Software Engineer - Android (Remote, Fulltime/Benefits)

We are looking for engineers to work on Gaia GPS for Android. The app has old code written in Java and new code written in Kotlin.

About the Work Environment

Engineering at Gaia GPS means being on 1 of 2 small teams. Each team has cross-platform skills (iOS, Android, web, design) and sets its own roadmap in collaboration with user support and marketing. There is a huge frontier of ideas to explore, from core maptech and search problems, to the quest for an easy and engaging UX.

Gaia GPS has recently grown to 33 people, including 20 people working on engineering, 6 on support/testing, 4 on marketing, 2 on design, and 1 on admin. Everyone learns to code at Gaia GPS if they haven't in the past.

The company is boot-strapped/profitable, was founded in 2008, and has grown quickly since 2018.

Non-salary financial benefits include health insurance and 401K matching.

We provide the best computers, monitors, tablets, and other home office equipment. We reimburse home internet and mobile phone bills. We comp expenses for any sort of books or other materials for learning.

We have a retreat every 9 months, alternating with and without families (past ones include Tahoe, Zion, Rocky Mountain NP, Park City, camping, backcountry skiing, etc), to hang-out and mingle the remote team.

Skills and Requirements
