About Argent
Crypto has the potential to help create a fairer internet and more open financial system
We want to make that accessible to everyone
To do this, we’ve built a <a href="https://www

xyz/" rel="nofollow">crypto wallet with the simplicity and security of the best new banking apps – without the bank
We hope it solves some of crypto’s biggest problems: there are no seed phrases, transaction fees or cryptic addresses
And it protects you from theft
As a team, we have experience scaling mobile apps to tens of millions of users
Our eclectic backgrounds include PhDs in nuclear physics, quantum cryptography and decentralised cognitive networks
We’re fortunate to be backed by the top VCs in Europe, including <a href="https://www

The Senior Android Developer role
You’ll drive the development of our native Android app
This is critical to Argent’s future as Android is the dominant platform in emerging markets, where there are some of the most urgent use cases for crypto
You’ll therefore be solving problems at scale for people around the world
This means we’re looking for a highly skilled Android developer who can push mobile technologies to their limits
Your code will be efficient, maintainable, reusable and well-tested
You’ll define and build state-of-the-art application architecture
And you’ll implement custom native user interfaces using the latest Android programming techniques
In the role you’ll work closely with world class engineers and product designers who aim to build an unrivalled product
You’ll not only contribute technical ideas but will help shape their overall direction
Requirements are:
- 3+ years experience delivering quality, at scale consumer-facing Android apps available in the Play Store
- Fluency with Java and RxJava; knowledge of Kotlin is a plus
- Interest in blockchain and the Ethereum ecosystem
- Strong object-oriented programming, and a good knowledge of pattern and anti-pattern design
- Experience with app profiling, code versioning, deployment and continuous integration
- Strong communication skills and an ability to work with both engineers and other roles
- Fluency in written and spoken english
How we work
We work remotely, transparently and balance Argent with the rest of our lives
We’ve all got loved ones with unpredictable schedules, be they kids or cats
Although we’re a distributed team you’ll need to be based in the UK or Europe
This is because we find communication much easier when we’re in similar time zones and a short flight away
Within Europe you can choose to work wherever you like!
We get together for a week every quarter so we can collaborate in person, explore new solutions, and have fun
So far we’ve played pétanque in Nice, bonded in Brussels and (tried to) surf in Lisbon
Equal opportunities
At the heart of what we do is making crypto accessible to everyone
We want the team itself to reflect that diversity so we’d strongly encourage applications from underrepresented demographics
