About Schedit
Schedit is a cloud-based workforce management platform on a mission to transform how businesses handle their most complex operational challenge : scheduling. We're building intuitive, efficient, and beautiful experiences that streamline operations, compliance, and reporting across industries. As we gear up for our 2025 launch, we're assembling a founding engineering team that will define our technical culture and build the foundation for years to come.
This is your chance to be part of the zero-to-one journey—where every line of code matters, every architectural decision shapes the future, and every team member has outsized impact.
About the Role
We're seeking a Full Stack Engineer who will lead our Android development while contributing across our entire technology stack. This is a unique opportunity to own the end-to-end delivery of our Android application while being part of a broader engineering ecosystem. You'll work closely with our Senior Mobile Engineering Lead (who drives our iOS platform) and contribute to backend systems when needed.
This isn't a role confined to just mobile development—you'll think full-stack, write production code across Android and backend services, and have the autonomy to shape both our mobile experience and the systems that power it. As we scale, this role has a clear path to technical leadership, with the opportunity to build and mentor a world-class mobile engineering team.
What You'll Own
Android Platform Leadership : Take full ownership of our Android application from architecture to deployment, ensuring a best-in-class mobile experienceMobile-First Development : Build native Android applications using Kotlin and Java, leveraging modern Android architecture components and best practicesProduct Launch Execution : Drive the successful delivery of our Android application to support our 2025 launch plans—ship fast, iterate based on user feedback, and maintain high qualityFull Stack Contribution : Contribute to backend services (Java-based) as needed, understanding the full journey from API to UITechnical Excellence : Establish mobile development standards, testing strategies, and CI / CD pipelines that enable rapid, reliable releasesCross-Platform Collaboration : Work closely with iOS development to ensure feature parity, shared learnings, and consistent user experiencesWhat You Bring
