Job Details
what is CRED?
CRED is an exclusive community for India’s most trustworthy and creditworthy individuals, where the members are rewarded for good financial behavior. CRED was born out of a need to bring back the focus on a long lost virtue, one of trust, the idea being to create a community centered around this virtue. A community that constantly strives to become more virtuous in this regard till they finally scale their behavior to create a utopia where being trustworthy is the norm and not the exception. to build a community like this requires a community of its own; a community special in its own way, working towards making this vision come true
here’s a thought experiment: what do you get when you put a group of incredibly passionate and driven people and entrust them with the complete freedom to chase down their goals in a completely uninhibited manner? answer: you get something close to what we have at CRED; CRED just has it better
here’s what will be in store for you at CRED once you join as a mobile developer
what will you do?
- architect and own critical features for the CRED app, driving them from concept to deployment and beyond, ensuring a flawless experience on millions of Android devices
- go deep into the Android ecosystem to solve complex, non-trivial problems, from optimizing rendering and battery performance to building secure, offline-first experiences
- act as a technical cornerstone for the team, mentoring other engineers, championing best practices in Android development, and shaping our technical roadmap
- bridge the native and cross-platform worlds by building and maintaining robust communication layers between our core Android components and the Flutter UI, ensuring seamless and performant interactions
- take full ownership of the end-to-end development lifecycle: design, build, test, release, and maintain
you should apply if you:
- have 3-6 years of deep experience in Android development, with a proven track record of shipping high-quality, consumer-facing apps
- possess an expert-level command of Kotlin and the Android SDK, with a nuanced understanding of the Android framework's internals
- are a true polyglot engineer, comfortable and productive in a Flutter environment, and believe in using the right tool for the job
- live and breathe performance tuning, with demonstrable experience in debugging and optimizing memory, threading, and rendering issues on Android
- are obsessed with creating pixel-perfect, elegant user interfaces and have a keen eye for translating design mockups into fluid on-screen experiences
- have a strong point of view on mobile architecture and design patterns, and can lead technical discussions and decisions
- have an AI-first mindset, comfortable leveraging AI tools to generate functional code
how is life at CRED?
working at CRED would instantly make you realize one thing: you are working with the best talent around you. not just in the role you occupy, but everywhere you go. talk to someone around you; most likely you will be talking to a singer, standup comic, artist, writer, an athlete, maybe a magician. at CRED people always have talent up their sleeves. with the right company, even conversations can be rejuvenating. at CRED, we guarantee a good company
hard truths: pushing oneself comes with the role. and we realise pushing oneself is hard work. which is why CRED is in the continuous process of building an environment that helps the team rejuvenate oneself: included but not limited to a stacked, in-house pantry, with lunch and dinner provided for all the team members, paid sick leaves and a comprehensive health insurance
to make things smoother and to make sure you spend time and energy only on the most important things, CRED strives to make every process transparent: there are no work timings because we do not believe in archaic methods of calculating productivity, your work should speak for you. there are no job designations because you will be expected to hold down roles that cannot be described in one word. since trust is a major virtue in the community we have built, we make it a point to highlight it in the community behind CRED: all our employees get their salaries before their joining date. a show of trust that speaks volumes because of the skin in the game
there are many more such eccentricities that make CRED what it is but that’s for one to discover. if you feel at home reading this, get in touch
