About this role
This mid-career, full-time Android engineering role focuses on the company’s own Oishi Kenko Android app and other applications, including Android products developed with client companies. The work covers application design, implementation, operation, maintenance, and continuous improvement. Responsibilities include analyzing and reporting on user activity, proposing experience improvements based on that analysis, considering new features, defining requirements, testing and debugging, releasing updates, reviewing other developers’ code, maintaining the mobile CI/CD environment, and evaluating technical measures that improve development efficiency. Developers who also want to work on server-side systems may contribute to API development.
The posting welcomes candidates who have published an Android app on Google Play, keep up with Android development trends, and understand or have experience applying application architectures such as MVP, MVVM, and Clean Architecture. Experience developing GUI applications with Jetpack Compose in either personal or professional work is also welcomed. The posting emphasizes interest in improving people’s daily lives through software, questioning established development methods, identifying user difficulties, and investigating the reasons behind user needs.
The Android environment uses a MacBook Pro and Android Studio. The stated application architecture is MVVM. Named libraries and technologies include Android Jetpack, Jetpack Compose, AAC, Navigation Component, Room, WorkManager, Paging Library, Kotlin Coroutines Flow, Dagger Hilt, and Epoxy. AWS is used for infrastructure, with services deployed on ECS, while GCP is used for analytics and machine-learning-related tasks. CircleCI is used for nearly all services, and the development environment also includes Git, GitHub, and GitHub Copilot under a company license.
The product provides personalized recipe search and meal planning based on a user’s health condition, including illness or dieting. The development organization works across registered dietitians, engineers, and designers, discussing improvements and iterating through testing. The company describes itself as a startup addressing healthcare and social challenges through food and technology.
The work location is Tokyo. Remote work and core-time flextime are available, and online interviews are accepted. Company-wide meetings are held weekly and include breakfast. The onboarding information states that mentors provide monthly one-on-one lunches during the first six months, alongside regular meetings with the CEO. Seasonal internal events are held every three months.
