Meet Your Future Neighbors

As an Android Software Engineer at Nextdoor, you'll join a fast-moving team of developers, product managers, and designers who are passionate about using technology to cultivate a kinder world where everyone has a neighbor they can rely on. The Nextdoor Android team works on features and infrastructure to deliver our values to our members.

As such, you'll get the opportunity to make key contributions across our Android stack - this includes developing and improving our networking, analytics, experiments, modular app structure, and testing infrastructure - in addition to making direct contributions to Nextdoor's product. We believe engineers should have a stake over all aspects of the product - from coming up with the next big ideas to build, through helping set expectations and plan roadmaps, all the way through understanding the impact of new features through rigorous data analysis. As your career at Nextdoor develops, you'll also get the chance to mentor other team members and grow your role towards what you're most passionate about.

• Expertise in Kotlin and leveraging its features to increase the safety and clarity of our codebase
