you can be a part of this! Our European office is based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and we work together with our colleagues in New York and San Francisco.
We are looking for a team player, someone that is good cultural fit for a bunch of bright, fun and professional people. An engineer that can and will propose solutions while keeping our stakeholder's needs in mind. You are proficient with Java and/or Kotlin - most of our new code is written in Kotlin. You should have a strong understanding of the Android application lifecycle, knowledge of Rx and data binding will also be extremely useful. Thinking about application architecture should be second nature and MVC/MVP/MVVM/MVI should be no strangers to you. Of course, you’ll also write unit tests to make sure your code is and remains stable.
Our company is robust and established, but our team is flexible, dynamic and forward thinking. Our Android team is split over three offices. We work together and share knowledge across the global team, but you will mostly work with your local colleagues in the Amsterdam office. Many of us have been part of this team for several years.
