OurFamilyWizard is a technology company on a mission to help families thrive across all of life’s circumstances. We bring together three leading family management brands: OurFamilyWizard, the world’s most trusted co-parenting application, and Cozi, the #1 family organizing app in the U.S, and FamilyWall, the leading European-based family organization app.
Cozi is the leading family calendar and organizing app in the United States, helping millions of families manage busy family life and receiving over 250,000 5-star ratings. OurFamilyWizard is a SaaS technology platform that enables families to co-parent seamlessly across households. Nearly one million parents and family law practitioners have leveraged OurFamilyWizard to coordinate schedules, record documentation, exchange digital payments, and settle disputes. FamilyWall is available in 9 languages and serves families with their free and paid daily organization, planning, communication and budgeting tools. Together, the platforms provide a holistic set of solutions for all types of families.
We recently received a private investment round from Spectrum Equity, putting Cozi and OurFamilyWizard in the same neighborhood as Grubhub, Ancestry.com, Headspace, and others. We are looking for passionate team members to join us in accelerating our growth to the next level by reaching the millions of families who can benefit from our technology solutions.
As a Senior Android Engineer, you will directly contribute to crafting new experiences that make everyday life a little bit easier for families on their co-parenting journey. You will be part of the expense reconciliation product team, and operate alongside a collaborative group of product managers, designers, QA analysts, automation engineers, and other web and mobile engineers working together to solve meaningful problems for parents, children, and practitioners. You will be empowered to evolve the product experience through contributions towards feature design and development, Android platform architecture, API design, and product strategy. We are looking for an experienced developer who is invigorated by technical challenges, motivated to solve meaningful problems for co-parenting families, and thrives on feedback in the form of positive outcomes for our users.
What you willaccomplish:
Getting to know teammates, technology, and tactics.
The first day will be spent partnering with your manager and a teammate to get your local environment set up and fixing a bug. The following 29 days will involve connecting with teammates across OurFamilyWizard and Cozi to gain a high-level understanding of how we prioritize, plan, build, and deliver value to families on our platform. In these early days, your manager will set up recurring 1:1’s and begin the ongoing discussion of personal and team goals. By the end of your first month, you will be acclimated to the operating rhythm and rituals of your product team and gain confidence by taking on increasingly complex tasks.
Try, learn, ship.
By day 60, you will be comfortable operating within our development lifecycle from planning through production releases. You will have a broad understanding of our Android application architecture, and a deeper understanding of the user experiences within your team’s area of ownership and the API’s supporting these experiences. Weekly work that presents complex and varied challenges will make you familiar with processes, patterns, and best practices. Delivering work in regular releases will allow you to impact our end users.
Solidifying the foundation.
Beyond the first couple of months, you will grow into an autonomous operator, capable of architecting solutions to complex problems that are consistent with our existing patterns and best practices. You will partner with cross-functional engineering teammates, as well as your product manager, designer, and engineering manager to help build execution plans to build out new features that support our product and business strategy. By day 90 as Senior Android Engineer you will have the tools and confidence, to provide that foundational support for your product team.
Accelerate growth.
With a solid foundational understanding of platform architecture, design patterns, and best practices you will have opportunities to inform and affect change at the platform level to further your ownership, impact, and growth. Through partnership with product and design you will be empowered to influence strategy and end-user experience. Complex product problems, and technical challenges related to scale and modernization will present opportunities to establish yourself as a subject matter expert and pathways to continue learning and growing as an engineer.
