About this role
This is a full-time, mid-career Android Engineer position based in Tokyo. The role focuses on the design, development, operation, and improvement of the company's own Oishii Kenko Android app and other applications it provides, including Android apps developed in collaboration with client companies.
Day-to-day responsibilities include analyzing and reporting on how users use the apps, proposing improvements based on that analysis, considering new app functions, defining requirements, testing and debugging, releasing updates and features, reviewing other developers' code, maintaining the mobile CI/CD environment, and considering or developing technical measures that improve development efficiency. Candidates who can and want to work on the server side may also develop APIs.
The posting lists experience publishing an Android app on Google Play, keeping up with Android development trends, knowledge of application architectures such as MVP, MVVM, and Clean Architecture, and experience developing GUI applications with Jetpack Compose through personal or professional work as welcome qualifications. It also describes a preference for people who examine user needs, identify problems, and pursue practical and efficient software improvements.
The development environment uses a MacBook Pro and Android Studio. The Android application architecture is MVVM. Named Android Jetpack components and libraries include Jetpack Compose, AAC, Navigation Component, Room, WorkManager, and Paging Library. Other named technologies are Kotlin Coroutines Flow, Dagger Hilt, and Epoxy. AWS is generally used for infrastructure, with services deployed on ECS. GCP is used for analytics and machine-learning-related tasks. CircleCI is used for almost all services, alongside Git, GitHub, and GitHub Copilot, which is available under an enterprise license.
The products are in the food, healthcare, and medical-support fields. They include the consumer and patient meal-management app Oishii Kenko, 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 universities and uses food and health data accumulated through its app for papers and conference presentations. Engineers work with designers, registered dietitians, sales staff, and other specialists while discussing screens, system design, and service improvements from the user's and patient's perspective.
The company has 45 members and describes itself as a startup. Remote work and core-time flextime are used, and online interviews are available. Most employees joined mid-career. Onboarding during the first six months includes monthly one-to-one lunches with a mentor and regular meetings with the CEO. No salary or benefits are stated in the posting.
