Android Developer

Build and improve Android features across Rare Candy's collector-facing product.

Integrate with GraphQL APIs and collaborate with backend engineers to shape clean, usable client-server contracts.

Fix bugs, improve polish, and raise the quality bar for the Android app.

Work closely with product, design, and engineering to turn ideas into shipped experiences.

Learn quickly, ask good questions, and communicate clearly when something is blocked, unclear, or ready for review.

You start the morning checking the Android board and reviewing feedback on a feature you shipped yesterday.

Mid-morning, you're pairing with other engineers on a new integration for a collection feature.

After lunch, you're tightening up a screen, fixing an edge case, and testing the flow against real user behavior.

Later in the day, you're in a product discussion about how users want to showcase their favorite pulls, bringing both your Android perspective and your own TCG fluency to the conversation.

You close the day by opening a PR with a clear summary, screenshots, and a note about what still needs review.

You have around 3 years of Android development experience and have shipped real features in a production app or serious side project.

You're comfortable building with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose.

You've worked with GraphQL, or you have enough API experience to ramp quickly.

You care about product quality, UI polish, and the little details that make an app feel good.

You're early in your career but serious about getting better. You want feedback, mentorship, and real responsibility.

You're comfortable in a fast-moving startup where priorities can shift and the best answer is often “figure it out, then make it better.”

You know the trading-card or collector world. You collect, play, rip packs, follow the market, or have real fluency in a similar collectible space.

You’re expected to take ownership of your role at Rare Candy and drive your own growth. That doesn’t mean doing it alone. You’ll have support, context, and mentorship along the way.

The systems are still evolving, the team is small, and your work will matter immediately. You'll need to be curious, detail-oriented, and comfortable learning by doing.

If you like mobile product craft, collector communities, and the idea of building tools you would actually want to use yourself, you'll do great here.

Work on features collectors actually care about and are using everyday.

Get real ownership early in your career while learning directly from experienced engineering leadership.

Join a high-trust, low-ego team that ships fast, celebrates wins, and cares deeply about the hobby.

Competitive startup comp, meaningful equity upside, and a salary range of $100,000-$120,000.

Full benefits: health, dental, and vision coverage, 401(k), and a wellness stipend.

A monthly dogfooding budget to spend on cards, because we hire people who love this hobby.
