Software Engineer II, Android
Course Hero is scaling! As an Android Engineer II, you will work on critical projects for one of Course Hero’s fastest growing platforms. You will develop features primarily in Kotlin, with the opportunity to contribute to server-side projects. You will thrive in an engaging, high-growth environment, with a collaborative, learning-focused culture. Our engineers have the autonomy and independence to innovate.
Each engineer has a role in building Course Hero's architecture and will have the opportunity to touch all parts of the stack. While our projects are big, with users around the world, our team is small, so you’ll see projects from start to finish and work closely with product managers and designers to ensure successful results.
