Android Developer Job Posting

Overview
Do you have experience building Android apps and are looking to join a company that is equal parts established and entrepreneurial? Want to pair that with helping millions of people be healthy, all while working with a great team? Our Mobile Developer role helps build our portfolio of health and fitness apps, building on the base of 15MM people who have already installed our apps.

More About the Role
We build and support health and wellness apps for both iOS and Android. Our Android developer will work very closely with our iOS developer on backend and other functional aspects of app development. Our developers work collaboratively with our product managers and executive team to brainstorm ideas for new app features and sometimes new apps. The developers then have wide latitude to build the app using their own creativity and skill. UX/graphic designers are also available to help. All of our apps have extensive interactive features, so all apps tie into backend databases and systems. A senior DBA and others are available to provide assistance when necessary. To learn more about our existing apps you can visit sparkpeople.com/mobile.

Requirements:

  • 3+ years direct building Android apps
  • Self-starter who can work in a results-oriented, fast-paced team environment
  • Demonstrated ability to think critically and strategically, including the ability to understand business strategies and requirements
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science or an equivalent degree/experience
  • Position is based in Cincinnati

This salaried position is full-time and does include benefits (401K, health/dental insurance and more). We are looking for someone passionate about what they do to join one of the best digital health teams in the world!

IAMAGEMLOVER
What do I think of [SparkPeople]? I think you changed my life for the better. I lost 132 pounds. I am healthier and I do apply it to my life. I am happier and do accomplish more on a daily basis. So many people have commented on the change in me. I do see a counselor. I used to go once a week. That has changed; I now see her once a month. We talked about SP, she read your book and she said she uses a lot of your techniques with other patients. Chris, I don't think you know how many people's lives you have touched for the better.

The SparkPeople office (located in downtown Cincinnati) is a fun and exciting work environment with amazing career opportunities, an on-site gym and the flexibility for occasional work-from-home. Our small team regularly works with many of the top internet and publishing companies. SparkPeople leaders have worked together for more than 20 years.
