Android Developer – Electric Coin Company

Electric Coin Company (ECC) is hiring an Android developer, and as our third mobile developer you will help us build native mobile SDKs and Wallets for Zcash—a cryptocurrency with world-class privacy.

At ECC, we’re on a mission to empower everyone with economic freedom and opportunity. We invented and support Zcash, a privacy-preserving digital currency built on strong science. As we continue our commitment to the growth of Zcash we must continue our commitment to supporting our open source developer community.

Specifically, we have launched the world’s first privacy-centric cryptocurrency reference wallet and its respective SDK, and we need to keep continuously building and innovating in the Android product space to make financial privacy accessible to everyone.

It’s a great opportunity to be on the front lines of the crypto industry, learning how blockchains work directly from the talented engineers creating them, advancing privacy, while also leveraging the latest Android features.

As a Remote First company with developers from all over the world, we’re looking for a collaborative, humble, self-starter who can come onboard and make an immediate impact and substantial contributions to help our Wallet Team reach its objectives.

We are releasing halo arc, our 5th network upgrade, and building a wallet from the ground up. We take a forward-looking approach, working with Jetpack Compose, Coroutines, and a bit of Rust. Our primary mobile product is the SDK, along with our new wallet app currently under development.

Why take this job? Here are a few reasons:

• Fun Fridays. No meetings on Fridays and you can work on anything work related that you want.
• Code review and testing are concrete parts of our development culture.

This means you need the empathy to be a supportive colleague and collaborate well with people of widely different backgrounds, personalities, and skill sets.

At the end of the day, we’re looking for someone who’s as excited as we are about building the future of cryptocurrency. Sound like you? Get in touch at [email protected]. Have questions? Feel free to reach out directly to [email protected]
