Job description

We’re looking for Android Engineers to join our team. As part of a cross-functional scrum team you will design and develop new investment account and cash account functionality within our Android app. In addition to development on the app itself, you will write automated tests and integrate with our in-house design systems and our backend API. Come help us achieve our vision to make investing delightfully easy and understandable for our clients and prospective clients!

About Wealthfront Engineering

Wealthfront’s culture centers around continuous learning, innovation, and quality-driven software development. With high quality software as our ultimate engineering objective, our key tactic is automation:
 
• Wealthfront software automates the financial services we provide to our clients, and within these services we automate the collection of data that we learn from on our way to making our services even better.
 
• Wealthfront engineers function as builder/operators, with dual responsibility for building the system and operating it in production. Any toil that this brings about is automated away by engineers. This investment in automation is expected, and the prioritization of it is always built into our planning and execution.
 
• Wealthfront engineers automate our development processes. For example, Wealthfront engineers automate all of our testing. Manual testing is not part of the software development lifecycle at Wealthfront.
 
• Wealthfront engineers automate observability in case of failure. If something is up, our systems inform engineers appropriately. If our systems are quiet, they are healthy.
 
If you are drawn to being an engineer within such an environment, and having outsized impact as an engineer at a magnitude that is only available within a company achieving greatness at our size (~350 employees, half in engineering), then we want to hear from you! 
 
As a core member of the team, you will:
  • Build a premier native Android application
  • Collaborate with other engineers and designers to build new features and enhance existing features for our world-class app
  • Work with frontend and backend engineers to design, build and test reusable REST APIs
  • Design and build high-quality infrastructure; making the right tradeoffs for risk and long-term maintainability
  • Collaborate with design and product to define a delightful Android experience using material design
  • Get an opportunity to work with leadership to define the team's priorities and initiatives
  • Work independently, use available resources to get unblocked, and complete tasks on schedule by exercising strong judgment and problem-solving skills
  • Provide technical guidance and mentorship to peers
This role could be a fit if you have:
  • 2 - 6 years of professional Android development experience
  • Proficiency with Java or Kotlin
  • Experience writing unit tests and testable code
  • Knowledge of Android SDK performance tools and optimization techniques
  • Excellent problem solving, critical thinking and communication skills
  • You enjoy working in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment
  • BS or MS in computer science, related field, or equivalent professional experience
Once you join, Wealthfront will:
  • Pair you with a mentor who will guide you through our structured onboarding program
  • Encourage you to work on projects that match your professional goals
  • Support your professional development by providing feedback during weekly 1:1s and our semi-annual reviews
  • Provide you autonomy so you can be a happy and successful member of our team
Estimated annual salary range: $150,000 - $189,000 plus equity and a discretionary bonus.
 
Benefits include medical, vision, dental, 401K plan, generous time off, parental leave, wellness reimbursements, professional development, employee investing discount, and more!

About Wealthfront

Here at Wealthfront, our mission is to create a financial system that favors people, not institutions. We do this by leveraging technology to build powerful, low-cost, and easy-to-use financial products that help modern investors grow and manage their money.

We started with the ambition to transform the investment advisory business. By automating strategies typically reserved for the wealthy, we unlocked access to high quality investment advice for a digitally-native generation that was underserved by traditional institutions. Since then, we've expanded to a full suite of products designed to help our clients turn their savings into long-term wealth, including:

• A Cash Account that, through our partner banks, offers one of the highest annual percentage yields on uninvested cash in the industry, while providing instant and secure access to your money with no account fees and a full suite of checking features.

• A zero-commission Stock Investing Account with 50+ handpicked collections that help DIY investors discover new companies and make smarter investing decisions.

• Multiple automated investing portfolios designed to unlock tax savings through sophisticated strategies like fixed income, tax-loss harvesting, and direct indexing—which we offer at industry-leading low costs and accessible minimums.

Our award-winning products have attracted over 1 million clients who trust us with more than $90 billion of their hard earned savings—and we're far from done. If you’re inspired to help us reshape the financial industry as we create our next chapter, let’s talk!
