Job Description


Your way to impact:


How we work:

• Communication is key to our process, and we don't want to hinder it with walls. We work directly with other teams.
• Engineers build, test, release and monitor their own code.
• We pair program often. We believe that we do our best work when we work and collaborate together.
• We default to async communication and call for meetings when necessary.
• We hold daily stand-ups and have regular retrospectives to discuss things that are going well and opportunities for improvements.
• We value unique perspectives brought by diverse backgrounds and experiences. A broad range of ideas and perspectives help us to create the best possible product and work environment.

Types of projects we work on:

• We do a lot of open-source development as our SDKs are in public GitHub.
• We build and support PayPal's SDKs, which are the primary way for a merchant to accept payments on their websites and mobile apps.
• We are launching new and interesting ways to pay through our SDKs.
• We create easy-to-use developer tools that supplement our SDKs and Integrations.
• We are focused on improving the developer experience by engaging with the external developer community, creating tutorials, blogs, and speaking at conferences.

Your day-to-day:

• Building PayPal's Mobile SDKs for Android
• Working with stakeholders across PayPal to create simple, robust Mobile SDKs that enable all PayPal has to offer
• Partnering closely with cross functional partners, like Venmo, in design and product
• Providing feedback on code and contributing to architecture discussions
• Engaging with internal and external developers to better understand developer pain points and ways to improve the developer experience

What do you need to bring:

• Experience building Android applications
• Experience in developer-facing products (e.g. SDKs, REST APIs, GraphQL) or products that enable third-party application development are great to have but not required
• Excited about our team's focus on open source and improving developer experiences
• Experience with or interest in working with a team of engineers
• Keep up to date on industry trends and technologies and apply them to our products
