Use Python and SQL to analyze real-world food, health, and lifestyle data, contributing to recommendation systems, clinical research, visualizations, and business reports in a Tokyo R&D internship.
About this role
The Android engineer will design, develop, operate, and improve the Android application for Oishii Kenko, along with other applications provided by the company. Responsibilities include analyzing and reporting on user activity, proposing improvements to the app experience based on that analysis, considering new features and defining requirements, testing and debugging, improving the mobile CI/CD environment, and evaluating technical measures that increase development efficiency. Candidates who can also work on server-side development may contribute to API development.
The main qualification is approximately three or more years of service development experience using a programming language, regardless of the language used. The role also welcomes engineers changing direction from Java, iOS native application development, other mobile applications, or web application development. For a junior development track, practical engineering experience is not required, but experience developing an application with Kotlin is expected; the stated learning guideline is at least four months. Applicants who are students seeking a new-graduate position are not eligible.
The Android application is developed with Kotlin. The environment includes Android Studio and the MVVM architecture, together with Android Jetpack technologies including Jetpack Compose, AAC, Navigation Component, Room, WorkManager, and Paging Library. Other named libraries and technologies include Kotlin Coroutines Flow, Dagger Hilt, and Epoxy. MacBook Pro computers are provided for development. AWS is generally used for infrastructure, with services deployed on ECS. GCP is used for analytics and machine-learning tasks, and CircleCI is used for nearly all services.
The product area covers food and health. Oishii Kenko develops a meal-management application for patients and consumers, the Kakaris meal-guidance solution for medical institutions, and solutions for health insurance associations. The company also conducts joint clinical research with medical institutions and uses accumulated food and health data in research activities. Engineers work with designers, registered dietitians, and other members to improve the service and can propose ideas from the service perspective rather than only implementing predetermined specifications.
The position is full-time and based in Tokyo. Online interviews are available. The company states that employees use remote work and core-time flextime. New employees receive onboarding support including monthly one-on-one lunches with a mentor and regular meetings with the CEO during their first six months. The company has approximately 40 employees and describes itself as a startup.
