Stream's mission is to elevate the quality of apps for billions of users globally.
Role
Who you are

- Experience working on an SDK (a plus)
- A passion for ensuring quality by writing pragmatic automated tests

What the job involves
- As one of Stream's Android Developers, you strive to simplify how applications are built
- You will write and maintain open-source libraries that are used by hundreds of our customers and consumed by millions of their users
- Most of your day will be dedicated to software design, research, and coding
- You will work with modern mobile tech, such as Kotlin, Coroutines, and Jetpack Compose, focusing on code quality, testing, and CI/CD processes
- You are building SDKs that other developers use. This sets a very high bar in terms of code quality
- Our SDKs are used by some of the world’s largest apps. Stability, performance, and world-class documentation are essential
- Since we provide APIs & SDKs that thousands of companies use, we can and should optimize to a very high-quality level
Our take
Every day, people all over the world communicate via in-app chats. However, chat and UX tools can take months to build and years to perfect. Stream solves this problem by allowing developers to build chat and activity streams into apps quickly and without hassle.
Having started out building APIs for activity feeds, Stream quickly moved into the lucrative chat market. Its customers now include household names such as Unilever, NBC Sports, and TaskRabbit, and it has seen funding from both big-name firms and startup CEOs- a clear indication of the company's broad appeal.
The company has lately been focussed on further developing its in-house technology, in order to fuel its continued growth in the coming years. It continues to enrich its Activity Feed, Chat SDK and 2022-released AI-based Moderation products, as well as developing Live Video capabilities, which it states clients have been interested in for some time.
