About The Role
We are looking for an experienced full time Senior Android Engineer, Software Development to join our new Lagos-based cross-functional software development team, which will build the software that powers and improves our ability to deliver massive learning gains – at scale.
The Lagos team will have a special focus on the learning management platform and the rest of the technology running in our academies (which is all Android based). This person will join an elite, interdisciplinary team that will be building the technology that will take NewGlobe to the next level. It’s a great opportunity to grow and learn, while working on developing software with a mission that few, if any, can compete with.
We believe in innovation, fast feedback, and high impact. We have an existing portfolio of native Android applications that undergird our ability to support self-sufficient academy management, engage the local community, and deliver high-quality education to our pupils. However, we need someone that can drive the next generation of these platforms, ensuring high availability even in challenging conditions and generally driving innovation in the mobile space. It’s all about rolling up one’s sleeves to introduce best practices, deliver key functionality, and pave the way for exciting future possibilities, like adaptive curriculums and automated grading of tests (to name just a few).
What You Will Do
Gather requirements, build, test, and ship new Android functionality for our academy tech platform

What You Should Have

Full lifecycle experience, from conceptualisation to deployment to feedback from production
Experience with writing library projects that get reused across multiple android apps
Knowledge of Gradle and DI helpful
Experience architecting whole Android applications, not just adding features or porting existing apps
Belief in the importance of automated unit, integration, and functional tests for Android apps
Exposure to continuous integration and continuous delivery practices, especially in an environment of weekly (or even more frequent) releases to production
Love for collaboration and working with driven stakeholders, including presenting work with confidence when interacting with business owners and users
Openness and eagerness for learning new paradigms and practices
Passion for NewGlobe’s vision of democratising the right for all children to succeed
What We Offer
