Job Description

Android Pioneers are Android full-stack developers with technology running through their veins. They’re someone who likes to get their hands dirty in developing apps but also want to tweak all of Android’s internals. If you are afraid to learn new frameworks, dig further and deeper, extend your skills and working methods, please don’t apply.

Apart from excellent technical skills, all the usual stuff applies. You’ll need to be a problem-solver, a planner, and a doer. Under your own influence, you will connect the dots, enable other teams to work and keep all Android things running like clockwork. But you’re no clock-watcher. You bring energy and star-quality to what you do and practice engineering excellence with a smile. All this while relentlessly learning ever more of what makes Android and all its next-gen technologies tick.

In return, you’ll be surrounded by some of the best talents in the business, in an inspiring environment where our people are well-looked after, happy and part of a connected team that’s changing the future of mobility. 

Responsibilities

Get ready to be challenged (in the best way): from networking fundamentals to personalized experiences, media to real time system updates, and enabling constant improvements based on vehicle information, you will be at the cutting-edge of the BMW Group’s technologies.

 

Profile

Whatever you’re working on, here’s the lowdown on the technical skills you’re likely to have:

 

• 3+ years of object-oriented software development experience.

• 1+ years’ experience working on Android projects in Java/Kotlin using the Android SDK.

• Practical knowledge and/or interest in C and C++ and/or Linux.

Nice to have

• Working experience with Android internals is highly valuable.

• Experience working in an Agile development environment as a detail-oriented team player with good written and verbal communication skills.

• Versatile with 3rd party libraries.

 

Apart from great technical skills, our environment is fast-paced and 100% agile. It prioritizes autonomy, teamwork, interaction, and resilience.

We’re organized into Scrum teams and projects typically consist of one or more teams sharing a common development, configuration management and continuous delivery environment.
