HotelTonight Starts and Ends with Great Products
At HotelTonight, we take enormous pride in the product experiences we deliver to both customers and hotel partners. We build amazing products by questioning the standard way of doing things. We are looking for an outstanding engineer who shares our passion for beautiful, practical products that earn raves from our peers and our customers.
You may have seen our apps (or even booked a hotel through them!), but you should know that we're far more than an app developer. Because we've built the world’s first mobile-only online travel agency, there's a lot of code behind the scenes to process transactions, interface with hotels and determine which ones go on sale each day.
Every day, the team faces the challenges of scaling to support our increased booking volume, building a unified global platform and adapting to the newest mobile technologies, all while keeping our apps fast and our U! X clean and simple. To accomplish this, we utilize whatever technology is best to solve a particular problem, not necessarily the one we're currently using.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Develop Android applications for Android phone, tablet, and other devices that run the Android OS (or derivatives).
- Push the envelope with what is possible with Android, keeping the product true to our core product values of Simplicity, Beauty & Fscking Usefulness, but extending it where we can take advantage of Android-specific functionality.
- Work with the rest of the team to extend our APIs and other systems to support your ideas.
- Be our Android evangelist and expert.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IN YOU
- Excellent knowledge of Android SDK, Java, and related technologies.
- A passion for the Android platform - you consider it the best, use it yo! urself, know it well, and want to make perfect apps for it. Yo! u have published apps in the Android Market and they have stellar reviews.
- Excited by and familiar with the tools and methodologies we use for building great software, including Git, Java, a multitude of open source libraries, and tools and techniques for a great development environment
- Damn opinionated. If something isn't up to our level of quality, even if it's not what you’re working on directly, we expect you to make a stink and help us improve it.
- Independent and product-focused. We expect our developers to also define big portions of the products they build. If you want to be handed a complete product spec on your first day, you'd probably be happier working elsewhere.
WHAT YOU'LL GET FROM US
- An opportunity to define mobile commerce and change the way people book travel, at a thriving company funded by top investors (Battery Ventures, Accel Partners and! First Round Capital).
- Camaraderie of a great team that works incessantly to build the next great online travel company.
- Great SF office location at 2nd and Mission. (If you don’t live in SF, we’ll move you here.)
- Excellent health, dental, vision and 401K plans.
- Great perks: Annual travel stipend, money to buy mobile devices and customize your desk/rig, catered lunches and breakfast several times a week, unlimited coffee and snacks, kegerator, and a gong (that you’ll get to bang when you ship something amazing).
